Student Life
Safeguarding Procedures
In addition to our health and wellness programming and support systems, Shawnigan considers the safety of its students to be of primary importance. We strongly believe that students in our care are entitled to be protected from harm and to experience a positive educational journey that is characterized by physical safety, social connectedness and inclusivity. As a boarding school, we recognize we hold a heightened responsibility for ensuring an abuse-free environment and we take this responsibility seriously.

We acknowledge with respect the Coast Salish Peoples on whose traditional lands and waterways we live, learn and play. We are grateful for the opportunity to share in this beautiful region, and we aspire to healthy and respectful relationships with those who have lived on and cared for these lands for millennia.
Shawnigan Lake School is an independent co-educational boarding school for ages 13 –18 on Canada’s beautiful West Coast. Our diverse, interdisciplinary and innovative programming helps shape the next generation of global leaders.
