Keating Elementary School celebrated the grand opening of their Nature Playground on September 22nd with great fanfare! Thanks to the Peninsula Co-Op and Garden City Tree & Landscape who made this project possible through their generous donations. Festivities included a "Barn"-B-Que, Panorama inflatables, face painting and a ribbon cutting ceremony. It was a true celebration of the strength of our community.

We are all excited about what will be another year of success and engagement for our students, families, employees and communities. We are extremely proud of our culture that ensures successes for all children. There are many reasons why parents want their children in Saanich and why our employees choose to work and live in our community, including our atmosphere of pervasive caring and our history of high standards and strong performance. I encourage you to explore this website and, more importantly, get to know our schools and what they have to offer. If you are already in the Saanich family, welcome back; if you are joining us for the first time, we can't wait to get to know you.

Best wishes,

Fall 2016 Registration
