Our Mission

Our mission describes our school's purpose. Our vision depicts our desired future. The principles needed to achieve our mission and vision are articulated in our values. Finally, the actions we need to demonstrate to make our mission, vision and values a reality are described in our collective commitments.

We have developed these statements in collaboration with our staff, students and families. They are part of our School Success Plan.

Mission

Our learning community is committed to providing high quality learning opportunities for all students to become independent, life-long learners. The mission of our school is to facilitate the academic, social, physical and emotional development of each child. We do this by providing a safe, caring environment, which challenges each student and instils a love of learning, a quest for knowledge and respect for themselves and others.

Vision

In three years, we will be a collaborative learning community founded on our beliefs that students learn best in a positive, caring, and supportive atmosphere, where they are encouraged to take responsibility and ownership for their learning. Students will be actively engaged in purposeful, meaningful learning and have opportunities for success. Teachers are knowledgeable, committed and participate in shared decision making and leadership responsibilities. Teachers will engage in PLC to align effective teaching practices, assessment and evaluation techniques and in data driven dialogue.
