1 School Profile: is located in Greenwood Park subdivision in Kingston East, and serves a community that includes suburban and rural areas, CFB Kingston, and Howe Island. Our school is located in the parish community of Holy Name Catholic Church and we place a strong emphasis on developing our faith through service within our school community. This year we have chosen to focus on the theme of respect; respect for self, others and our shared environment. Our school benefits from community partnerships, some of which include: St. Martha Daycare, Terry Fox Foundation, Hotel Dieu Art Gallery, United Way, Clothes for Kids, Kingston Military Family Resource Centre, Knights of Columbus, St. Lawrence College and the Faculty of Education at Queen s University. The Council is a strong and vital part of our school community. Our Catholic School Council works in partnership with staff to enhance student achievement and well being for all students by purchasing equipment and resources as well as sponsoring community building events throughout the school year. In addition to our regular curriculum programs, offers a variety of student leadership activities including sports teams, Choir, ECO Team, Social Justice Committee, Yearbook Committee, Intramural Teams, Lego Club, Safe Schools Team and Learning Commons Committee. We believe that children learn best through rich and engaging tasks, inquiry learning, and a reciprocal teaching and learning format that uses technology at point of instruction to reinforce the essential skills of collaboration, critical thinking, communication, creativity and inquiry. We believe that our programs should prepare students for the rapidly changing, technology driven, globalized world around them.

Theory of Action: If through an inquiry stance and growth mindset (where we honour student voice and offer students choice) we identify and meet student learning needs, then student thinking, learning and achievement will increase. Scholarship School Priorities: 1. Teaching and learning is rooted in inquiry, co planning and co teaching (rich, relevant and engaging work for teachers and students) with the support of colleagues in our school, within our Math Pod and alongside our Math Coach. The focus of our professional learning is as follows: Teachers will continue to work on building their pedagogical content knowledge and strategies (using As a community of learners, created in the image of God, we inspire and nurture compassionate communities of service that give witness to Catholic social teaching. Theory of Action: If we model and teach responsible and accountable practices and the call to care for all of God s creation, then our students will grow as responsible citizens who respect the environment and contribute to the common good.
