As you are likely aware, we have been working to develop a new Saanich Schools Strategic Plan.  The Board’s Strategic Plan serves as a framework through which district directions and decisions are considered and initiated.  To develop a draft 2022-2027 Strategic Plan, we engaged in a year-long process of analyzing provincial and local student achievement data, as well as having extensive consultations with students, parents/guardians, staff, and the W̱SANEĆ First Nation. 

Four strategic themes emerged from this year-long process.  They are broad vision statements that outline areas in which the district will focus its actions to improve student success. 

The four identified themes:

▶ LITERACY - To improve student literacy across the curriculum for all students with a particular focus on early learning
▶ INDIGENOUS LEARNER SUCCESS - To engage in practices that support culturally responsive and barrier-free learning environments for Indigenous students
▶ MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLNESS - To promote mental health and well-being through social emotional learning and trauma-informed practice
▶ CITIZENSHIP - To provide opportunities and experiences that inspire learners to be knowledgeable, curious and active global citizens

We want your feedback on the proposed Strategic Plan.  To do this we have created a simple, open response survey to hear your thoughts and comments.  We hope you can find some time to provide the Board with your thoughts as we look to finalize the plan later this spring.

We look forward to hearing from you.  The engagement survey closes on Feb 25, 2022.
