Welcome to Waterloo Catholic District School Board’s Director’s Annual Report for the 2022-2023 school year.
I am delighted to welcome you to this year’s annual report, which serves as a testament to the dedication, commitment, and success that we have achieved together in our mission to provide quality, inclusive, faith-based education across Waterloo Region. As the Director of the Waterloo Catholic District School Board, I am honoured to introduce this report, reflecting on the past year’s accomplishments, and sharing our vision for the future.
In the face of unprecedented challenges, our community has displayed resilience and adaptability, navigating new experiences, with a spirit of unity and compassion. Together, we have embraced innovative teaching methods, fostered inclusivity, and strengthened our bonds as a community.
In this Annual Report, I am pleased to present the comprehensive framework of the 2022-2025 Multi-Year Strategic Plan (MYSP). Within the MYSP, strategic objectives are articulated across the three pivotal pillars of our Pastoral Plan: Awaken to Belong, Ignite to Believe, and Strengthen to Become. Each pillar delineates specific goals tailored for students, staff, as well as our valued parents, families, and community. In 2022, we kicked off our three-year pastoral plan with the theme AWAKEN.
In the pages that follow, you will find a comprehensive overview of our achievements, academic highlights, and the positive impact our schools have had on the lives of our students, families, and the broader community. It is our hope that this annual report not only informs but also inspires.
We owe our success to the tireless efforts of our educators, the unwavering support of our parents, and the dedication of our staff. Together, we make up a vibrant and inclusive community that is deeply committed to creating a nurturing and academically enriching environment for all our students.
As we look to the future, we remain firm in our mission to provide the highest quality education, while maintaining a strong foundation in Catholic values. Our journey is guided by faith, and we are excited about the opportunities that lie ahead. With your continued support and prayers, we can build a brighter future for the next generation.
I extend my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has contributed to our shared vision, making it possible for our students to flourish and carry the light of faith and knowledge into the world.
Sincerely,
Tyrone Dowling
Director of Education, Waterloo Catholic District School Board
