2019-2024 Strategic Plan

New Westminster Schools launched a five-year plan (2019-2024) and roadmap for learning and engagement built around four key objectives:

  1. Transform student learning
  2. Build meaningful relationships
  3. Ensure full participation in learning
  4. Lead into the future

The plan affects and reflects the work done by New Westminster Schools and outlines ways the district can improve its partnerships with allies and the community and support local students and their families.

Departmental strategic objectives

Each board office department has its own short and long-term goals that are part of the bigger strategic picture. Learn what district staff are doing to make New Westminster Schools a welcoming and supportive educational community for all learners.

Indigenous education and reconciliation in schools

The New Westminster Schools Board of Education is officially committed to implementing recommendations and calls to action outlined by Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission.

The district is also dedicated to supporting the academic and social needs of all Indigenous students in New Westminster, being the first urban, off-reserve district to sign an Aboriginal Education Enhancement Agreement in British Columbia.
