Our Philosophy

Pikangikum parents and community members want their children to have an education which  will guide them to become positive, contributing members of a society that recognizes the rights  and dignity of each individual while also honouring Anishinabe culture, language, and values.  

 

Students entering Eenchokay Birchstick School have an opportunity to develop a sense of pride  in their goals.  

The Pikangikum Education Authority and school staff strive to provide a learning environment  in which people: 

a) Value one another unconditionally; 

b) Are fair and honest; 

c) See the school as a safe, beneficial educational environment; 

d) Feel that they belong and their presence and contributions are valued; e) Expect growth in themselves and others; 

f) View themselves as part of a cooperative team; 

g) Seek opportunities to improve; 

h) Support one another; and 

i) Plan and act upon plans.
