Our Vision: Rooted in Faith, Alive in Spirit
Rooted:
indicates that the Catholic faith is the basis around which the Board
exists and operates. That is, the faith dimension is its foundation.
Like a tree, the Catholic faith represents the roots, anchoring and
giving stability to the Board. The roots also represent the point where
nourishment enters and gives life. The Catholic faith gives life to our
learners and the organization.
Faith: represents
the Catholic faith. The Nipissing-Parry Sound Catholic District School
Board is a Catholic School Board, built on the teachings, practices and
values of the Roman Catholic Church, which need to be present in
everything the Board undertakes and provides.
Alive:
reflects excitement, energy, life, challenge and hope. This word gives a
sense of vitality and purpose to the organization, that is, to bring to
life the potentials of each learner, the richness of the Catholic faith
and the realization of the aspirations of all the individuals who are
stakeholders to the Board
Spirit: outlines the
importance of and a focus on both the Holy Spirit as part of the Trinity
and human spirit, that is, a spirit for both faith and life. It is
through one's spirit as an individual and as a member of the community,
that each learner, staff member, parent and stakeholder is energized,
moves forward, learns and is motivated to achieve their potential and be
a contributing member of their community.
