CCSA @ Crofton Elementary Community School

The Chemainus Crofton Community Schools’ Association (CCSA) is an incorporated not-for-profit society, governed by a volunteer board composed of community members and school personnel. We provide programs, services, resources, and support for community members of all ages, with or without children, in our school system. Our service area ranges from Saltair, including Chemainus and Crofton, Thetis and Penelakut, to Westholme; however, everyone is welcome to participate in CCSA activities.
The CCSA furthers the use of our school facilities by extending hours and services beyond the typical school schedule with programs on evenings, weekends, and throughout the summer. We aim to maximize interaction between our schools and the community by using our school as a centre for community-centric activities and services.
We work with three public schools in the North Zone of the Cowichan Valley School District: Chemainus Elementary Community School, Crofton Elementary Community School, and Chemainus Secondary School. Although we have our own society, the CCSA is closely affiliated with School District 79, as are all community schools with their districts. Our staff work closely with the school district staff, teaching staff, principals, and custodians at our three schools to ensure that we are meeting the needs of the school community as well as the community at large.
