Our Beliefs
Students define us. We must inspire them. We work together in a cohesive environment to build a foundation for learning. Working together supports optimal learning. It promotes new ideas, new processes and new ways of doing, all of which we embrace. We are not bound by individual talents but support and learn from each other. We challenge ourselves to constantly seek to understand and to know.
We celebrate school and community because we value people. All that we do is built on the needs of the student. Learnings and beliefs about the students determine how we teach. We address diverse learners through their journeys by developing inquiring minds and providing the nurturing they need along the way.
Through global awareness we feel the connectedness within and to the world, thus bringing citizenship to a deeper level of understanding. We ask good questions and develop authentic, real world learning.
We show that we care.
Mission
Educating Tomorrow’s Citizens Today
Vision
Our Learning Community engages in active learning today to continually build tomorrows of opportunity.
Motto
Dream, Learn, Act
Values
We build a strong community based on respect of the individual. A strong academic program is provided based on individual strengths and needs. Learning how to learn will result in lifelong learners. Learning is enhanced through strong positive relationships. “Students come first” is an action, not a phrase.

School Development Plan
Each year, our school prepares a development plan with input from teachers, school staff, students and parents. We review many sources of data, including report cards, provincial achievement test results and school surveys. Based on this information, we create our plan identifying targeted areas for growth. Our school development plan is not meant to represent all of the work that takes place in our school, but rather it focuses on specific areas for improvement.
