Our School
Madeira Park Elementary School is nestled in the heart of Pender Harbour, and is surrounded by beautiful waterways and nearby local businesses. MPES is 30 minutes north of Sechelt and can be accessed via Hwy 101 and Gonzales Rd.
At our small school, big things happen every day! We may be small in size, but we’re rich in community, connection, and care. Every member of our school — staff and students alike — strives to live by our shared values: Belonging, Respect, Responsibility and Honesty.
Our dedicated staff model these qualities in everything they do, creating a safe, nurturing environment where students feel valued and inspired to do their best. In turn, our amazing students bring these values to life each day — showing kindness, integrity, respect, and a sense of responsibility that make our school a truly special place.
Together, we learn, grow, and support one another. At our school, we don’t just teach lessons — we build character, community, and confidence.
Getting Active
Our students love to move! Whether it’s in the gym, exploring on nature walks, or learning in our outdoor classroom, being active is part of every day. They participate in exciting field trips, Track and Field events, and the Running Club, building strength and teamwork along the way. With Volleyball and Basketball teams adding a fun competitive spirit, and the annual Terry Fox Run inspiring everyone to give their best, our students truly embrace an active and healthy lifestyle.
