Irene Kelleher was born in Matsqui on December 16, 1901. Irene’s parents attended Saint Mary’s and Saint Anne’s Residential School in Mission. Raised in the Fraser Valley and eventually returning to the area later in life, Irene was a vital contributor to public education in British Columbia and a respected community leader.

Please note a correction to the school supply letter and the newsletter regarding gym strip. Gym strip is needed for Gr. 4 & 5 students only. 

Grade 4 & 5 students will need gym strip/shoes (navy shorts/white T-Shirt, non-marking running shoes). K-Gr. 3 students will NOT need gym strip.

A BIG THANK YOU to Mrs. Diana McAllister, Kindergarten teacher (and part-time florist/gardener 😊) & Mr. Robert Carmichael, retired principal, our school garden volunteers, for the incredibly gorgeous flowers that brighten up our school!

Welcome back to school! After what has been a busy couple of weeks we are starting to get settled into classes and routines here at Auguston Traditional. It has been wonderful to see the excitement from our students as we move into our new year and as they make new connections with teachers and friends. Being new here as well I can say that this is an amazing school community full of dedicated staff, parents, and volunteers and also some pretty great students. I have really appreciated the warm welcome I have received and am looking forward to an awesome year ahead.

Thanks for a great year Auguston! Have a safe and enjoyable summer! 

Good Luck to our Grade 5’s as you move on to middle school! You will do well!

Thank you very much to the team of parent volunteers who prepared and served the potatoes and lettuce that were harvested from the school garden for more than 200 students to enjoy. As well, thank you to the Auguston Traditional PAC for their support of this event by funding some of the tubs of potatoes, the lettuce transplants and the luncheon supplies. Additional thanks to the BC Agriculture in the Classroom Spuds in Tubs program who also funded a few of the tubs.

Thank you, Mr. Lande, and Volunteers for making it a great Sports Day! Our first Sports Day since 2019!!!

Way to show your support for Run for Water, Auguston. Good work!
