Past activities have included: composting programmes, bicycle paths, reduction of excess packaging, environmental education, and reduction of pesticide use. Board Committees have also participated in regional waste-management, air quality and transportation initiatives.

It is time for Discovery School to take a big step forward. Our vision is of a larger, more well equipped school that will be a resource for children, parents and teachers in Victoria and across Vancouver Island.
