Bench Elementary
Bench Elementary is a Kindergarten to Grade 7 school located in beautiful Cowichan Bay. Bench has an enrolment of just over 400 students for the 2023/2024 school year. The school has a long and rich history in South Cowichan. Our school is located on the unceded lands of the Quw’utsun people, specifically the village of Ts’lpulus. We recognize that we are grateful to work, learn and play on this beautiful land. The school property has original trees and is a beautiful property, as well as being near Cowichan Bay Nature Estuary Centre, Cherry Point Beach, Shearing Park, and Cobble Hill Mountain.
