Our Mission Statement 

• All students and staff can be life-long learners. Parents and teachers together, inspire children’s desire to learn and motivation to be successful.
• All students are unique, as are all staff members. Together, we are the product of our experiences and our opportunities. As a result, we all have different interests, goals, values, knowledge, and perspectives. Our school values every student and staff member as an individual. We endeavor to demonstrate respect, and to acknowledge the rich variety of skills and expertise that each brings.
• Students learn by doing, so do all staff. Schools need to provide opportunities for students and staff to take ownership of their learning. They need to have some input into decisions that affect them and need to know why they are undertaking tasks. Opportunities for discovering and making connections must be part of the organization for learning. Improvement in language and thought are the keys to progress in all areas. 

Sir Alexander Mackenzie School’s Mandate
Students deserve adult models around them who are committed to high quality education for today's world and for the future, so do all staff. Everything said or done by staff sends a message that says, "We believe in you. We believe education is important. What we do in this school really matters. We will work to help you be successful. We expect you to do your part by caring for others, respecting yourself, and doing the very best you can.”

In our commitment to public education, and to maximize student potential,

We believe that . . .

• each student is entitled to a quality education,
• each student is unique,
• each student has worth and dignity,
• each student has rights and responsibilities,
• each student is entitled to equity of educational opportunity,
• we must be responsive to the needs of our community,
• we must practice participative decision making.

Sir Alexander Mackenzie School’s Priority Areas 
In addition to maintaining outstanding academic success, Sir Alexander Mackenzie School and our stakeholder groups have chosen to focus on three priority areas:

• Evolve our school-wide Pro Social Skills Program to enhance the overall well-being of students and staff.
• Develop innovative approaches to learning, such as the integration of technology in learning to support all aspects of the curriculum.
• Provide professional development opportunities for technology, Healthy Interactions, and support of individual staff professional goals.
