Partners In Education

The Division hopes that students perceive their education is much more than classroom studies. Through our community partnerships, students receive the opportunity to meet and work with members of our community workforce. This awareness fosters an understanding and appreciation for the diligent and remarkable work people do.

It's All About Me

The Louis Riel School Division celebrates the It's All About Me program—an educational partnership since 2005 between the Division and the St. Boniface General Hospital Research Centre.

This program supports health and science literacy and brings current science and medicine at SBGH to all 38 schools of the LRSD by connecting with more than 3,000 Grade 5 to 12 students per year.

Other program initiatives include tours of the Research Centre, professional development opportunities for Middle Years teachers, presentations for parent councils and involvement in school science fairs.

Save Our Seine

Since amalgamation of the St. Boniface and St. Vital School Divisions in 2003, a pivotal border in Louis Riel School Division has been the Seine River. Over the last several years, the division has worked in partnership with Save Our Seine, with the goal being to protect, improve and restore the Seine River and its natural landscape. The two organizations have also supported the education of young people as they work to understand how to protect the riparian environment of the Seine.

This year, LRSD is introducing a revamped partnership - "Waterways / Sentiers d'eau " - which will invite all grades 6-8 students and teachers to participate in:

Promoting hands-on learning in Middle Years classrooms
Raising awareness about the Seine River water basin and the efforts to improve the quality of water and riparian habitats of the river
Connecting Manitoba Science curriculum outcomes to the "environmental protection" pillar of Education for Sustainable Development
Offering opportunities for students to engage actively as citizens in the community

More information on this partnership, which will be kicking off in October 2014, is available in the English and French brochures in the right sidebar.

The Division strives to establish and maintain partnerships with its community; when people come together to learn, we all benefit.
