Message from the Director of Education In December, 2011, Eastern School District approved a three-year strategic planning process which centered on developing our schools as caring, professional and purposeful places of learning and excellence. This school report for 2011-2012 highlights the activities of your school and your efforts to achieve your school-based goals, in keeping with the District’s mission and its vision for the future. The information provided is very helpful as we continue to pursue excellence for our District through a planning process which emphasizes continued professional growth and development. I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate each school on the success achieved to date as evidenced by this report. I acknowledge, with gratitude, the efforts of our teachers, administrators, support staff, parents and community representatives, particularly through schools councils. By working together, we can achieve the best possible learning environment for our students. I encourage you to dialogue with our stakeholders on this document and on our District objectives. As we move forward with our new Strategic Plan (2011-2014), I look forward to your continued support and cooperation in the achievement of the specific goals and objectives listed in this plan. Keep up the good work! Sincerely, BRUCE VEY, PhD CEO/DIRECTOR OF EDUCATION /ms

Principal’s Message It is with pleasure that I present the annual School Report for Mobile Central High 2011-2012. This report outlines the current profile of our school and provides information about staffing, population trends, provincial testing, and special school functions. This year was the final year of our current School Development Plan. We continued to make progress in our school goals, to improve student achievement and to make our school a healthier, safer and caring one. Students’ academic program was strongly supported by the school’s Guidance Counselor and the Special Services team. During the 2012-2013 school year our school will go through our second school development process. We will conduct an internal review of our school to help shape our plans for the next 3 to 4 years. An external review, by our peers, will also be conducted to gather further data to help guide our plan. We continued to work with our academically at risk students to help them achieve to the best of their ability. This process provided consultation between school and home to help our students reach their potential. This year saw further building of a positive, school-community relationship. Our teachers and volunteers continue to provide our students with a very enriching co-curricular and extra-curricular program allowing students to showcase their talents and reach their goals. I am pleased to report that all staff supports the co-curricular programs as a compliment to our academic efforts. On behalf of the Administrative team, I would like to extend my thanks and appreciation to the school development team, and the entire staff for the time and effort they have given to this process in order to provide a quality education for our students. Please take the time to read over this report. We are committed to providing the best possible learning opportunities for our students. Your continued support and involvement will assist us greatly in this regard. Thank you for your supporting us in the education of your children. Dave Locke, B.A., B.ED., M.ED Principal

School Council Message Changes and challenges are taking place every day in society. Everyday we witness changes such as technological, multi-media, and communication advances. These changes are very evident when we look at our school system. As Ruby Hoskins, President of School Councils in Newfoundland stated in her presidents message (Sept,2012 The Cuffer) “School Councils are a valuable and vital part …of the education system…. They are a dedicated group of volunteers, ready to assemble and take on challenges and issues, as it relates to individual schools, a champion a cause to make school better for all its students” “ All stakeholders in education have a shared commitment to provide all students with a quality education and the skills and resources to fulfill their dreams.” School Councils play an integral role in working with the school to make it the best it can be to ensure that we have the necessary resources to ensure that ALL students succeed. As I indicated in last years report I have been involved as a parent representative, and now chair of the Mobile Central High School ( MCHS) school council. The school council is a legally constituted body that provides the opportunity for me to work collaboratively with the principal, other parents, teachers, community representatives and students to enhance the quality of school programs and increase the levels of student achievement. I strongly encourage individuals to become involved in their school council and become an active participant in the local school and children’s education The School Council as it operated in the 2011-2012 school year had 10 members and met for eight meetings. The school council was challenged with a change in administration part way through the school year but quickly adjusted and had a very successful year. Highlights worth mentioning from this year is the tireless work that the liaison school council representatives play with the High School pre-graduation preparation. Thank you has to go out to Mrs. Debbie Williams for another successful year. This is Debbie’s last year on school council and her involvement will be greatly missed. The council also had significant involvement with the Awards Night and the grade 12 Graduation ceremony. Feedback from all involved with the cap and gown ceremony and the school ceremony indicated the decision to separate these awards was a good decision that highlighted the graduating class in a special and memorable way and supported the academic achievements of the rest of the school in a positive manner. The school council also had a joint meeting with the St. Bernard’s school council to discuss concerns regarding growing enrollment. A subcommittee was struck to specifically look at the issue and they met in June, 2012.

Once again it was a busy and productive school year. As a parent who has been involved with school council I can say that I find involvement in school council a rewarding experience. We all have a role to play in our children’s education and we all need to be involved. I strongly advocate that parents, community leaders, students and school staff become involved in council. All stakeholders have a role in making schools the best place for all students to succeed. School Council Membership 2011-2012 On behalf of your School Council I would like to acknowledge and thank the staff, students, and school community for their continued support. As a school council we will continue to work with the school and the District to develop and encourage all students to be the best they can be in a supportive and respectful environment.

School Development Plan for Current Year School Development Plan 2012-13 During the 2012-13 school year the staff of Mobile Central High will continue with its initiatives from the 2011-12 school year. These initiatives will focus on the following goals: 1. To continue to promote a safe, caring, healthy, active, learning environment 2. To continue to improve student achievement

However, since the 2012-13 school year is the first year for a new School Development phase, the primary focus for the staff and its School Development Leadership team will be to engage in both an internal and external review. Once this process is completed, in the Spring of 2013, a 3 to 4 year plan will be developed that will commence in September of 2013 and take the school through the next 3 to 4 years.
