HWDSB Trustees Approve 2023-2028 Strategic Directions

HWDSB is excited to share that at the October 2 Board Meeting, the Board of Trustees approved the Multi-Year Strategic Plan for 2023-2028!

Together, we charted a revitalized 5-year course for HWDSB with a powerful mission:  

 To ensure that every student experiences a sense of belonging and engages in dynamic learning to reach their potential and build their own future. 

Our new mission is underpinned by HWDSB’s new guiding values – Compassion, Dignity, Trust and Joy.  

2023-2028 Strategic Directions

1. Upholding Human Rights, Safety & Well-being – We will support all students and staff to feel safe and secure in our classrooms and school communities.
2. Providing Equitable Quality Education – We will offer equitable quality educational opportunities to improve student engagement, learning and achievement for future-readiness.
3. Collaborating with Students, Families & Communities – We will build reciprocal relationships and partnerships to enhance access and engagement for students, families, and communities.
4. Building a Sustainable Education System – We will adapt to a rapidly changing world through responsible fiscal management, investing equitably in accessible and sustainable facilities, and supporting a robust workforce.
5. Reinforcing Indigenous Educational Wellness & Reconciliation – We will honour our commitment to Truth and Reconciliation by nurturing respectful and reciprocal relationships among Indigenous Peoples and Treaty Partners, and by cultivating intergenerational healing and wellness in a restorative education system

Thank you to the HWDSB students, staff and community members who shared their input! Your feedback helps us ensure all students feel safe, welcome and included at school. Planning a path forward will reinforce that we are proud to be HWDSB!
