Strategic Plan
Our strategic plan reflects our purpose and vision focusing on excellence, innovation, and unity.
The 2024-2026 Strategic Plan was created through a collaborative process involving the entire school community. It is grounded in our values of wonder, love and courage. The plan prioritises excellence in learning, innovation, and strengthening our Lutheran identity while fostering community connections.
Creating our 2024-2026 Strategic Plan for St. John’s Lutheran School was a thoughtful and collaborative process that involved everyone in our community.
We started by reviewing our previous strategic goals in late 2023 with the School Board and teaching staff identifying the priorities that still deeply resonated.
At the beginning of 2024, we conducted a comprehensive Health Check survey, where students, parents, board members, and staff shared their experiences and perspectives.
This survey, based on the Growing Deep – Leadership and Formation Framework, gave us valuable insights into our strengths, challenges, and opportunities.
With everyone’s input, we carefully analysed the survey results, bringing together the hopes and dreams of our community. This collaborative process led to the creation of our renewed Strategic Plan for the next three years.
Our plan not only addresses our unique challenges but also celebrates our strengths and embraces new opportunities.
As we implement this plan, we do so with purpose and unity, knowing that each step forward is grounded in our shared commitment to empowering each child to flourish and embrace the world with wonder, love, and courage.
