Our Mission: As a community of faith and learning, we pride ourselves on nurturing the spiritual, intellectual, physical and social growth of each community member.

Our Vision: As a caring and compassionate team of dedicated professionals we hold ourselves accountable in striving to achieve excellence in our learning community. We hold ourselves accountable to:

Discipleship

- So that through the teachings of the Bible we become a community that cherishes and cares for all of God’s creation.

We will:

ü      Continue to ensure that religion content is made relevant to our school community

ü      Develop a curriculum that focuses on active discipleship, leadership and citizenship in each division

ü      Explore and utilise multicultural issues (including expanding appropriate resources in our library and classrooms)

ü      Continue to nurture a safe, welcoming, healthy, active and caring school community.

Collaborative teaching and learning

-       Across the curriculum and across divisions.

 We will:

ü      Establish our professional learning community based on the following triad of meetings: Leading Student Achievement Team, Divisional Teams (JK – 4 and 5 – 8) and Shared Learning Meetings

ü      Complete the development of common long range plans at grade level that are based on common assessment (AND ESSENTIAL OUTCOMES)

ü      Share weekly planning time with the same grade teachers to discuss curriculum, teaching, learning and assessment

ü      Focus our dialogue on student needs driven by data analysis (formative, summative, CAT-3 and EQAO)

 Assessment for learning

-       That will inform teaching and planning, and adapt teaching to the specific needs of each child

We Will Continue To:

ü      Develop and utilise common grade level rubrics for assessment that will evaluate achievement of essential outcomes in each subject area

ü      Adapt assessment in language and math so that there is consistency across grades and a continuum across the school

ü      Use assessment data to identify students at risk and address their needs accordingly (i.e. through differentiated instruction)

ü      Identify students that are overachieving and tailor the curriculum to suit their needs (i.e. through differentiated instruction)

ü       modify assessments for IEP and ESL students
