The Ministry of Education’s Literacy and Numeracy Secretariat has identified and initiated St. Barbara into the . This distinguished honour was given to the school because of the significant and sustained progress in student achievement. It recognizes the high standard of learning our students are achieving and the commitment and skill the staff members have obtained in understanding and practicing the strategies that make a difference in learning.
During the next few years St. Barbara School staff will meet regularly with other Light House Schools throughout the province to share and initiate successfully practises. We will be welcoming many educators and school teams into our St. Barbara community. Many staff members will be presenting at conferences and gatherings of educators the strategies we have implemented that have fostered the academic success of our students
