What is a Strategic Plan?
A Strategic Plan is the school district’s road map for action and future student success. The specific goals and strategies that are central to the Plan are shaped by the district’s core values and beliefs, vision, philosophy, mission, and guiding principles, all of which create the framework for everything we do to support our learning community. The Strategic Plan utilizes provincial and local student achievement evidence to inform us about what needs to be prioritized. These priorities then help shape overall district planning, budget priorities and district operations.
A visual representation of this strategic planning process can be found HERE.
Based on a review of provincial, district and school-level evidence, the Board has narrowed its focus to three areas designed to improve student success in Saanich Schools:
- Literacy
- Indigenous Learner Success
- Mental Health and Wellness
A summary of various provincial reports on student achievement in Saanich can be found HERE.
Our district’s 2021-22 Framework for Enhancing Student Learning (FESL) report with examples of local data can be found HERE.
We look forward to hearing your input and answering any questions you may have regarding the plan.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Mary Lynn Heron
Principal
