From time-to-time, the Director is required to present to the board on various topics. While many topics come before the trustees for either deliberation or information, the topic of Catholicity in our schools is an essential part of the foundation of this school board and worthy of regular commentary. This report should be viewed as a “dashboard” observation, meaning it is a gauge to reflect what is taking place in Dufferin-Peel. It provides a view of the state and health of Catholicity in our board. The report also contains examples of concrete actions that our schools take to demonstrate our Catholic nature. Using this document as a foundation, staff will soon present a “best practices” report that will illustrate the many good things that occur in our schools, so that other schools can share and benefit as well.
