Mission Statement: It is the mission of St. Boniface All Grade

School to establish a learning environment where each student achieves his/her fullest potential to become lifelong learners and

productive members of society.

Message from Principal and School Council

During the 2018-19 school year, staff at St. Boniface went through the process of writing a new School Development Plan for the next 5 years. With the help of our Director of Schools, a new plan was drafted in the fall of 2018. During February 2019, a team of teachers and administrators completed the Peer Validation of the plan. Following this process, edits were made based on recommendations made by the Peer Validation team. This new plan will be in effect from September 2019 to June 2024. The new School Development Plan contains two goals. The first goal, the academic goal, focuses on improving student achievement in an inclusive, multi-grade setting. This goal includes strategies around assessment, technology integration, deep learning, and collaboration among individuals inside and outside of St. Boniface to help maximize student learning at St. Boniface. The second goal of the plan focusses on creating a safe and caring learning environment, fostering wellness for all. Within this goal, there is a focus on continuing to develop and promoting a positive school environment through various initiatives, as well as creating an environment that is inclusive to all, including families and outside agencies. This plan was created with contribution from all staff. Members of the School Council were also invited to attend the professional development used to write the plan. The plan has also been re-visited at staff meetings and school council meetings and feedback has been solicited from all. Message from School Council Chair

The School Council has had several opportunities throughout the school year to be involved in the School Development process at St. Boniface All Grade. In the fall, we were presented with the School Development Plan. The Council was not directly involved in the writing of the plan, however our input will be taken into consideration.

At each meeting throughout the year, the principal presents to the Council the progress that was being made on the plan. We are asked for feedback and are given the opportunity to offer suggestions for change to improve the plan. With the decreasing amount of staff and students, we realize that these are stressful times and we are there to support and strategize with the schoolteachers and staff. We are also made aware of any new initiatives taking place at the school and are offered opportunity to give new ideas and suggestions where needed.

As School Council Chairperson, I hope that the council can continue to play a role in the School Development process and hope to be involved in the implementation of the plan in the fall of 2019.

Overview of School Our School Community

St. Boniface All Grade School is located in Ramea, NL, a small island community located on the southwest coast of the island portion of the province. Located in the center of town, St. Boniface is home to 25 students from Grade Kindergarten to Level 3, with no students in Grade 1, 4 or 7 during the 2018-19 school year. Given the small population of the school, multi-grading and multi-aging are quite common. Grades K to 6 and Grades 7 to 9 are multi-graded/multi-aged for all subjects. At the senior high level, there is lesser amounts of multi-grading given the nature of the senior high program; however, to help provide students with as many options and opportunities as possible for course selection, CDLI plays a major role in the education of students at St. Boniface, with 11 courses being offered through CDLI and all senior high students completing at least 2 CDLI courses.

During the current school year, there are 3.75 teaching units allocated to St. Boniface as follows: 3.25 regular teaching units and 0.5 IRT. Guidance services are provided to students by the Guidance Counselor at Burgeo Academy who visits our school several times throughout the year. For the 2019-20 school year, there is a reduction in the allocation for St. Boniface to 3 units. This allocation includes 0.5 of a unit for Instructional Resource and 2.5 regular teaching units. In addition to the teaching staff, St. Boniface has the following support staff personnel: 1 full-time secretary, 1 full time and 1 part time custodian, and 1 student assistant, who all play an integral part in providing a quality education to the students.

Partnerships

St. Boniface All Grade School has a number of important partnerships with the community of Ramea. Without support from the community, many of the programs, events, and activities held annually at St. Boniface would not be possible.

For many years, St. Boniface has had a scholarship program in place to acknowledge and reward students for their academic achievements throughout the year. This program is fully funded by local businesses, organizations, and individuals. Each year, more than $3000 in donations is received and awarded to students from Grades 7 to Level 3. Due to the declining enrolment, the total funds rewarded this year was $2320. This allows us to recognize the achievements of students and demonstrate our high expectations for student learning. The total for

The organizations and businesses within the community are also very supportive of the Recess Program operating at St. Boniface. Along with the Kids Eat Smart foundation, these organizations and businesses donate hundreds of dollars to support such a great program that the majority of our students avail of on a daily basis. This helps promote a healthy lifestyle by offering students nutritious choices for recess and also creates a school-community partnership which is highly valued by both parties.

A partnership with the Ramea Volunteer Fire Department has also been created to ensure fire safety rules and regulations are followed and practiced. This is mainly completed through activities during Fire Prevention Week and at various other times throughout the year when/if necessary.

The Community Health Nurse at the Ramea Medical Clinic has also been a regular visitor to our school delivering presentations to students and parents whenever requested.

Members of the RCMP have also visited the school regularly throughout the year. A session was completed with the primary and elementary students on internet safety. Another session was completed with the senior high students concerning rules of the road.

The school has also had a long-standing partnership with several organizations and groups who use the school building on a regular basis. The Ramea Recreation Commission uses the building several nights a week for sports, and the Ramea Beavers and Wolf Cubs use the school for meetings and various activities. By allowing these groups access to the school, we once again promote an active lifestyle as well as providing leadership opportunities for those who participate in them.

St. Boniface All Grade is also home to the Marie S. Penney Memorial Library (Public Library). However, the hours of operation have changed and we only have access to the librarian during one school day. Students can still access the library and its resources with their classroom teacher as necessary.

The school also has a long-standing partnership with the Winter Carnival committee. This committee uses the building during the carnival weekend to host both youth and adult activities.

Sessions from the Family Resource Center is provided by the Burgeo Preschool Operator through the Community Education Network. Children below the ages of five come to the school to avail of her services.

Key Highlights/Special Projects

Throughout the 2018-19 school year, the students and staff at St. Boniface have participated in a number of special projects and initiatives that have helped enhance the teaching and learning that take place throughout the year.

For the past 13 years, we have been participating in the annual Terry Fox Walk. This year we made it a fun challenge; if our students were able to collectively raise more than last year’s total, students would be rewarded with pizza for lunch at school, followed by an afternoon of activities in the gym. Students accepted the challenge with much enthusiasm and raised more than $1700.

For a number of years, we have held the Recess program at St. Boniface, funded mainly by Kid’s Eat Smart. As a part of the Kids Eat Smart program, we also participated in the Walk to Breakfast. We held a fundraiser for our recess program in February, called “The Wall of Love”. Community members, businesses, and organizations were able to have their name displayed on a paper heart in our school by making a donation of at least $2 to our program. We raised $398.

In February, we also recognized Anti-Bullying/Stand-Up day. Students participated in a number of different activities including taking a pledge to standing up against bullying, spread the niceness, anti-bullying badges, N-Ice Smoothies, and various other activities. It was a very enjoyable day.

Also in February, we held Education Week and Teacher-Staff Appreciation Week. The student council organized activities and theme days throughout the week. They also made gifts of appreciation for staff members.

The Student Council also hosted a number of different events and fundraisers throughout this school year. The council planned activities for Halloween, Christmas, Valentine’s Day, and Easter for the whole school. They also held various theme days throughout the year to raise money for the Janeway and the Autism Society.

The High School graduation was held on June 20. As a part of this ceremony, a church service was held at St. Boniface Anglican Church. During the service, an offertory was collected. This year students chose to donate the money to the Corner Brook SPCA. The graduation ceremony was a beautiful celebration of the achievements and growth of the level 3 students here at St. Boniface.

This year, we once again collaborated with the Community Youth Network in Burgeo for the collection of pull-tabs. These tabs were taken to a metal recycling depot and the funds received are then donated to the Janeway. Our guidance counsellor, Mrs. Penney, completed a number of lessons with students at our school: Friends - Grades 1-6, (Anti-Anxiety), My Blueprint Grades 11 and 12, (Career), LGBTQ, Grades K-12.

Our students also participated in the Jump Rope for Heart fundraiser for the Heart and Stroke Foundation again this school year. Members of our Student Council organized several skipping activities for the school. Together, we raised $629 for this worthwhile cause.

Mrs. Cutler took the junior and senior high students to Burgeo on May 24 to take part in a LGBTQ presentation. The students very much enjoyed their day spent in Burgeo attending these sessions.

Mrs. Skinner took her primary/elementary class to Burgeo on June 14. The students spent a wonderful day with students from Burgeo Academy. They went to the Burgeo Sandbanks where they took part in a number of activities. Our students also took a tour of the Burgeo RCMP detachment.

We continued with our Adopt-A-Grandparent Program again this year. Monthly sessions were held where seniors from our community would come to the school to take part in activities with our students. We ended our program with a year end celebration with music and a wonderful meal.

Mrs. Courtney took the elementary students to Kildevil from June 7 to the 9th. Students took part in various educational outdoor activities. The students and Mrs. Courtney enjoyed their time at this camp.

Internal Assessment Data (synthesis of report card data to report trends) Brief overview (1 page maximum) Due to the low enrollment of students (each grade being less than five students), results cannot be shared. However, as a whole, students are meeting or exceeding grade level expectations across all subject areas. What do these results tell us? These results indicate that students are achieving well at St. Boniface All Grade. It also indicates that teachers have high expectations for student learning and are closely working with students to ensure learning is occurring.

Finally, include a summary of how the school development plan will address the trends indicated by the data analysis. It should provide a description of how the objectives of the plan (through its strategies and actions) will focus on these priorities. Although student achievement is high across all grade levels, it was noticed that students need to improve in the area of Speaking and Writing skills at all grade levels. This is included in the new school development plan. It was also noted that student’s level of independence and motivation could be higher. Strategies to improve in these areas are also added in the new school development plan.

School Development Plan for Current Year (3 – 4 pages) The school development plan for the current year is part of a 5 year plan developed using the Provincial School Development Model. The school’s plan is revisited yearly using the results from the Report on the School Development Plan from the Previous Year and the Analysis of the Most Current School Data. While a school endeavors to meet the target dates of its 5-year plan, it recognizes that its plan is flexible and that revisions may occur annually. This section outlines the School Development Plan for the current year. The templates list the goals, objectives, intended strategies, support plans, and action plans. Also included in this section is the Operational Issues Report.

Objective 1.3: Enhance the collation and analysis of student achievement data to inform instruction and improve levels of achievement. Strategy 1.3.2: to develop SMART action plans to address identified learning needs

Question 1: What do we want our students to learn? What skill, knowledge or behavior are we focusing on?

Discussion Points: Speaking is an issue for 7-12 students. Writing challenges at a number of grade levels. Other ways of representing could be a challenge. Students do not explain/expand on their ideas well. They usually only refer to the given text and not other sources. Students feel that whatever they do is good enough. Students do not seem to take pride or risk in doing something new. K-6 students really like role-play but the skits are very basic and not expansive.

Question 2: How will we know if they have learned it? What data will we use? Do we need to create or modify methods of collecting data? How often will we administer the collect the data? How often will we analyze the results?

Discussion Points: No obvious needs in this area

Question 3: What will we do if the students do not learn it? How will we change our current practices to increase student learning? What strategies or interventions can we use? How are we differentiating our instruction? What structures can we change to provide students what they need? How can we be creative with scheduling and time? What further training might we need?

Discussion Points: More opportunities for speaking in class. Develop ways to expand on the topics. Writing - Doing more writing tasks that require more connections. Provide no options in some assignments so that there is another way to represent

Question 4: What will we do if students already know it? What enrichment activities or extensions can we use? How are we differentiating our instruction? How can we be creative with scheduling and time? What further training might we need?

Discussion Points:

What follow up is needed on based on the information shared at this meeting?
