Strategic Planning and Direction

Strategic Direction 2024 – 2028

Boards of Education are responsible for establishing a Strategic Direction (or Strategic Plan) to identify values and priorities based on the specific needs, strengths, and challenges of the School Districts they govern and, most importantly, to improve outcomes for all students. Although by nature colonial, a Strategic Direction is the mechanism through which the Board is held accountable to its learning community, rightsholders, and the Ministry of Education and Child Care. 

Through feedback gathered from students, parents, teaching staff, school and district administrators, and individual trustees, the Board of Education for School District No. 64 (Gulf Islands) has identified four priorities for strategic focus:

  • Truths, Reparation, and Restoration
  • Integrity and Responsibility
  • Relationships and Belonging
  • An Ethic of Learning

Framework for Enhancing Student Learning

The Framework for Enhancing Student Learning is a legislative tool that supports continuous improvement in British Columbia's K-12 public education system. It emphasizes accountability and evidence-based decision-making, establishing clear planning and reporting expectations for all school districts. The framework focuses on advancing equitable learning outcomes and promoting the intellectual, social, and career development of every student in the public school system.

The Gulf Islands Enhancing Student Learning Report highlights our shared commitment, expertise, and ability to plan, evaluate, and adapt to improve educational outcomes for all students.

By analyzing provincial, district, and school-level data and collaborating closely with the Ministry of Education, staff, and partner groups, the documents below provide clear evidence of the district's ongoing focus on enhancing student success through deliberate, strategic planning, review and action.
