The York Catholic District School Board would like to continue to focus efforts on generating greater awareness of the Board’s Mission and Vision Statements, Core Values and Strategic Commitments. To assist with this, we would like to invite students/classes to participate in a Short Video Contest: How We Witness YCDSB’s Multi-Year Strategic Plan in our School.
The short video could address:
- How We Witness YCDSB’s Mission Statement,
- How We Witness YCDSB’s Vision Statement,
- How We Witness YCDSB’s Core Values,
- How We Witness YCDSB’s Strategic Commitments,
- or a combination of all four of the above pillars that form the framework of our MYSP.
Winning videos (1st, 2nd, 3rd place in elementary and 1st, 2nd, 3rd place in secondary) will be announced during Catholic Education Week (May 1- 5, 2017). Winning videos will be used by the Board for purposes of promoting its MYSP.
