An examination of data from the Student Learning Survey, student achievement data and input from the school staff has led Burnsview to the following inquiry question.

“How can school be made accessible such that it leads to learner success?”

During the 2024-25 school year, Burnsview is in the process of creating a 3-year growth plan that focuses on Learner Success for the 2025-2028 school years. This process started with students completing two surveys in order to establish baseline data. The first survey asked students to respond to the question, “How many adults at school believe you will be successful in life?”

The second survey asked students to self-report on the following:

● students’ peer connections

● learner self-confidence

● supportive and caring adults at school

● attendance and punctuality patterns

● mental wellness

● study habits

● engagement in student learning by a trusted adult

● access to technology

● Involvement in extracurricular activities

In consultation with school staff, Burnsview’s Delta Youth Advisory Council students and the Burnsview Parent Advisory Committee, further analysis of the data from this survey is required in order to determine specific areas of growth while paying particular attention to supporting the learning of students from priority learning groups (learners with diverse abilities, learners of Indigenous Ancestry, English Language Learners).
