We are more effective when we work collaboratively and seamlessly to support student needs. We are ALL responsible for working together for the success of ALL students. Improving communication and access to common information, establishing effective instructional and support teams, and focusing on wrapping around and strengthening the core relationship of teacher-student-families will improve student success.
We have developed a Framework for Collective Responsibility that will help guide the work we do from creating, implementing and monitoring School Plans for Learner Success, Local Education Agreements with First Nation communities, Individual Education Plans (IEP), and interventions by School-Based Teams (SBT). Common district assessments, with results made available in a timely and user-friendly format, support collaborative learning conversations by teams. Collective responsibility is a theme that emerges across all the other focus areas as we all do our parts toward common goals. Examples of this work include:
- Focus for the current year on walking together
- Collective Responsibility Framework
- New district data warehouse and information management system
- Strengthened school-based team (SBT) processes
- More opportunities for cross-school collaboration

Annual Mud Run
Cataline Elementary
<p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Over 40 Cataline students participated in this year's District Mud Run at Mountview Elementary School; a fun inter-school event where everyone comes together to enjoy some physical activity and have fun. Although this year was more indicative to a District 'Dust' Run due to the recent dry conditions, some students still found a way to keep the muddy tradition alive! Students had a blast running the 4km trails with their friends and families. Thank you to Martin Kruus for setting up the route, as well as Mr. McKlennan and the Mountview PAC for hosting the event. Thank you for keeping this annual tradition going!</span></p><table class="editor-table" style="width: 100%; table-layout: fixed;"><colgroup><col style="width: 50%;"><col style="width: 50%;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><th class="editor-tableCell editor-tableCellHeader" style="border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top; text-align: start; background-color: rgb(242, 243, 245);"><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/34570cd4-713e-4a00-9384-f1e74d6ff5cb?fingerprint=ppb20260519210923" alt="Annual Mud Run" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p></th><th class="editor-tableCell editor-tableCellHeader" style="border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top; text-align: start; background-color: rgb(242, 243, 245);"><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/3222aa7a-ebb6-4566-89e3-fba161a0e87f?fingerprint=ppb20260519210918" alt="Annual Mud Run 2" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p></th></tr></tbody></table><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p>
HUB Cycle - Everyone Rides Week
Cataline Elementary
<p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">It starts with a team and ends with students cheering on a peer who rode a bike for the very first time. That was the case when Ms. Bonnell signed up her class for the HUB Everyone Rides Program. With the help of the District Transportation team dropping of a trailer of bikes, and parent volunteers supporting our young riders, Ms. Bonnell’s students were very lucky to have participated in the Everyone Rides bike program. Students spent 5 lessons learning about bike maintenance, road safety, and how to ride a bike with confidence. This accessible bike program would not have been possible without the support of many, as well as the sponsorship of the HUB Cycle Foundation who generously donated the bikes, equipment and learning resources. Cataline was truly honoured to be part of this wonderful grade 4/5 program.</span></p><table class="editor-table" style="width: 100%; table-layout: fixed;"><colgroup><col style="width: 50%;"><col style="width: 50%;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><th class="editor-tableCell editor-tableCellHeader" style="border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top; text-align: start; background-color: rgb(242, 243, 245);"><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/9aee6d52-4839-49d2-bab8-af1182ff490b?fingerprint=ppb20260519203647" alt="HUB Cycle Everyone Rides Week" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p></th><th class="editor-tableCell editor-tableCellHeader" style="border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top; text-align: start; background-color: rgb(242, 243, 245);"><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/da418793-2532-4186-899c-de3f60f26696?fingerprint=ppb20260519203643" alt="HUB Cycle Everyone Rides Week 2" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p></th></tr></tbody></table><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p>

<p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Once again, Cataline grade 4 students had the very fortunate opportunity to partner up with Gavin Lake Forest Education Society to participate in the over night spring program. This is the second year in a row that the Gavin Lake Society has hosted Cataline students, providing them with the rich, accessible outdoor learning opportunity. Students were introduced to various learning modules including bouldering 101, camping 101, and a cool lesson about lichens. Students enjoyed camp life, sharing stories and laughs around the campfire, eating delicious camp meals in the hall, and sleeping in the wild nestled in cozy cabins. For some of our campers, this was the first time camping away from home, and it will be an experience they will not forget!</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p><table class="editor-table" style="width: 100%; table-layout: fixed;"><colgroup><col style="width: 50%;"><col style="width: 50%;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><th class="editor-tableCell editor-tableCellHeader" style="border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top; text-align: start; background-color: rgb(242, 243, 245);"><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/bdaf02bc-eefa-4245-80ab-6358333bfb60?fingerprint=ppb20260519185855" alt="Grade 4 Gavin Lake Experience" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p></th><th class="editor-tableCell editor-tableCellHeader" style="border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top; text-align: start; background-color: rgb(242, 243, 245);"><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/445b4fe0-ea14-4af8-8d72-58553add4f60?fingerprint=ppb20260519185857" alt="Grade 4 Gavin Lake Experience 2" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p></th></tr></tbody></table><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p>

<p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">CCSD27 has launched a new training module for ALL staff focused on recognizing worrisome behaviours. Throughout the month of April, staff across the district will be completing the Worrisome Behaviour Module as part of CCSD27’s ongoing commitment to student and staff well‑being.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><br><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Early recognition of concerning behaviour is a critical part of keeping schools safe, inclusive, and supportive. When adults understand the early warning signs that a student or colleague may be struggling, they are better equipped to respond early, connect individuals with appropriate supports, and help prevent concerns from escalating. This proactive approach strengthens relationships, supports mental health, and contributes to safer learning and working environments for everyone.</span><br><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">By ensuring all staff share a common understanding and language around worrisome behaviour, CCSD27 is reinforcing a culture of care, shared responsibility, and early intervention—key elements in fostering healthy school communities where students and staff feel seen, supported, and protected.</span></p><table class="editor-table" style="width: 100%; table-layout: fixed;"><colgroup><col style="width: 50%;"><col style="width: 50%;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><th class="editor-tableCell editor-tableCellHeader" style="border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top; text-align: start; background-color: rgb(242, 243, 245);"><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/ba22e76e-4efd-4f0d-9ae6-3626910a554e?fingerprint=ppb20260416054230" alt="All CCSD27 Staff Trained in Recognizing Worrisome Behaviour1 Hattie Darney" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p></th><th class="editor-tableCell editor-tableCellHeader" style="border: 1px solid black; vertical-align: top; text-align: start; background-color: rgb(242, 243, 245);"><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/3a3ad624-262b-460b-adf3-73f40bd47874?fingerprint=ppb20260416054229" alt="All CCSD27 Staff Trained in Recognizing Worrisome Behaviour Hattie Darney" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p></th></tr></tbody></table><p class="editor-paragraph"><br></p>

<p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">One of the strongest examples of collective responsibility we’ve seen recently has come through the mock audit process.</span><br><br><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">What’s stood out isn’t just the work itself, but how teams have approached it. School teams and Support Services have been working side by side—reviewing files, asking questions, and making changes together. There’s been a real shift toward shared ownership, where this isn’t seen as one person’s job, but something we all have a role in.</span><br><br><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">It’s also created space for honest reflection. Not everything is perfect—and that’s okay. The focus has been on improving practice so that what we are doing to support students is clear, consistent, and easy to understand for everyone, including families.</span></p>

<p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">One of the ways we’ve been building collective responsibility within Support Services is by being intentional about how we start our time together.</span><br><br><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">At each staff meeting, we begin with “greatness and gratitude” — taking a few minutes to share the schools we’ve been working in and the positive impacts we’re seeing. It’s a simple practice, but it keeps us grounded in why we do this work and reminds us that we are all contributing to something bigger than our individual roles.</span><br><br><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Alongside this, the mock audit process has brought teams together in a really meaningful way. School teams and Support Services staff have been working side by side—reviewing, reflecting, and making improvements together. There’s been a clear shift toward shared ownership, where supporting students is not left to one person, but is truly a collective effort.</span><br><br><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">This combination of reflection, gratitude, and shared work is helping to build a culture where people feel connected, supported, and responsible for the success of all students—not just those directly on their caseload.</span></p>

With Superintendent Lenardon’ s direction of reduce and recycle for decorating, we were successful, with many staff sharing their Halloween decorations - even shredded paper was put to use. It was so much fun to see the 200+ costumes and smiles, especially when they received a sticker, mini candy, marshmallow bananas, and a full sized banana - to fit the theme!! Yes we fit fruit into the Halloween fun.

<p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Cataline Elementary school staff started off the year in a good way, taking our first day together outdoors and setting the foundation for a year of "Walking Together".
