Student Indigenous Education Advisory Circle

The Student Indigenous Education Advisory Circle is an opportunity for DCDSB Indigenous students to share their voice and culture with students across our board. The Circle meets in February, April, June, September and November where members of the Indigenous Education Advisory Circle invite students to discuss what they would like to see happen or initiative implemented in Indigenous Education within our board.

Indigenous students meet other Indigenous youth throughout the Durham Catholic District School Board, as well as community members to share their knowledge and extend their learning.
