About Us - Learner Success

NWSS School Learning Plan

The Canadian Education Association (CEA) describes engagement as the extent to which students:

identify with and love being at school,
have a sense of belonging,
participate in academic and non-academic activities,
strive to meet the formal requirements of schooling, and, perhaps more importantly,
make a serious personal investment in learning

At New Westminster Secondary School, we value a strength-based approach to learning and we believe that relationships are foundational to engagement with school and to all learning experiences.
