Stelly's Secondary School

What Stelly's Secondary School does

Stelly's Secondary School is a public secondary school located at 1627 Stelly's Cross Road in Saanichton, British Columbia, Canada, operating under School District 63 (Saanich). It serves students in Grades 9–12 within the Saanich Peninsula catchment area on the traditional territory of the W̱SÁNEĆ people. As a government-funded institution, it delivers the BC Curriculum leading to the BC Dogwood Diploma and charges no tuition to BC residents. The school's primary customers are local secondary school students aged roughly 14–18, with secondary cohorts including international students hosted through the Saanich International Student Program (SISP) and parents/families engaged via the Parent Advisory Council (PAC).

The school's product surface spans academic programs (French Immersion, Indigenous Education, Global Perspectives with Grade 12 trips to Tanzania), athletics (volleyball, basketball, soccer, rowing, track and field, plus a Climbing Academy), creative and performing arts (drama, musical theatre, band, vocal jazz, choir), and specialized applied programs (Culinary Arts). Supporting services include counselling, career education, graduation planning, a learning commons, scholarships and awards, cafeteria food service, and a broad set of student clubs. The core technology layer is the Brightspace (D2L) learning management system used for course content delivery, assignments, and grade management, supplemented by Google Classroom for class-level communication and a district-managed student email system. Communication with families is maintained through the school website, the daily "Daily Buzz" newsletter, PAC-managed social media (Facebook and Instagram at @stellys.pac.sd63), and district email channels.

Funding is provided primarily through BC Ministry of Education per-pupil funding routed via School District 63. Ancillary revenue consists of optional student fees and activities — Prom/Dinner Dance tickets at CAD $125 per person, after-grad events at CAD $25 per attendee, cafeteria items at approximately CAD $3 per pizza slice, yearbook purchases, and third-party-vendored school photos (Artona). The school has no independent ownership structure, no investors, and no shareholders; governance sits with locally elected school trustees, and community participation is channeled through the PAC.
