Welcome to Wabannutao Eeyou School
My name is Trevor Mercer and I am honoured to be in my fourth year as Principal at Wabannutao Eeyou School. My passion for education and supporting the success of all students accumulated over the past 29 years as I have embraced the roles of Teacher, Department Head of Special Education, Vice-Principal and Principal. In addition to my work experience, I hold a Bachelor of Education, Bachelor of Special Education and a Masters of Education. I believe in the opportunity for each student to succeed, by providing both effective instructional leadership and by embracing new ways to promote a positive school culture.
To ensure the best possible education, I believe we must have the collaboration of students, staff, parents/guardians as well as our community entities. It takes the entire community working together to educate our students. As educators, we are instilling in our students that they are the future leaders of this community and should take their role very seriously.
I foster a belief that it is important for everyone to have pride for our school and the community. As a leader, I encourage our staff to be active in the community, to embrace Cree Culture, and to learn along-side our students. It is through this partnership that staff will enjoy their time at Wabannutao Eeyou School and in the Cree Nation of Eastmain.
Warmest Regards, Trevor

Our students benefit from a custom-designed behavioural enrichment program. SNAP (Stop Now and Plan) teaches students to think through the consequences of their actions.
