About

W.C. Miller Collegiate is a Grade 9-12 high school located in Treaty One territory in Altona, Manitoba. It was built in 1965 and officially opened on January 31, 1966, by the Honorable Duff Roblin. W.C. Miller offers a wide range of academic and elective courses including French Immersion and Vocational programming.

French Immersion Information:

  • While we do not currently offer enough courses for students to earn a French Immersion diploma, students can take courses in French each year to maintain and grow their French literacy skills. We offer 7 French Immersion credits - Francais 10/20/30/40 along with Social Studies 10F, Geography 20F, and History 30F.

Vocational Programming Information: 

  • Our students have access to vocational programming on-site and across the region. This is made possible through RRTVA, a partnership between 5 southern Manitoba school divisions. Detailed programming information is available through the RRTVA website


At W.C. Miller Collegiate, we believe. . .

  • learning involves the home, school, and community and extends for a student's lifetime.
  • the best learning occurs when the physical, intellectual, emotional, aesthetic, and social lives of our students are engaged.

Relationship:

  • students need to know teachers care about them as people and that learning will flow from student-teacher relationships characterized by trust, mutual respect, and openness.
  • learning is best facilitated in an inclusive environment where everyone feels a sense of belonging.

Relevance:

  • wherever possible, learning should connect to life.

Risk-Taking:

  • learning is fostered when students are given the opportunity to take risks and learn through their mistakes.
  • students experience greater success when they take responsibility for their learning.

Reaching all learners:

  • students learn in diverse ways.
  • all students can achieve success.
  • a teacher's passion for learning is infectious and shapes the culture of the classroom.
