The Curriculum

All the classes from kindergarten to grade 12 will be visited by their school liaison officer each school year for a formal presentation on a grade-appropriate topic. The list of topics is currently being updated for the 2024/2025 school year.

The school liaison officers also work in partnership with the school administrators and outside agencies including ICBC, Parent Advisory Committee (PAC) and Delta Youth Services to provide presentations to both youth and their parents.

By maintaining a balance of education and enforcement initiatives the school liaison officers continue to provide Delta students with a safe learning environment and the tools for success in life.
