Annual School Development Report Page 1 This school development report for the 2013-14 school year outlines your school’s successes and highlights in matters such as student achievement and professional development.

As the strong foundation of any productive and successful school year, a school development plan must be undertaken by the entire school community to be effectively executed. This important process stands to benefit every member of the school community – in particular and most importantly, the students of your school.

As we continue to come together as a cohesive district and develop and implement a new strategic plan, the and Labrador English School District places a high value on the input and opinions of our administrators, teachers, support staff, school councils and school communities. I sincerely thank all involved for the work undertaken on this plan as well as on previous plans, and for focusing on student achievement and success. Our education system will surely benefit from enhanced collaboration throughout your school community as we work together for the benefit of our young people.

I am encouraged and enthused to see the amazing initiatives outlined within these reports; they will provide the sure footing we can all build upon to ensure a quality education for Newfoundland and Labrador students.

Sincerely,

Darrin Pike CEO/Director of Education Newfoundland and Labrador English School District.

Annual School Development Report Page 2 Principal’s Message

It is my pleasure to present the Annual School Development Report 2014-2015 for Lewisporte Collegiate. This report reflects on the school development plan established to improve student achievement and improve our school culture with a focus on safe and caring schools initiatives as well as highlight success of our students through a variety of academic achievements and co/extra-curricular accomplishments.

Lewisporte Collegiate strives to ensure students are enrolled in an appropriate program when transitioning to high school and are reaching their potential through their engagement in learning and participation in various co/extra-curricular activities. In mirroring the Newfoundland and Labrador English School District’s strategic directions, maintaining students in the appropriate program with a focus on using our data to identify students at risk and developing specific targeted interventions to ensure student success is a continued focus for Lewisporte Collegiate.

High school programming with our current student enrollment proves to be challenging as we attempt to offer an advanced program, Expanded Core French and Advanced Math, as well as an academic and general program that meets the needs of our students and the current graduation requirements. Student enrollment in Fine Arts programming, French, Skilled Trades among other courses indicates a demand for courses that are challenging for students, tap into their interests and skills as well as prepare them for post-secondary and/or placement in the work force.

In examining Lewisporte Collegiate’s external and internal data, high academic performance is evident and it is clear that focus is on teaching and learning. Public exam results and school based assessment results are also indicators of areas of need which are examined and plans are developed to address the identified needs, both by course and individual students. Plans are established to continue to improve status of students graduating from Lewisporte Collegiate.
