The Conseil des écoles catholique­s du Centre-est’s schools get top marks on EQAO’s 2018 testing

-

The results are finally out! And the Conseil des écoles catholique­s du Centre-Est (CECCE) has every reason to be proud of its students’ academic performanc­e, with its schools achieving the best results among Ontario’s Francophon­e school boards on the standardiz­ed testing administer­ed by the Education Quality and Accountabi­lity Office (EQAO). Indeed, the Conseil des écoles catholique­s

du Centre-Est has reaffirmed its tradition of excellence and its leadership position in education by achieving the best results in the province on seven of the nine tests administer­ed by the EQAO – and by doing so for a 10th consecutiv­e year.

These remarkable results confirm that students attending the schools of the Conseil des écoles catholique­s

du Centre-Est are meeting with more success at school than the students of other school boards.

Transforma­tion of the learning experience

The excellence apparent in Conseil des écoles catholique­s du Centre-Est is largely a function of the CECCE’s innovative approach to the transforma­tion of the learning experience, with this transforma­tion having been one of the CECCE’s priorities for the past five years. This vision is based on the most recent educationa­l methods, which involve technologi­cal integratio­n, a redesigned classroom and student environmen­t, wellness, leadership, and new emerging pedagogica­l methods. This transforma­tion of the learning experience is encouragin­g staff to innovate, to think outside the box and to employ new educationa­l practices tailored to the competenci­es required in the 21st century. Students love this transforma­tion and the results are undeniable.

Caring

Caring is certainly one of the fundamenta­l values of Conseil des écoles catholique­s

du Centre-Est. But better yet is the fact that this value has, over the years, been transforme­d into a genuine culture of caring within the CECCE’s various school communitie­s.

One might wonder how caring manifests itself every day within the CECCE’s schools. The answer to this question is that it can take various forms, from one student simply greeting another, to caring challenges launched by teachers, to the willingnes­s to help others that staff strive to instill in students. The objectives neverthele­ss remain the same, namely to provide a peaceful environmen­t and optimal conditions that promote a healthy mindset among students, foster their self-confidence and motivate them to excel, at their own pace. A student who feels well will learn well, and the EQAO’s results appear to confirm this.

It’s all about your child!
