New Curriculum

How has the curriculum been redesigned & how does this benefit student learning?

The BC curriculum has been redesigned to support the changing world students are entering. The redesigned curriculum is student-centered and flexible, maintains a focus on literacy and math skills, and includes Aboriginal perspectives

Each month there is a page in the newsletter to show parents what a feature of the new curriculum looks like “in action” at PME.  Archived pages are available here.  If you would like further information about the curriculum, please visit:

How are teachers engaging students with Creative Thinking?

Creative Thinking is a core competency that is woven throughout our curriculum and is becoming more essential in daily life and the workplace. When students engage in creative thinking, they solve problems from a fresh or new perspective, and create solutions that are unconventional and require “thinking outside the box.” Creative thinking can be developed and improved by cultivating key techniques. Curiosity and open-mindedness are encouraged to provide the space for creative thinking to occur. New ideas and inspiration are developed through individual and collaborative brainstorming, play and periods of reflection. Although novel ideas are encouraged, they must also have value for their intended purpose. Students learn to evaluate their ideas by determining whether they support the well-being of self, community and the land.
