Letter of Invitation
As the Sunshine Coast Board of Education, we believe in our responsibility to enhance student learning and create equity for each learner in the district by developing and maintaining a powerful and transformative Strategic Plan.
The plan will be supported and framed by provincial policy, the redesigned curriculum and local context as we journey together. As we imagine students crossing the stage and embarking on their next stages of life what skills and attributes do we want them to have developed, what dreams have we as an education system helped to foster and support and how does our strategic plan set direction for each student to flourish and succeed?
What an opportunity for all of us to paddle together, as a canoe family, and create opportunities, space and support for change that aligns our practices and operations with the redesigned curriculum, equity, inclusion, Indigenous ways of knowing and being, and Truth and Reconciliation to ensure each child flourishes and reaches their full potential.
Your voice matters and we wish to hear from you, the Sunshine Coast learning community, through the new Strategic Plan development process this school year!
Throughout the fall, we will be reaching out to you at four different times for your help in developing the:
- board visioning
- aspirational student learning goal
- evidence to inform progress; and,
- action plan
In the new year, a team of representative volunteers from across the district will use your ideas, leading research, and current district data to pull together and design the new plan to present to the Board of Education in the spring of 2024.
Aligning the district’s department operational plans and school growth plans will ensure teamwork and a district wide focus on our student learning goal. We are committed to ongoing progress checks and reporting out to you each year.
We thank you in advance for engaging over the next school year in a series of survey questions and meeting opportunities across the district to share with us what we need to know.
We look forward to developing the new five-year Sunshine Coast School District Strategic Plan with you!
Your Voice!
The initial consultation phase is underway, and we invite you to contribute your perspective to the Board’s Visioning through an ONLINE SURVEY accessible at https://yourvoice.sd46.bc.ca or a paper-based survey available from your school office.
The survey is open until October 15th.
