Welcome to the 2025-2026 school year! I would like to thank our custodial, maintenance, technology, office, and support staff for their hard work in getting the school in great shape to begin the year. At Selkirk, we are honored to be living on and educating on the shared and unceded territories of the Ktunaxa and Secwepemc People and the land chosen as home by the Metis Peoples of BC. We remain committed to our core values with the Circle of Courage and to cultivating a culture of belonging, generosity, mastery, and independence.
We are excited to welcome a new group of international students from many countries around the world. If you are interested in becoming a homestay family, please contact Barbara del Pino (barbara.delpino@sd6.bc.ca), our Homestay Coordinator.
We would also like to extend a special welcome to grade eight students from McKim and students new to Selkirk and Kimberley. We hope to see you at our Open House on Tuesday, September 16th. Selkirk newsletters will be emailed each month and will also be posted on the school website. Included in our newsletters are photos and highlights from some of our school activities as well as important school information. A direct link to staff e-mails can also be found on our school website. I encourage you to actively communicate with your child’s teachers throughout the year. Here’s to a great start to the year!
