How We Define Success For Our Students
We define success in more than a single way. Success to us is when we see both student progress and academic excellence in our testing scores. We also see success when we see students strive to be the best they can be as individuals, whether this is in academics, leadership situations or on teams. (Parent council and staff)
What We Are Most Proud Of
We are most proud of our students who go out of their way to be good citizens and ambassadors for our school. We are also proud of the responsive learning community we create and support, as parents and staff.
What Makes Our School "Great" and How Do We Know
Our school is “great” and we know because of all the positive comments parents, students and community members make on an everyday basis. Results in the satisfaction survey reinforce these observations. Scoring above provincial norms on Provincial Achievement Tests is contributing evidence that our students are achieving academic excellence.
