Principal's Note

Welcome to Brechin Elementary … a great place to learn!

Brechin Elementary is one of the oldest elementary schools in beautiful Nanaimo BC. Our current building was completed in 1993. The school was uniquely designed for learning, featuring a full-sized gymnasium, multipurpose room and kitchen, library and computer lab on one side and 10 classrooms on the other.

Brechin is a K-7 school with an average population of 200 students. Our school community is committed to creating a safe, caring and orderly learning environment for all. We begin our day in the gym with our morning gathering, where we sing, listen to our morning announcements, and share a common social responsibility message. This community building time helps to set a positive tone for the day and keeps us all connected to one and other as a group of learners.

Our current school goals focus on improving reading and writing for our students. We are entering our second year of participation in the Network of Performance Based Schools and are very excited about the professional learning occurring for both our staff and our students.

Brechin indeed is a great place to learn!

Yours truly,

Mrs. Diane Goodman, Principal
