District & School Goals

Improve student achievement in literacy and numeracy, physical and mental well-being, and belonging

Through a comprehensive review of our current assessment practices and the intentional integration of universal design for learning and strength-based reporting, we aim to enhance student engagement and achievement.

Improve equity 

We will enhance equity within our school community by embracing and celebrating the diverse backgrounds, cultures, and orientations of all students. This will be achieved by acknowledging and honoring the diversity of our student body both in and out of the classroom. 

Continue on our journey of reconciliation with First Nations, Metis, and Inuit

As part of our school’s reconciliation journey, we will increase the sense of belonging and engagement for all our indigenous learners.  We will foster respect and understanding by integrating the indigenous ways of knowing into the curriculum, while also promoting Indigenous art and literature into the school environment.
