​​​​​​​​​​​​RC MacDonald - home of the Ravens!

Located in the heart of Coquitlam and surrounded by the natural beauty of our West Coast environment, RC MacDonald is a place where students, staff, and families come together to create a vibrant, inclusive, and supportive learning community. Our school motto, “Together We’re Better,” reflects the spirit of collaboration and connection that defines everything we do.

As the new principal of RC MacDonald, I am honoured to join a school community that values kindness, curiosity, and a strong sense of belonging. From the classroom to the playground, our students are encouraged to grow as learners and as people—supported by a dedicated team of educators and a caring network of families.

Our school song beautifully captures the pride and joy we feel as part of the RC MacDonald family:

"R.C. MacDonald is the school where we belong,
R.C. MacDonald is why we sing this song.
It’s not too large, it’s not too small,
It stands amongst the trees so tall..."

These lyrics remind us that our school is more than just a building—it’s a place where every child is seen, heard, and celebrated.

As Ravens, we soar together—lifting each other up, embracing challenges, and celebrating our successes. I look forward to working alongside our incredible staff, students, and families to make this school year one filled with growth, joy, and meaningful learning.

Warmly,
Tamara Sengotta
