Welcome to the PVNC Catholic Multi-Year Strategic Plan (MYSP) Engagement Project

Every three to five years, Ontario school boards are required under the Education Act to develop a Multi-Year Strategic Plan (MYSP)—a roadmap that guides decision-making and ensures accountability in delivering high-quality Catholic education.

At PVNC Catholic, strategic planning is more than a requirement—it’s an opportunity to strengthen our faith-based learning community and set clear priorities for student success, staff well-being, and community engagement. Through this plan, we will:

✔ Set priorities that align with our mission and vision
✔ Guide planning and decision-making for budgeting and educational programs
✔ Focus energy and resources to maximize impact
✔ Ensure alignment among staff, partners, and stakeholders toward common goals

Most importantly, strategic planning serves as a roadmap for our organization, guiding us in our mission to nurture faith-based learning and student success. Rooted in Catholic values, it helps us focus on key priorities over the next three to five years, ensuring our schools remain places where all students can grow in knowledge, faith, and well-being.


How This Process Works

The engagement process is divided into two phases:

  • Phase 1: Exploring Themes (Current)
    We are gathering broad, open-ended feedback to understand what matters most to our community. Your responses will help us identify key themes, values, and strategic priorities.
    Your feedback in Phase 1 will directly shape the key themes we focus on in Phase 2. Make sure your voice is heard by sharing your thoughts today!

  • Phase 2: Refining & Prioritizing (Coming Soon)
    Based on the feedback from Phase 1, we will refine the key themes and ask stakeholders to rank priorities to ensure they reflect the community’s needs.

How to Get Involved

There are multiple ways to take part in shaping the future of PVNC Catholic:

✅ Phase 1: Share Your Voice – Complete the Phase 1 consultation below to tell us what matters most. Your insights will help us identify key priorities for the future.

✅ Attend a Town Hall – Join an in-person session to engage in discussion with colleagues, parents/guardians, and community members. Town Halls provide an opportunity to collaborate in small-group discussions, reflect on key priorities, and contribute ideas in a guided conversation.

✅ Phase 2: Help Set Priorities – Once we’ve gathered initial feedback, you’ll have the chance to rank priorities in Phase 2 to ensure we focus on what matters most to our community.

✅ Stay Engaged – Follow this page for updates, upcoming events, and opportunities to continue shaping the MYSP.

The Phase 1 consultation survey is available below. We invite you to share your thoughts!
