Learning Support Services

I recently met with the Burnaby representative for the Special Olympics BC, Rachel Borer.  She was pleased to share information with us,  as she feels that our students are under represented at the various opportunities that are available in Burnaby.

Special Olympics offer a wide variety of activities to Burnaby students from the ages of 2-18. Please check out the flyer and the Burnaby Schedule for details of these activities. There is something every night of the week! 

Active Start: a family-centred activity program targeting children with intellectual disabilities ages 2 to 6.  Through the program, children learn basic motor skills such as walking, running, jumping, throwing etc. in a fun and safe environment.

FUNdamentals: a continuation of the Active Start program for young athletes ages 7 to 11. The skills transition from basic movement skills to basic sport skills, providing participants with a more in-depth introduction to sport-related motor skills along with training and competition.

Sport Start: aimed at youth ages 12 to 18, Sport Start promotes specific sport education, proper nutrition and social inclusion through participation in positive sport experiences. The program also builds on the athletes’ existing motor skills, helping to translate   those abilities into sport-specific development and game play.
