Many of the outcomes and targets are focused on improvements in all areas of the School Division’s operations. We will continue to offer the best possible Catholic education program for our students given the financial resources at our disposal. Our desire to bring the Gospel message to life will always be the main focus of our Catholic schools. We know we have the dedicated and committed staff that will ensure our students are successful learners, concerned citizens and role models of their faith. Superintendent’s Message Our Three Year Education Plan represents a total commitment to excellence in Catholic education for all of our students in the K to 12 spectrum. We have an excellent system, but we recognize there is always room for improvement or at the very least the focus to maintain our strong tradition of excellence in learner outcomes. The most important dimension – our faith life, will continue to be a focal point as we facilitate the growth of our students in the spiritual, physical, academic, emotional and social dimensions. Our staff is well prepared to carry out their professional responsibilities. As we move forward into our Professional Learning Communities’ model, our staff will collaboratively plan, organize and deliver the best instructional strategies to meet the diverse learning needs of their students. We are and will continue to place a great deal of emphasis on the concept of “Assessment for Learning”. This concept is alive and well in Elk Island Catholic Schools and we hope to build upon our project for the next three year period. We will continue to rely on the input from our School Councils and our Parent Communications Committee. We have and always will see parental involvement as an essential component of the Catholic education system. The added feature of our parishes in each of our communities only strengthens our partnered effort to educate the whole child. We appreciate the involvement of the School Councils in the development of this plan and certainly look forward to their input and cooperation in the future. Accountability Statement The Education Plan for Elk Island Catholic Schools for the three years commencing September 1, 2006 was prepared under the direction of the Board in accordance with the responsibilities specified in the School Act, the Government Accountability Act, the Policy on School Authority Education Plans and the provincial government’s accounting policies. The priorities outlined in this Education Plan were developed in the context of the provincial government’s business and fiscal plans. The Board is committed to achieving the planned results laid out in this plan. This plan will be communicated to all stakeholders via the WEB page, copies to each school and copies to school councils. 1 Vision: • The Elk Island Catholic Separate Regional Division, through partnership with the home and parishes, is a mission-driven, socially just, faith centered Division that provides Catholic leadership through faith in action. • The Elk Island Catholic Separate Regional Division's schools are leading edge, innovative, technological, student-focused centres of excellence in which each child's talents, gifts, and abilities are developed in a holistic manner. • The Elk Island Catholic Separate Regional Division is responsive to parents and has the confidence of the public and community at large. • The Elk Island Catholic Separate Regional Division is a learning organization that through its effective, experienced, and qualified staff delivers current pedagogy and curriculum. • The Elk Island Catholic Separate Regional Division is an employer of choice that provides for continued development of its staff. • The Elk Island Catholic Separate Regional Division is a welcoming, highly communicative and flexible School Division that is responsive, creative and open to the world. • Through modern facilities, worldwide linkages through technology, and responsible management of resources, the Elk Island Catholic Separate Regional Division provides an effective learning environment for its members.
