The Matawa Learning Centre uses a holistic approach to education in order to help young Indigenous learners from the Matawa Communities in Northern Ontario.

Janine Landry speaks with Brad Battiston (Principal) & Jackie Corbett (Vice-Principal) of the Matawa Learning Centre The Matawa Learning Centre uses a holistic approach to education in order to help young Indigenous learners from the Matawa Communities in Northern Ontario. The program has educators that help students achieve graduation as well as cultural support, mental health workers, nutrition workers, physical activity coordinators, and around the clock workers to help support the youth in a wrap-around approach that centres the learner’s well-being.

Please note: The quality of the audio and video in each interview on NCCIE.CA may vary. NCCIE has been a capacity- and skills-building project for students and youth. They have been "learning-through-doing," learning how to arrange and conduct interviews while, at the same time, gaining experience with the technology.
