Indigenous Student Circle (ISC)
Calling all Indigenous students in Grades 6-12 to join DCDSB's Indigenous Student Circle
The Indigenous Student 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 and students are invited to discuss what they would like to see happen in Indigenous Education within our board. Students will meet other Indigenous youth in DCDSB and community members as well as have the opportunity to share their own knowledge and extend their learning.
If your student is in Grades 6-12 and would like to join the Indigenous Student Circle please contact us at IndigenousEducation@dcdsb.ca.
For those who are interested in joining the Indigenous Student Circle please create an original work to demonstrate why you would like to be a part of this circle. This could be done through a short letter, art piece, poem, video, voice recording, essay or anything that you feel represents your interest in being a part of this circle.
Please also include one reference (kindly send their name and the name of the school or department they work at) from any board employee to go along with your work and send all submissions to IndigenousEducation@dcdsb.ca.
If you have yet to self-identify as Indigenous, please fill out this form.
