KLO has two Indigenous Student Advocates on staff. Our advocate team works out of the Gathering Room to support student academic, cultural, and wellness needs. Parents/Guardians are encouraged to reach out to schedule a visit, so together we can create a community that your child and family will be proud to be a part of. The advocate team is available Monday to Friday from 8:30-4:00. The hours may vary slightly due to meetings and off-site commitments.
Using the teachings of the Four Food Chiefs as our guide:
We support children, fostering intellectual and cultural growth through an Indigenous mindset. We empower each student to explore and strengthen their personal identity.
We offer cultural opportunities that strengthen home, school and community connections.
We support our students to nurture healthy relationships that promote their health and wellness that will inspire confidence and a sense of community with others.
