The Sooke School District is currently developing its new Strategic Plan (2025-2029). This plan will serve as a roadmap, outlining the Board of Education’s vision, mission, and values while identifying priorities for the District. It will guide how we develop and support the education system to fulfill our mandate effectively. Our current Strategic Plan can be found here: Strategic Plan.
To date, we have engaged in the following work:
November 2023:
- Conducted an Environmental Scan (E-Scan) through a district-wide community survey to assess the relevance and effectiveness of the goals and objectives outlined in the 2021-2025 Strategic Plan.
October 2024:
- Student representatives from every middle and secondary school met with Trustees, the Executive team and Principals and Vice Principals to share their thoughts and ideas.
November 2024:
- In-person consultation sessions with:
- The District Leadership Team, including Principals, Vice Principals, District Principals, District Vice-Principals, Directors, and Managers
- The Sooke Parents' Education Advisory Council (SPEAC)
- Partner Groups: CUPE 459, Exempt Staff, Indigenous Education Council, SPVPA, The Sooke Teachers’ Association.
Using the themes and feedback from students, staff, parents/guardians, and partner groups, we have developed a survey to ensure everyone in our school communities and broader communities has the opportunity to share their thoughts and ideas.
We encourage you to review the slide deck, which presents provincial and local data on student learning and achievement, as well as insights into students' perspectives on safety, sense of belonging, and career and post-secondary readiness. This factual information reflects how our students are performing and has informed the development of the proposed Goals and Objectives. View the slide deck.
This survey will be open from December 3 to December 17, 2024. Feedback gathered will be combined with input from consultation sessions to inform the final Strategic Plan. There are 21 questions in the survey.
We encourage everyone to participate and help shape the future of education in the Sooke School District. Thank you for your participation.
