A special welcome to all our new Burnaby Central families and grade 8 students! It is wonderful to have everyone here with us at Burnaby Central as we look forward to a new year filled with learning, growth, opportunity and community engagement.
We also recognize the need to actively cultivate the special sense of community we’ve all come to appreciate at Burnaby Central. Being intentional about creating opportunities for families and students to come together in ways that help them feel connected to the school and one another is important to us – and all of you, I am sure. We are looking forward in welcoming our new students at the Grade 8 Orientation on September 2nd! We are excited to have you join us! We will do our best to make your transition to Burnaby Central, the best it can be!
