January 13 – At New Westminster Schools, we are proud to be launching our first-ever strategic plan for the next five years of inspired learning – a roadmap fully grounded in the collective wisdom of you: our students, staff, parents and community. (Learn more here).

And now we’re looking for your ideas for how we can allocate our budget for student learning on year one of our five-year learning journey.

In “Our Learning Journey” you will discover four key directions in our commitment to:

  • Transform student learning
  • Build meaningful relationships
  • Ensure full participation in learning, and
  • Lead into the future

Share your thoughts…

As we look to allocate our resources for the coming 2020-2021 year, we want to build momentum on what we’ve done so far, take guidance from your feedback, and make a difference for student learning.

Last year, you shared more than 1,560 thoughts on everything from student homework and the role of field trips in learning, to improved technology and more fine arts support. (See related article here).

Let us know what you see as priorities for the coming year!

Our question for you:

Guided by the four directions of our strategic plan, 
how can we best target resources (in 2020-2021) to ensure
the success of all students at New Westminster Schools?
