The SD46 mission ‘Nurturing each learner’s academic, physical, social, and emotional growth; inspiring joy in learning; and strengthening their sense of personal and cultural identity, dignity, and purpose for their lifelong journey’. is realized through supporting learners to be engaged, collaborative, critical and creative thinkers with a strong sense of personal and social responsibility, awareness of themselves, and of their connection to place and community. Our Strategic Plan outlines 9 strands for helping our students achieve success, and include ‘ Fostering engagement between schools and circles of communities, from local to global, through which we are all connected; Focusing on connectedness and relationships to one’s self, family, community, and the natural world; and Embedding intergenerational relationships and reciprocity into learning experiences’

Sunshine Coast Community Schools are committed to supporting and
improving student learning and to strengthening individuals, families and
vibrant, healthy communities by providing quality programs, lifelong learning
opportunities, and connections to school and community resources.
Each of the five non-profit societies, under the umbrella of ACEbc (Association
of Community Educators of British Columbia), is overseen by volunteer boards
with paid coordinators to support schools and communities. We secure grants
and external funding to provide valuable programs, services and activities in and
out of school time to address nutritional, physical, social and emotional well-
being. Community schools enhance the work of both School District 46 and
our communities by offering site-specific community-based programs as well as
regional programs that benefit the entire Sunshine Coast.

Community Funding
The five Community School Societies and their Coordinators access various
streams of revenue. Beyond the core SD46 CommunityLINK funds, we are able
to secure and leverage additional funding from multi-levels of government,
grants and donations. We are also grateful for and reliant upon the generous
support of donations and the work of volunteers whose contributions help to
fill in the gaps.
