It’s the first day of classes for Pre-Primary through Grade 12 students attending Chignecto Central Regional Centre for Education schools and CCRCE executive director Karyn Cooling said it’s an exciting time of the year.
One new thing this year is the expansion of the Nova Scotia school lunch program into high schools, with Cooling noting students at North Nova Education Centre and Northumberland Regional High School in Pictou County now have access to the pay what you can lunch program.
Cooling said the CCRCE is starting into the first year of its system improvement plan, noting the focus remains on reading, writing, math, and student wellbeing. Cooling welcomed students back, and asked them to bring their curiosity, questions, and ideas to the classroom and encouraged them to enjoy the school year.
