Welcome to Stoney Creek Community School
For those of you who may not be familiar with what a Community School is, below is an image that helps to consolidate the idea that as a Community School, we are a hub for the community, an area for children, students, staff, families, residents, agencies, and local businesses come together to build a strong and caring community.
Of course, you can also read more about Community Schools under the Community Tab on this website.
On a more personal note, my name is Kurt Gurney, and I have the pleasure of being the principal at Stoney Creek. Our website is one of the ways we can communicate information and we hope you will find the pages informative and helpful.
Our school is a place that aims to be a welcoming hub that promotes an inclusive and happy learning community. Members of our school strive to create a caring and engaging learning environment for our students that is safe for all. The partnership of parents, students, staff and community members make this school great!
Stoney Creek is part of a unique community in North East Burnaby. Our school is situated in a beautiful park setting at the base of Burnaby Mountain and provides a center for families and includes a variety of community services including a YMCA Before and After-School Care Facility, Creekside Youth Centre, and Environmental Centre, a Family Strong Start Centre, and much more.
We have a diverse student population of approximately 350 students in grades Kindergarten through seven, who exhibit a wide variety of strengths and learning needs. The Stoney Creek staff is highly collaborative and implements initiatives, structures, and teaching strategies that meet the needs of the students we serve.
Our Community Council has a significant role in all aspects of school life at Stoney Creek. They assist in bringing our school and our community together by hosting wonderful family events that draw not only family members of our students but community members that do not have students attending our school. Parents are instrumental in contributing to the intellectual, physical, social and emotional well being of all students. We truly value the contribution they make and appreciate their support as partners in the educational experience for all children, after all, you are our students’ first and foremost teachers.
I can’t wait for another amazing school year working in the Stoney Creek Community.
Principal
