ECACS Thought for the Day
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
-Mathew 6:21- Our Education Reports
Our Three Year Plan
The Education Plan for the three years commencing September 1, 2004,
was prepared under the direction of the East Central Alberta Catholic
Separate Schools Regional Division No. 16 Board in accordance with the
responsibilities specified in the School Act, Government Accountability
Act, the School Authority Accountability Policy, and the provincial
government’s accounting policies. The board also sees its mandate to
flow from the parents of its students and from the Church.
The priorities outlined in this Education Plan were developed within the
context of the provincial government’s business and fiscal plans. The
Board is committed to achieving the planned results laid out in this plan.

Ron Lindsay
The August 22 Maclean's magazine profiled Canada's best schools and the top Canadian Principals and teachers.
Blessed Sacrament Outreach School was picked as one of the ten best high schools in Canada, and Ron Lindsay is one of three top Canadian principals profiled in this edition.
The ECACS board wanted to nominate Ron for a provincial Alberta Excellence in Teaching Award, but since he won this award in 1990 he was not eligible.
When Superintendent Valerie Burgardt was sent the Maclean's survey and nomination forms in February, for profiling best practices in education (which was sent to every school division in Canada), she nominated the BSS Outreach School with Ron as principal. Over 1,000 letters were sent in from all across the nation.
In mid May Maclean's called Ron and said they wanted to profile the school and sent out a reporter in June.
They interviewed me and a couple of my students. The reporter had just come from Old Scona and Jasper Place High School in Edmonton, and I am sure he noticed a difference here, Ron commented.
Karen Marley, a Maclean's reporter, phoned and told him that some incredible things were said by his colleagues and students.
After receiving this distinction, many people in the community called and emailed him offering their congratulations. Some people I haven't seen for 15-20 years have called. It's kind of neat. Ron noted.
Comments from students included, He gives you the space to be person, not the clone you're expected to be at a normal school (alicia Beswick), and He's not like some of teachers, where as soon as you walk in, they are cussing you for not doing your homework (Ty Miller).
Its pretty shocking - a huge surprise to be nominated, and a shock to be profiled in Maclean's magazine, he concluded.
The Macleans's article noted that over 80 percent of the students at the Blessed Sacrament Outreach School earn their high school diploma, yet what pleases Ron most is seeing the students blossom as individuals.
