Seeking Host Families for International Students

We are reaching out to see if any members of our school district community would be interested in becoming host families for international students for the upcoming school year.

Our students come from a variety of countries, primarily across Europe and Central and South America. They are always eager to experience Canadian culture, improve their English, and become part of a local family environment during their stay.

We are looking for individuals or families who are willing to open their homes and include students as part of their daily lives. This includes sharing meals, providing a supportive, caring and welcoming environment, and involving them in regular family activities—such as outings, sports, and social events. Transportation to and from sports and activities may also be required.

We offer placements of varying lengths to suit different preferences, including short-term stays of 3-4 months, as well as 5 and 10-month programs. Hosting can be a flexible and rewarding way to connect with students from around the world.

If you are interested or would like more information, please feel free to reach out to Jodi Hickey – jhickey@prn.bc.ca

Students Explore Future Careers at Xplorefest 2026

The Pomeroy Sport Centre was buzzing with energy on May 7 as School District No. 60 (Peace River North) hosted its annual Xplorefest, welcoming hundreds of Grade 5 students from across the region for a full day of hands-on career exploration.

Xplorefest is designed to spark curiosity and introduce students to a wide range of career pathways through interactive, engaging activities, while supporting the district’s focus on ADST (Applied Design, Skills and Technology). This year’s event featured stations in trades,science, technology, healthcare, and skilled professions, giving students the opportunity to build, create, and experiment alongside industry professionals and community partners.

From trying virtual welding, exploring tools used in the trades, to learning about healthcare careers, students were encouraged to think about their future in a fun and supportive environment. The event highlights the importance of early exposure to career possibilities and helps students begin to connect their interests and strengths to real-world opportunities.

“Xplorefest is all about hands-on learning and opening doors for our students,” said Superintendent Stephen Petrucci. “When students can see and experience different career paths at a young age, it builds confidence and helps them start thinking about what their future could look like.”

The event was supported by strong community partnerships, including a generous donation from Shell Canada, which continues to invest in career education opportunities for students in the region. Additional support from industry partners and post-secondary institutions, including Northern Lights College and University of Northern British Columbia, helps make Xplorefest a meaningful and engaging experience.

School District 60 extends its sincere thanks to all volunteers, educators, and sponsors who contribute to making Xplorefest 2026 possible.
