The Seamless Day program provides continuous care and support for children from the early morning, throughout the school day, and into the early evening. The in-school setting paired with familiar educators allow for smoother transitions and more predictable routines. Consistent and continuous care are extremely beneficial for the holistic development and well-being of the children they provide for.

Hollyburn Elementary is pleased to offer a dynamic Band and Choir program under the direction of Mr. Feige. The Band program has two levels: Beginning and Intermediate. The Beginning Level is geared towards Grade 6 or 7 students with no experience on any band instrument, while Intermediate Band is designed for students who have at least one-year experience.

Here are just a few benefits for children involved in a band
program:

• Students develop discipline and pride while learning to play an instrument;
• Band is a true team sport – everyone works together and everyone “wins”;
  Research shows that students who study music perform better in other subject areas;
• Students are prepared for high-level instruction and fun involvement in band at the secondary level.

If your child is interested in joining the band program, please fill out a band registration form available on the district website by clicking on this link HERE.
Any questions, comments, or concerns you may have please contact cfeige@wvschools.ca.

We are looking forward to a fantastic year of celebrating the Arts. ​

At Hollyburn Elementary School, English Language Learners (ELL) are supported using a variety of methods. Students may be given instruction in a small group setting. Students will focus on learning new vocabulary, sentence and paragraph structure, English grammar, and Canadian customs. Additionally, students may be supported through a “push-in” model. ELL students may work in class with support from an ELL teacher, or work in a small group on classroom themed activities. We strive to further your child’s understanding of the English language at his or her individual level.

At Hollyburn, we believe that sports and physical activity are essential to helping students thrive—not just physically, but socially, emotionally, and academically.

Through participation in school sports, students develop confidence, teamwork, leadership, and resilience. Whether they’re playing basketball, running track, or kicking a soccer ball, our students learn to set goals, work together, and celebrate both effort and improvement. These experiences help build a strong sense of self and contribute to positive, healthy lifestyles.

Beyond competitive sports, we place a strong emphasis on physical literacy—the ability and motivation to move with competence and confidence in a wide range of activities and environments. This means helping all students not just be active, but to find joy and purpose in movement.

We are fortunate to work closely with our Physical Literacy Leads, Amber and Erin, who support our school in planning and delivering engaging, inclusive movement experiences. From outdoor learning and body breaks to structured activities and games, they help ensure students are getting out of their seats and moving their bodies in meaningful, developmentally appropriate ways.

These experiences are woven into our daily routines, physical education classes, and school events—building the foundation for a lifetime of health and wellness.

At Hollyburn, athletics and physical literacy are more than part of our school—they are part of who we are. They connect us, challenge us, and support every child in becoming their best self—body, mind, and heart.
