Director’s Annual Report 2021-2022
A Message From Our Director of Education, John Klein
I am pleased to present the 嫩芽视频鈥檚 2021-2022&苍产蝉辫;顿颈谤别肠迟辞谤鈥檚&苍产蝉辫;础苍苍耻补濒&苍产蝉辫;搁别辫辞谤迟, highlighting some of the many great things that took place across HCDSB last school year.
The report is structured around the four strategic priorities that are outlined in the current Multi-Year Strategic Plan and is based on the Director鈥檚 Report to Trustees 鈥� Year 6 of Implementation and the 2021-2022 Strategic Plan Monitoring Survey, presented to the Board of Trustees at the October 4, 2022 Board Meeting.
I began my tenure as Director of Education in October 2022, and being relatively new to the HCDSB community, I am in awe of the calibre of Catholic Education that is offered in Halton. The good work accomplished last school year is a testament to my predecessor, Pat Daly, and the senior leadership team. It is also a reflection of the strong and vibrant partnerships that so clearly exist between home, school and parish across HCDSB. To the staff, students, families and community partners that are part of the HCDSB community 鈥� congratulations on a job well done!
I am looking forward to working alongside staff, students and families to continue building upon the successes the HCDSB has experienced thus far, and I am excited for what lies ahead and all we will accomplish together to ensure that our students can Achieve, Believe, and Belong.
