SCHOOL MISSION/DESCRIPTION
Avoca Collegiate is a Kindergarten to Grade 9 School located in the Town of Badger which is situated at the meeting point of the Exploits River, Red Indian River and Badger Brook on the Trans-Canada Highway in Central Newfoundland. The name Avoca is an Irish term meaning "where the waters meet". Founded in the 1890's, Badger is rich in forest resources and has a long history of involvement in the forest industry in the form of sawmilling and supplying pulp wood to the nearby paper mill in Grand Falls-Windsor. Today with the reduction of jobs in the forest industry many people in Badger commute to a wide variety of jobs in the central Newfoundland area and indeed to the rest of Canada and the world. The town has a population of about 900 people with approximately 340 families. The community has been and continues to be extremely supportive of the school.
