The Echo Program is a classroom community enriched by Aboriginal Perspectives for Aboriginal students and non-aboriginal students who want an education enriched by an Aboriginal focus.
Why consider an ECHO educational experience?
- I value an Aboriginal perspective to enrich my education
- I value a supportive relationship with an Aboriginal teacher as my primary
teacher, advocate, and role model
- I value a smaller classroom that emphasizes relationships, community,
acceptance, connection, and opportunities
- My parents would value working with an Aboriginal teacher to support my
education
- I value a strength-based program that helps students like me to find my
gifts and greater understanding of my heritage
A Grade 9 Program at Windsor Park Collegiate will
- discover and develop the gifts of aborignal students
- frame a vision of students' potential
- increase belonging and community
- strengthen relationships between school and family

supports, and opportunities
