Hear From Our Teachers

“I was born and raised on Vancouver Island & educated in the Island Catholic School System. Though I have traveled in Canada and to many other countries, I can’t imagine myself living or working anywhere else. ICS is a welcoming, caring and supportive community. I was inspired as a child by my teachers and hope I am making a difference now in the lives of my students. My passion is inclusive education and at ICS we build in love and include all.”

Catherine Davis, Learning Support Coordinator, St Andrew's Regional High School
