DAVID OSBORN
DISTRICT
69: SCHOOL COUNSELLOR
Learning is a
most important task and a most wonderful Gift. My Dad affectionately referred to
me as a “professional student;” and my Granny used to say, “Learning is never a
burden lad, you can carry it anywhere!” Well, here I am….still at school; and
hopefully sharing that which I am learning and have learned along the way. My formal journey of
learning is a meandering path: beginning with teacher training and a BA
from UVic and Open Learning; a diploma in ministerial
training in California; followed by a diploma in Family Therapy; training in
Conflict Resolution; and other related points of study. Most recently, I
completed a Master’s program from St.
Francis Xavier, integrating my work with Restorative Justice.
Qualicum Beach has
been my home since the early seventies and I have worked in many schools in our
district: initially, as a Child and Youth Care Worker; then, as a Special
Education Teacher; and presently, as a School Counsellor.
Currently, I’m working with Qualicum
Beach Middle School, District’s
Drug & Alcohol Review Committee, District’s
Enity Program, District’s
Restorative Justice Program, and False Bay School.
On my home side, my wife, Carrie, another learner, my son, Brayden
and I are very thankful to be living in beautiful Qualicum
Beach and for all that it provides for us as a family.
So here I am,
still at school and…still learning.
