Dear Chinook Park Families,
I am excited to announce that I will be the new principal of Chinook Park School beginning August 2022!
I am looking forward to working alongside you to continue providing a safe and caring environment where students can each achieve their personal best. The foundational skills of literacy, numeracy and student wellness will continue to be our focus at Chinook Park as we plan for the upcoming school year. As a parent of elementary-aged children myself, I know how important strong elementary programming is in order to set our students up for future success and I take this responsibility very seriously.
A born and raised Acadian from New Brunswick, I obtained my Bachelor’s Degrees in Education from the University of Moncton. I moved to Calgary in 2009, which was quite a change for me, having only having ever lived in small East-Coast Francophone communities. I was fortunate to enjoy a couple of French Immersion teaching positions at two CBE middle schools before pursuing my career in school leadership. I began earning my Masters degree in Education at the University of Alberta in 2013. From there, I accepted a position as Assistant Principal at Elboya School, followed by another Assistant Principal position at Valley Creek School. From my experience working in dual track French Immersion schools, I understand and appreciate the importance of strong language acquisition teaching practices in all curricular areas.
It is my privilege to have this opportunity to work alongside the staff, parents and students of the Chinook Park community. Together I am confident that we will continue to find new and innovative ways to engage our students and guide them to approach learning with confidence and competence, as well as challenge themselves towards higher-level thinking. I look forward to meeting and collaborating with each and every one of you to support our students to achieve their personal and academic potential.
Sincerely,
Guillaume Comeau
