  • Annual Report RAP Annual Report 2014-15
    2014-2015 AnnuAl RepoRt RAP Annual Report 2014-15 The Restorative Action Program Board of Directors is extremely pleased once again with the many positive results that occurred during the year. We began our year in developing a strategic plan and we expect to finish this important process by June 2106. The data collected from our evaluative tools clearly demonstrate that we are making a difference. Our Literature Review, completed this year by the University of Saskatchewan, identified that we are a world leader in our multi-faceted delivery system. We believe our strength lies not only with our Prevention, Intervention and Reconnection Model, but also within the concept of an engaged supportive community. When we work together, along with youth in an inter-disciplinary fashion, we utilize our collective strengths. As a result of our many partnerships, our youth increase their skills and assets needed to live holistically healthy lives. Student voice is paramount in our Restorative Action Program. The Board of Directors received a letter from a grade twelve student asking that their school be considered for RAP. It was a moving, well written letter. As a result, the Board Executive and the School Division met with this student and explained the implementation process. What was most encouraging is that this student had met a RAP Worker from another school and realized how a program such as RAP could make a significant difference in her community. This young lady clearly understood that the concept of building social capacity leads to empowerment. The Board of Directors want to thank our staff for their dedication and commitment and express our deep appreciation to those who volunteer their time, energy and money to ensure that our Restorative Action Program continues to meet the needs of our youth.

  • Nomination the Board of Trustees of Saskatoon School Division No. 13 Is Pleased to Nominate Ray Morrison for the Saskatchewan Sc
    Nomination The Board of Trustees of Saskatoon School Division No. 13 is pleased to nominate Ray Morrison for the Saskatchewan Schools Boards Association’s Award of Distinction. The Context Saskatoon School Division No. 13 (also known as Saskatoon Public Schools or SPS) is the province’s largest school division with a projected enrolment in fall 2018 of 25,895 students and an operating budget of about $250 million. The division operates Saskatoon’s 49 public elementary schools and 10 public collegiates, and has one alliance school on the Whitecap Dakota First Nation as well as two associate schools in the city— Saskatoon Christian School and Saskatoon Misbah School. The school system has a complement of 1,807 teaching and 1,037 non-teaching employees. Operating in a major urban centre brings a unique set of challenges to Saskatoon Public Schools, not the least of which is steady enrolment growth; in the last 10 years, our student numbers have increased by more than 5,000. And they are a diverse group: about 18 per cent of our students self declare their First Nations, Inuit or Métis heritage; about 10 per cent are enrolled in French immersion programs; about 25 per cent speak a language other than English at home; and about 10 per cent receive English as an Additional Language instruction. Division programming also supports a significant number of students with complex and challenging learning needs. Even with all the growth and diversity in our system, Saskatoon Public Schools has maintained, for more than a dozen years, a steadfast commitment to two strategic priorities: Literacy for Life and Collegiate Renewal.
