Our Mission
The Mission of the Winnipeg School Division is to provide a learning environment that promotes and fosters the growth of each student’s potential and provides an opportunity for the individual student to develop the knowledge, skills, and values necessary for meaningful participation in a global and pluralistic society.
Guiding Principles
The Winnipeg School Division:
- Believes in the equality, worth, potential and dignity of all individuals.
- Believes that the public school is an essential component of society and culture. By working co-operatively with the home and the community the Division can ensure that its programs reflect the changing needs of society and the values, beliefs, and traditions of the local school community.
- Believes that in addition to basic literacy and communication skills all students must be challenged to develop the ability to interpret and evaluate information.
- Believes each student must be given the opportunity to develop the values, attitudes, and moral principles that enable them to become responsible citizens who relate to others in an empathetic and moral manner.
- Believes its greatest resource is the staff. The Division is committed to providing professional development for all employees and an opportunity to participate in the decision-making process of the Division.
- Will advocate on behalf of students to ensure appropriate care and support services are provided for all children.
