Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

York Region District School Board of Trustees Approve New Strategic Plan: Building Unity, Achieving Excellence

On 04 October, 2024 By YRDSB

Aurora - At the October 1, 2024 Board meeting, the Board of Trustees approved a new Multi-Year Strategic Plan. 

With the theme, Building Unity, Achieving Excellence, the plan focuses on bringing together our school communities in support of student success. Established by the Board of Trustees, the Multi-Year Strategic Plan sets the priorities and direction for the school board and is centred on three priorities:

  • Student Achievement
  • Health and Well-Being
  • Human Rights and Inclusive Education

The new Multi-Year Strategic Plan aligns with Ministry of Education priorities, is student-centred and was developed based on staff, student and community feedback. 

“We are grateful to the many students, staff and community members who shared their input and helped us to develop a Multi-Year Strategic Plan that reflects the community we serve,” said Ron Lynn, Board Chair. “This plan will help to ensure we continue to deliver high-quality education and remain a leader in public education.”

“This Multi-Year Strategic Plan sets out clear priorities that will guide the work of our system in the years ahead,” said Bill Cober, Director of Education. “The plan has a clear focus on the achievement and well-being of all students, and the essential role that staff and community play in advancing student success.”

Newmarket HS Student Shares Experiences With Dual Credits

On 27 September, 2024 By YRDSB

Taking a dual credit course helped Kris, a Grade 12 student at Newmarket HS, explore potential careers, earn a college credit and refocus on school. 

The dual credit program allows students in Grades 11 and 12 to take college courses and earn both high school and college credits for the same course. York Region District School Board, in partnership with local colleges, offers a variety of college dual credit courses

“Now I have a college credit and it’s like I’m already on a solid path to graduating, which really helped me not only with that course but helped me just with school in general,” said Kris. 

He learned how to weld through the dual credit program and was inspired to explore other skilled trades. 

“The school board has a lot more educational opportunities than most people realize,” said Kris. 

Dual credits are only one of the many options available to secondary school students looking to gain skills, build experience and explore options in manufacturingconstruction or other areas of interest. Learn more about the options available at www.yrdsb.ca/experienceyrdsb

"I think it's important to actually see what it's going to be like in post-secondary and to actually be in the classrooms."
