​​​Support for Students at the CBE

Our students’ success is our top priority and we understand that our students live complex lives and that many factors both in school and outside of school can affect their ability to learn. The CBE offers a variety of services (such as Culture and Linguistic Support, Exceptional and Special Needs, and Psychological Services) to support students, their families and our school, so students can be successful learners.

Resource Center

The Resource Center Provides a flexible learning environment for students.  This is a multi-use room and is used to support a variety of student learning needs and initiatives, such completion of courses through ADCL and online learning, additional learning supports for all students and IPP programming. In addition to school wide supports, the Resource Center also supports the ASD Cluster Program as well as complex learners through specific programming. Access to the Resource Centre is coordinated by the Student Support team and classroom teachers based on individual student need.
