Have a Safe and Fun Halloween Sea to Sky School District!

Sea to Sky Schools wishes everyone a fun and safe Halloween! Families can look forward to a strong community presence on Halloween night, with local safety teams out and about—sharing treats, joining in the fun, and helping to keep everyone safe. We encourage everyone to celebrate responsibly, make safe choices, and remember that fireworks are prohibited. Students are welcome to wear costumes to school, keeping in mind our commitment to inclusivity, safety, and respect for all. Please leave accessories like swords, wands, or brooms at home, and save masks for our parade. For more safety tips, visit Health Canada’s Halloween Safety Guide linked to this post—and for trick-or-treaters, remember to wear something bright or reflective, carry a flashlight, and use face paint instead of masks for better visibility.

World Mental Health Day

October 10th is World Mental Health Day — a chance for all of us to reflect on how we support mental health in our schools, workplaces, and communities.
This year’s theme is “Access to Services: Mental Health in Catastrophes and Emergencies,” which is such an important reminder about making sure support is available, especially in tough times. Visit our Mental Health and Well-Being Resources page for helpful links and supports.

Principal's Message

At Pemberton Secondary, our commitment remains strong to the values that guide our school community—Community, Purpose, and Respect.
 
These values are more than words; they shape how we learn, how we treat one another, and how we contribute to the world around us.
 
Community – Together, we create a supportive environment where every student feels a sense of belonging and connection.
Purpose – We encourage each learner to discover their passions, set goals, and take steps toward their future with confidence.
Respect – We hold ourselves and each other accountable to kindness, responsibility, and care in our classrooms, hallways, and beyond.
 
As we step into this year, we invite all students and families to carry these values with us, so that PSS continues to be a place where everyone feels seen, supported, and inspired.
 
We are excited for the year ahead and look forward to partnering with you to ensure every student has the opportunity to thrive. Thank you for your continued support in making PSS a strong and vibrant school community.
