Principal’s Message

Hello There!

Thank you for your interest in Ecole Doncaster Elementary School.

We are a diverse population of Kindergarten to Grade 5 students. We have approximately 420 children enrolled in 19 different Divisions – 8 of which are English and 11 that are French Immersion; both programs run K-5 classes.

At Doncaster School, we want all students, family and staff members to feel they are an important part of the team, each contributing their uniqueness to making the whole, better.

Each year we set school goals to work towards that align with Greater Victoria’s School District’s Strategic Plan. At Doncaster we have been focused on and will continue to delve deeper into:

  1. How might outdoor learning and outdoor education positively impact (a) Social and Emotional well-being of staff and all students.
  2. How might outdoor learning and outdoor education (b) better foster our understanding of Indigenous ways of knowing and learning and deepen our understanding of Truth and Reconciliation.
  3. How might outdoor learning and outdoor education positively impact (c) academic achievement for all our learners, particularly literacy skills.

Each week I send out an electronic Weekly Updates to our families so this page will not be updated often. If you have any general or specific questions that cannot be answered from the website, please feel free to give the school a call or send me an email.

Sincerely,

Cindy Harte
