Welcoming place for all to learn

Connaught Community School

This seems like an obvious question but: Why are schools important to a community?

Schools have the potential to build well-educated citizens ready to take on responsibilities as contributing community members. By working together, schools, families, and communities can prepare for a more promising future.

Connaught Community School is a Pre-Kindergarten to Grade 6 elementary school in North Battleford. It was founded in 1913 and the Living Sky School Division thankfully acknowledges their place on Treaty 6 Territory, Traditional lands of the Nêhiyawak, Nakawe, Dene, Lakota, Nakota, Dakota, and Métis people. They honour the spirit and intent of our sacred treaty relationship and take action for reconciliation by teaching our shared history and learning from the land and each other.

Time and again, Connaught Community School has shown that it’s students and staff represent the future of North Battleford. Schools can help transform a child and strengthening a community.

And that can’t happen without the staff that make Connaught Community School the incredible place that it is. The people who work in administration at Connaught Community School makes every student and family member feel welcome. The staff helps students and teachers alike to work together to create an open, welcoming place for all to learn and grow.

You can see that in everything Connaught Community School does – right down to the announcements and notes of encouragement they have to share on socials.

Connaught Community School is proud that they are able to ‘play and work together.’ This is something you not only see in the bright faces of the students today – but you will continue to see in the joyous faces of the community tomorrow.
