Introduction
Wabannutao Eeyou School is one of the smallest schools under the jurisdiction and operation of the Cree School Board. The following is a brief description of our school:
• We have 240 students (31 in Pre-K and Kindergarten, 112 in Elementary, and 97 in Secondary), divided into three sectors: Cree, English and French. We have a building for the Pre-K and K (Miiyaabin) and one for the Elementary and Secondary sectors (Wabannutao).
• Our teacher allocation is 22.5, which includes 15 home-room groups (Pre-K to Sec. V) and 8 specialists for various programs, such as Cree Language, Cree Culture, Math/Science, Art/Second Language, Physical Education, optional courses and Special Education.
• Many of our teachers are from the community and most of them teach at the Elementary level. W.E.S. also proudly undertakes the responsibility of training interested candidates to help them become qualified teachers. This is done in collaboration with Professional Development and the Associate Teachers. At present, there is one trainee in our school, working in the Secondary/Elementary Sector. Our goal, through this program, is to have all Native
teachers in all sectors and specialized areas.
• All of our administrative and support staff is Native: SAT, CEA, Office Agent Technician, Secretary/COBA Technician, Maintenance/Security and School Administrators. There are 18 employees working as administrative and support staff.
• Special Education/Remedial Services are expanding. We currently have one Department Head in Special Education, one Remedial/Resource Teacher and four educators for our special needs students
• We are able to offer many specialized programs/projects through New Paths, Niskamoon Corporation, Sharing of Expertise Plans, and Special Education Budgets. Such programs include: Science Fairs, Art/Music Extracurricular Activities, Cultural/Traditional Teachings, Bush Camp Days, Tutorial Services, and Sharing of Expertise Workshops. These projects make a difference in the teaching and learning in different areas of the curriculum.
