The Waterloo Catholic District School Board (WCDSB) is committed to being the Heart of the Community, providing Success for Each and A Place for All. As we reflect on the implementation of our current Multi-Year Strategic Plan (MYSP) (2022–2025), we are also beginning the important work of developing a new plan to guide our priorities in the years ahead.

We are inviting staff, parents, guardians, caregivers and community members to complete a single, combined survey that will support both reflection and renewal. This survey includes two parts:

  • Part One assesses our progress on the current MYSP (2022–2025)
  • Part Two gathers input to help shape our next MYSP for 2025 and beyond

Why Your Input Matters

Your feedback will help us:

  • Evaluate the impact of our current MYSP
  • Identify emerging priorities and shared values
  • Develop a renewed strategic plan that reflects the needs and aspirations of the WCDSB community

Survey responses will be reviewed to identify key themes that will support recommendations and decision-making by the Board of Trustees and senior leadership.

Survey Details

  • Open from: May 1 to May 23, 2025
  • Estimated time to complete: 10–15 minutes
  • Who may participate: Parents/guardians, caregivers, Trustees, Parish members, Faith-based partners, and community members (one response per person)
  • Participation: Voluntary and anonymous

You may exit the survey at any time. Responses are not connected to your name or school, and you will not be asked to provide any identifying information. Please do not include the names of individuals in your responses. Once submitted, responses cannot be changed.

All responses will be compiled into a summary report. To protect privacy, results will be shared in aggregate only, and small groups (fewer than 10 participants) will not be identified in any reporting.

The survey is administered by WCDSB in alignment with the Education Act, Section 169.1, and in accordance with the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (MFIPPA s.28(2)) to support the development of our MYSP. The results will be analyzed by facilitators at Maximum City and reported in summary form to the Board of Trustees and senior staff.
