At Burkevale, we are working hard to ensure that all our students are supported, feel safe and have a sense of belonging. We are using Mental Health Strategy and this year’s action plan to focus on positive mental health for everyone in the school community.  We have been providing opportunities for staff and students to learn more about positive mental health and well-being.

The 78th annual Winterama festivities and parade took place over the Family Day weekend, and students and staff entered a Burkevale Float with the theme of “Love My Community.” A special thanks goes to Ms. Cameron, Ms. Currie, Ms. Rever, and Ms. Lethbridge for designing the float, as well as to all of the students and families who were a part of the day. The float looked amazing, and we were so proud of its first place finish once again! A huge thank you is also due to Towne Towing in Midland for generously donating the driver, truck, and trailer for the parade.
