Stride Forward Boldly

Strategic Plan 2022-2027

More than 85 years after it was composed, Non Nobis Solum, our school song, remains a timeless testament to the sense of belonging and pride that we share as a community. The title, which is Latin for Not for Ourselves Alone, has been our long-standing motto, and the powerful lyrics have unified us throughout our history.

It is therefore fitting that we draw our inspiration from one line of those meaningful words — stride forward boldly — as we commit to our strategic vision for 2022–2027.

And bold we must be, if we are to effectively prepare our students for their futures in a rapidly evolving world.

With a deep-rooted focus on global-mindedness and a dedication to continuous improvement as reflected in our mission, vision, and values, we assume this responsibility both humbly and with determination. Now is the time to move forward with confidence, courage and purpose. This is how our students will become changemakers in their communities and beyond, and empowered to be the leaders of tomorrow.

Explore the pillars, priorities and initiatives of the plan, and join us in our efforts to push boundaries and shape the school for the next generation of LCC students.

Here is a brief description of the four pillars that will be our focus for the next five years. For details about the priorities and initiatives contained within each of these pillars, please visit lcc.ca/StrideForwardBoldly.

PILLAR 1

Community and Belonging

We believe that the best way to help students thrive and prepare for their futures is by immersing them in an environment that is reflective of the diverse and complex world in which they live. With our commitment to authentic learning, we cultivate relationships and a sense of community and belonging where we celebrate differences, so that all members feel connected, supported, and valued for their perspectives and contributions.

PILLAR 2

Thriving Workplace

Outstanding faculty, supported by dedicated administrators and staff, are foundational to the success of our school and students. Our professional development and growth programs help our talented and passionate teachers and personnel deliver on our promise to guide students in realizing their full potential. We strive to be an employer of first-choice and a community of excellence serving students and families.

PILLAR 3

Environmental Action

Environmental action is a moral imperative. As citizens of the world, we recognize that modelling green practices is our responsibility and central to ensuring the health of our planet and humanity. Leading by example, we further our commitment to minimizing the environmental footprint of our operations and activities, and to making a positive difference. We are determined to do better no matter the challenge. We empower students by providing them with the awareness and skills they need to be leaders in the drive towards a sustainable global community.

PILLAR 4

A Bold Tomorrow

We are bold in our plan for the future and imagine an educational experience that will benefit the next generation of LCC students. We dream of access to all, and dedicate ourselves to growing our endowment so that one day this vision becomes a reality. By exploring transformational options to enhance our community and programs, we lay the groundwork for long-term financial sustainability and operational excellence.
