The Art of Beading

JANUARY 31, 2022 -- The art of beading and adorning items has been around for centuries, from pre-historic time to present modern day. The art of beading in North America tends to represent Indigenous People’s culture and ethnicity. One can identify the various Indigenous Peoples simply by their sophisticated designs that they developed in their beading patterns.

Dear school families:

Happy New Year to RPS Staff and Families

JANUARY 28, 2022 -- Happy New Year to everyone from the Elders in Residence, Indigenous Advocates, Indigenous Coordinator (Jeff Cappo) and Supervisor of Indigenous Education (Vanéa Cyr)! They had a wonderful holiday luncheon in December (masks were taken off for the photos).

We honour the work, time and connection with students, staff, families and communities that all of these individuals accomplish in our schools. We hope for the remainder of the school year that people stay well and safe.
