Message from the Administration

Welcome to the Winchelsea Elementary School. We are located in Parksville on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada, in the Qualicum School District. We enroll approximately 320 students in kindergarten to grade 5, (ages 5 – 10 years). 

We strive to be a school where all learners meet with success, that recognizes that our students come with a wide range of interests, abilities, experiences, rates of learning & development.  We work hard to create an environment which encourages children’s natural curiosity to explore, while developing the confidence & foundational skills they need for success as a life-long learner.

We believe we are engaged in a partnership between home and school, based upon open communication, common understandings, and shared beliefs about how students should live and learn. We are strongly focused on the social development of children, key life skills which help us learn how to act towards ourselves and others. Our website attempts to:

- highlight some of the important things about our school
- provide a way for our students to reach out to the world
- be a useful place for our students & their parents to stay
