Our students continue to benefit from the strong relationships we have developed with parents, administrators, teachers, staff and community partners as we create Excellence in a Caring Culture, where everyone is learning and working together for student success.

There will be a thorough analysis of current and previous provincial and school-based assessment data to identify the areas of critical need and to determine plans to further improve student learning, so that we can continue to provide Excellence in Teaching and Learning.
