  • Seven Teachings - Living a Good Life

    Seven Teachings - Living a Good Life

    Belmead Staff will continue our Character Education Program, centered around the Seven Teachings. We have chosen this framework because it not only embodies the character and values we aspire for our students, but also deeply connects with our commitment to fostering awareness and appreciation of First Nation, Métis and Inuit cultures. These teachings seamlessly integrate with curricular connections in both Physical Education and Wellness and English Language Arts. Throughout the year, students will engage in various projects and activities to uncover each teaching, with the ultimate hope that they make meaningful connections that empower them to live as contributing and connected citizens.

    Many Indigenous groups and communities have adopted the 7 guiding principles, in one form or another, as a moral stepping stone and cultural foundation. Each community has adapted the teachings to suit their community values. Despite where the teachings may have originated, they share the same concepts of abiding by a moral respect for all living things.

     The following are the Seven Teachings:

    1. Truth - The Turtle carries truth. Truth is symbolic of law and principle. Since the beginning of time, the turtle has been chosen to be the bearer of truth and the basic truth of the laws of nature have not changed.
    2. Respect - Respect is the gift from the Buffalo. In all life, respect is the first and foremost. Respect oneself and respect will be bestowed.
    3. Courage - The Bear carries courage. We seek the strength and courage to face our greatest enemy - oneself. The bear will give us the understanding to seek resolutions.
    4. Love - Love is the gift from the Eagle. Love is a force that is undeniable. With love, all things are possible. It is everyone's right to have and experience it.
    5. Humility - The wolf carries humility. Central to the wolf is the family pack. To ensure survival, the pack must be as one. In one's life, much the same as the wolf, we need to understand humility.
    6. Honesty - Honesty is carried by the Sabe (Sasquatch).  It is from within and not to be confused with truth (law).  In reality, there is no "ifs" or "buts", there can only be honesty in one is to survive.
    7. Wisdom - The beaver carries wisdom. Wisdom is not to be confused with knowledge. Wisdom is the gained experience and knowledge is to know the difference and accept responsibility and accountability. 

    We encourage all our families to support us in this endeavor by bringing in these teachings into your home.

  • Interactions Program

    Interactions Program

    This program provides academic programming in a small group setting for children who display characteristics within the Autism Spectrum Disorder. The classroom provides a higher adult to child ratio than in a regular program.  The Interactions program is focused on improving the developmental, social and communication skills of the students.

    Staff in the program are knowledgeable in the area of Autism Spectrum Disorder and there is ongoing training throughout the year.

    A number of strategies are employed to help students reach their potential.  A sensory room with specific equipment will provide students opportunities to improve their fine and gross motor skills as well as regulate their sensory needs.

    Communication skills will be developed both in and outside of the classroom. Students will have the opportunity to be integrated into other classrooms, when appropriate, to focus on socialization and/or academic skills.

    Interested parents are encouraged to call and arrange a time to visit the program.
