Sunshine Coast School District

Achievement Contract

School District No. 46 (Sunshine Coast) embarked on a process during the 2008-09 school year to examine how to move our annual Achievement Contract further towards being a living testament to the work of all of our employees in promoting student success. The end product of the discussions with all of our stakeholders was a three-year document covering the school years from 2009-2012. This is our second update to that document and it is structured to respond to some of the key questions raised and to provide the most recent data sets and narratives that speak to our progress in response to the questions. As many of the objectives will require the full three years (and some might require more time than that), not all of the questions could be answered at the end of the second year. In fact, some of our work in addressing the questions has led to further questions that will need to be incorporated as we continue to address student achievement. We also continue to implement new methods of assessment and data gathering so some of our results of this past school year will form the baseline for future progress. The bulk of the text from the achievement contract submitted last year has been kept intact for reference purposes (see the end pages of this document) and this update is a response to a key question or area we tried to address in each of literacy, early learning, social responsibility, numeracy and Aboriginal education. The data sets will be updated to reflect the results of the current school year and we have kept all of the information on file for future reference or for discussion purposes with Ministry of Education representatives.

In addition to the relevant questions posed in each of the areas, we have also established targets for improvement in the areas of grade-to-grade transitions, completion rates and literacy at the elementary school level. Within each of these first two areas we have also created targets for our Aboriginal students. This summary will address each of the questions identified in the latest update of the Achievement Contract.
