​​Principals Message

It is such an honour to introduce myself as the new Principal of Panorama Heights Elementary. I feel incredibly fortunate to be joining such a caring and vibrant community—where students inspire us every day, staff bring kindness, dedication, and creativity to their work, and families provide strong partnership and support to help our children thrive.

A little bit about me:

• I am married and have two boys who attend(ed) schools in SD43.
  
• I have been in education for almost thirty years, serving as a teacher, faculty associate at SFU, and administrator.
• This is my 22nd year as a school administrator.
• I am a lifelong fan of the Vancouver Canucks, still believing that one day the Stanley Cup will make its way back to our city.
• I enjoy staying active, whether that’s working out or getting in a round of golf.

One of the greatest joys of being a principal is building relationships—greeting families at the start and end of the day, visiting classrooms to see learning in action, and connecting with students throughout the school. These everyday moments are what make this work so meaningful.

I am truly excited to serve as the principal of Panorama Heights Elementary and to work alongside such an engaged and supportive community. I look forward to getting to know each of you and to the great things we will accomplish together.

With gratitude and respect,

Mr. Ashif Jiwa
Principal
