Report from the Governance Committee Structure The Chair of this Committee is Dr. Daniel Gouws. Committee members for the term were Mr. John Becker, Mr. Gareth Mason, Mr. Gordon MacIntyre and Mr. Hugh Burke regularly attending. I would like to thank them all for their valuable input and hard work during the year. Policies relating to Board of Governance issues:
We started off the year with Mr. Gareth Mason, our new Board member joining the Governance Committee, and spearheading our Policy Sub-Committee, which has made progress in formalizing and reviewing policy and protocols for the Board of Governors.
Constitutional and legal matters:
We continued with the review of the Bylaws of the Meadowridge School Society, a process that was started in the previous term. This was a long and tedious task, and I would like to thank Mr. John Becker, Chairman of the Board for his significant input and research into this matter. The proposed Bylaw changes were sent out to the members of the School Society provoking considerable interest. The planned Extraordinary General Meeting for approval of the proposed Bylaw changes did take place but it was determined that it would be appropriate to allow more time for a dialogue with the membership and a motion to adopt the new Bylaws. A second motion accepted for the Governance Committee to adjourn this topic to the Annual General Meeting set for September 23, 2009. In the interim the Board’s Communication Committee is implementing a process for dialogue with families so that the intent of the Bylaw changes can be clarified, and so that concerns can be addressed and shared for discussion. We feel confident that we now have relevant and up to date Bylaws that will serve the Society well.
Review of Board structures, CESI accreditation:
Meadowridge is undergoing a Canadian Educational Standards Institute (CESI) evaluation this year. CESI has created different standards and effective practices that they believe all great schools should have. It was our task to address the standards that specifically speaks to Governance. The standard Governance is broken into 10 effective practice sections with questions to answer for each one. One of the goals of the CESI accreditation process is for it to be used authentically as a school improvement document, which
22
added considerable value to this exercise. Therefore, it was important to note our areas of strength as well as focus on the ones that need improving.
Evaluation of the Head of the School:
Considerable work went into crafting a Head Evaluation Process (as part of the Head Evaluation and Support function), and we are very thankful for the input from Mr. Gordon McIntyre in this regard. After various models of assessment were reviewed we finally decided to create our own document and process which included the strategic planning goals for the Headmaster, as well as making use of existing evaluation instruments. The Head Evaluation and Support Committee have subsequently met with the Headmaster, and have found this a very useful process and dialogue, which will now be used on an ongoing basis.
Table of Contents
Annual Board Evaluation:
We have adopted the practice of reviewing and discussing the individual chapters in the International Trustee Handbook, at monthly Board meetings throughout the school year, both to stimulate discussion of a Board’s current practices and to motivate Board members to familiarize themselves with the corresponding chapters in the handbook. The idea was to transform the concept of “Board training” from a once-a-year, isolated event into an accepted and valuable item on the Board’s monthly agenda. This process was then expanded to include and implement a strategic Board assessment process, which will be ongoing. Dr. Daniel R Gouws Chair of the Governance Committee

The Board’s decisions and long-term vision for Meadowridge are guided by the strategic plan for the school, which is revised on an ongoing basis. An important aspect of the Board’s mandate is the clear distinction made between its governance role and the operational role of the Headmaster and his staff. The Board of Governors are the guardians of our future, providing strategic advice while focusing on the long-term well-being of the school.

In 2009, Meadowridge School forged ahead with its plans of excellence in all aspects of school life. One of the most important achievements of the year was accomplished with little fanfare at the end of the school year. I am very pleased to announce that the services of Mr. Hugh Burke as our headmaster have been secured for another seven years. Mr. Burke’s internal and external achievements would require the full annual report to detail and celebrate. It will have to suffice here to say, our school’s commitment to excellence has been guaranteed. The Board of Governors continues to work diligently on the current issues and strategic planning of the school. Meadowridge School is fortunate to have such a great team at its helm. It has been my pleasure to work with them over the past year. I am pleased to report that we have for the first time in some years the full return of all of the existing Governors. I would particularly like to thank Dr. Michael Orser as Past Chair for his continued friendship and mentorship. It was during Dr. Orser’s many years as Chair of the Board that our financial stability and commitment to excellence were assured. In 2008, the Board of Governors approved a new Strategic Plan. In 2009, through the facilitation of Governor Mr. Mike Jahraus, the Board of Governors together with the senior administration team began to build a Strategic Financial Plan to prudently cost, prioritize, and budget the Strategic Plan initiatives required to keep Meadowridge School as one of the finest schools in the world. The Strategic Financial Plan will be in place during the 2009/2010 school year.
Our larger fundraising and friend-raising projects (the Welcome Back Fair, Gala and Golf Tournament) were again great successes. Increasing the sense of community within the school is hugely important and thanks go out to the many volunteers who made these projects the successes they were. Updating the Bylaws of the Meadowridge School Society remains a consultative work in progress. The Board will have the changes completed over the summer months with the final draft ready to be put to the Annual General Meeting in September 2009. Lastly, but most importantly, our children continue to excel at all levels. Our academic achievements continue at a very high level while at the same time fine arts, athletics, and community service prepare our children to be citizens of the world when they graduate. This would not be possible without the dedication of our wonderful educators and administration - they cannot be thanked enough. Mr. John Becker Chairman of the Board
The Board of Governors will be embarking upon an Advancement Strategic Plan in 2009/2010. Together with the creation of a formal Alumni Association the Advancement Strategic Plan will bring together the past and current members of the school community to support strategic initiatives and capital plans.

Report from the Finance Committee
Meadowridge School
Message from the Headmaster
Mr. Hugh Burke, Headmaster
6
The 2008/2009 school year was a very successful and productive one, both academically and institutionally. Our enrolment climbed again, and we were glad to welcome many new students, who joined our community of wellrounded and highly achieving students. Once again, all of our graduates were accepted to post-secondary institutes, both in Canada and around the world, and were offered hundreds of thousands of dollars in scholarships. We continued to post outstanding measures of success in government exams at grades four, seven, ten, eleven and twelve, leading the province in academic achievement. Our grade five and ten students completed, respectively, their final year of PYP and MYP, and also completed independent and publicly demonstrated individual projects, of which they can be proud.
Structure The Chair of this Committee is Mrs. Kelly Fry. The other members of the Committee are Treasurer Mr. Mike Jahraus, Governor Mr. Bruce Johnston, and Mr. Mike Schutz has joined as a member at large, approved by the Board of Governors. Administration is represented by the Business Manager Mr. Don Hincks and Controller Ms. Julie Bournival. Functions The role of the Finance Committee is to provide advice and oversight of the budget and strategic financial plan prepared by Administration for the Treasurer and the Board of Governors. The Committee is concerned with the long-term benefit to the school in all financial matters, including property acquisition. They are also responsible for drafting financial policies for Board consideration and approval.
Accomplishments In collaboration with the Administration and the Board of Governors, the Committee has participated in the following: The Finance Committee was pleased to see the transition of the banking and financing to the Bank of Montreal as approved in last summer’s extra-ordinary general meeting. As a result of the move there has been substantial interest savings particularly due to the low interest rates on the variable components of our current debt structure. The Finance Committee, in conjunction with other board members and staff members, worked to quantify the cost of implementing the goals and objectives as outlined in the strategic plan. The Finance Committee, with the administration, has continued to monitor the school’s cash reserves for the Meadowridge Education Investment Deposit Funds and for major facility improvements or maintenance. Our financial comparatives continue to be among the best in the country and are helping us to establish financial stability. During the year the Committee and the Board reviewed comparative financial data from independent schools across Canada provided as part of an annual survey done by CAIS. Revenues were in excess of expenses again this past fiscal year, despite lower than expected fundraising. A higher than projected student count generated revenue in excess of budgeted amounts.
Goals Now that we have completed the 5 year Financial Plan, we will be working with Administration to determine how we will be able to fund the implementation of the high priority objectives. We will continue to work with the Business Manager and the Administration to develop improved reporting to assist the Board and Committee members. We will provide ongoing support and recommendations in conjunction with the Facilities Committee with regards to the acquisition of neighbouring land and properties. We will offer solutions to hedge the school from rising costs and inflation through investments and additional revenue sources. We will continue to prepare policy recommendations regarding the ongoing financial requirements including cash reserves, signing authorizations, approvals for variance levels, etc. We will provide an ongoing review with the Administration regarding the current accounting software and the school’s insurance coverage and risk procedures. Mrs. Kelly Fry Chair of the Finance Committee
The Finance Committee, in consultation with the Board and Administration, approved a 7% tuition increase to cover most of the school’s operating costs and keep pace with the increase in teaching salaries.

Meadowridge School
Celebrating Excellence Our halls were overflowing with outstanding student art work, which indicated that our children have developed wonderful visual literacy, and are able to express nuanced thought through a dynamic and growing visual and graphic vocabulary, which is growing in importance and use due to the growth of digital communication. This visual literacy is enhanced through the growing use of personal computers from about grade five on; in fact, it is because of this growing use that the school has now mandated the purchase and use of computers from grade six and up for next year. We have also moved to become one of few schools in Canada to be a licensed Microsoft IT Academy, which will provide great opportunities for our children in years to come. The digital revolution may be changing the landscape of learning and business, but things such as confidence, interpersonal skills, focus, courage, and imagination continue to be foundations upon which our children can build, and are brought out not only in academic classes, but also, and importantly, through the performing arts and athletics. As I noted last year, we are building our athletic program consciously over five years, and last year was the first of those building years. I am pleased to note that our teams have done very well this past year - notably in soccer, water polo, and basketball - and we will continue to build on these emerging strengths. We continue to push for even greater participation, and for greater achievement. Our performing arts programs this year have been exceptional in number and quality, and include performances at each IB level, each of which was terrific for the development of our children, and terrific entertainment. Our graduation students provided our first rock opera - RENT - as well as a remarkably enjoyable production of "The Comedy of Errors". Both stretched our students to do their best work, and both incorporated dramatic risks, excellent acting, and top production values. The musical quality of RENT was also outstanding. The MYP production of "Into the Woods" was also just excellent, as was the PYP production of "Pirates". In addition, the many musical nights, concerts, and productions enhanced our community, provided enjoyable evenings, and developed our children well.
Meadowridge School has come a long way in a few short years. We have built a school that is safe, caring, warm, and one that provides our students with opportunities to take risks and shape their own futures.
18
This year was the first full year of occupying our new facility, and the whole community enjoyed the wonderful spaces, facilities, and programs that can now be offered. We also enlarged the library, doubled the size of our fitness facility, added another athletic area on the old stage, and enjoyed the hugely expanded parking lot. Notably, we are now completing the final stages of our campus plan by adding a new, full-sized lit field. Our children are eagerly anticipating being able to use this sand-based natural grass field, which will now provide the space for all of our teams to practice and to play games.
Our teaching staff has done a wonderful job for us in the past, and I am pleased that all will be returning, except for those who were only hired to fill in during a maternity leave. Our administrative team has also done a great job this past year. I am also pleased to note that at the time of writing this report - early August - it appears that our school will open with another record number of students. Given the difficult economic times, this is a testament to the commitment of our parents and children, as well as to the value provided by our school. This coming year, we will welcome an arms-length criteriabased accreditation by the Canadian Educational Standards Association (CESI), which is highly regarded both nationally and internationally. We have worked all this year to prepare a description of everything in our school, and, in November, a team of about twelve educators from across Canada will spend seven days going through our school, interviewing parents and students and alumni and teachers and Board members and - well, everybody. They will go through our policies and practices, examine our facilities, look at our finances and admissions, and review our academic and co-curricular programs. At the end of that week, they will gather to write an extensive report which will be provided to our Board, outlining strengths and any areas of concern, and providing recommendations. We are anticipating this eagerly, as it will be a chance to really look at our school in depth, and make it even better. Currently, only three schools in B.C. are, like us, members of CESI, and it is just another external indicator of quality for our parents and our Board. As well, we have also spent the past year preparing for two other external accreditations by the International Baccalaureate Association (IB) which will also happen in the next eighteen months. Finally, I would like to take a moment to thank our Board members, all of whom have devoted many, many hours to ensuring the quality and health of our school. The quality of an independent school is directly attributable to the quality of its Board. We are fortunate to have an excellent one, and so I think that our school is in very capable hands. I also want to especially note the commitment, skill, and ability of our Board Chair, John Becker. To be a Board Chair is a demanding and often thankless task, and John - in his first year as Board Chair - has demonstrated both the humility and ability which characterize outstanding Chairs. Thank you, Mr. Becker. Mr. Hugh Burke Headmaster

Report from the Advancement Committee
Report from the Facilities Committee Structure
In a year of economic uncertainty we are fortunate our Meadowridge families rallied to maintain our philanthropic culture. Without volunteers, gifts in kind and monetary donations Meadowridge could not remain one of the top schools of our nation.
The Chair of this Committee is Dr. Diana Germain. The Advancement Committee consisted of Dr. Ockie Lampen, Mr. Scott Park and Mrs. Susan Waugh as well as Administration representatives Mrs. Lyn Tyler, Mrs. Kalie Whitaker and Mr. Sandy Wakeling. The school’s committed Headmaster, Mr. Hugh Burke supported us routinely. We were grateful to have Mrs. Sue Leighton with us every month to take minutes. Thank you all for your valuable time and insight. This past year our Gala committee consisted of a remarkable group of volunteers. They were able to corral more individual sponsorships and ticket sales than ever. The atmosphere and entertainment were extraordinary. This single event raised $77,000 for our children. I am pleased that many families have taken advantage and have purchased their tickets to next year’s Gala along with their re-registration. It is bound to be another spectacular event and time to connect with other families of the school. The golf tournaments, chaired by parent volunteer Brent Perry, soared to new heights. All targets were not only met but exceeded. The tournament sold out for the first time since its conception and the participants were showered with food and drinks from the numerous sponsorship tents. The event was a remarkable community builder and raised an incredible $35,000 for the school.
Annual Giving campaign then we will be able to meet the needs of our children. I am pleased with the advances of the school and thank each and every one of you that do their part to raise Meadowridge to new heights. Dr. Diana Germain Chair of Advancement
The Chair of this committee is Dr. Ockie Lampen. The other members of the Committee are Mr. Rajindar Singh, Mrs. Cindy Gallagher, Mr. Terry Jung, Mr. Steve Olah, Mr. Don Hincks, Mr. Denis Saltel, Mr. Scott Spurgeon, Ms. Julie Bournival, Mrs. Colette Roussy, Mrs. Lyn Tyler and Mr. Hugh Burke. Meadowridge School was started on a five acre rental property. The building was 18,000 sq. feet of prefabricated modular units. There were 85 students from Kindergarten to grade 9 with 12 teachers. Over the years we have expanded to add a double gym, library, MYP area and the latest expansion to add a cafeteria, theatre, kitchen, additional classrooms and administration offices is now complete and the school is now just under 106,000 sq. feet. We now have over 500 students in grades Junior Kindergarten to grade 12. At the present time, we are completing a 110 x 60 yard playing field to the east of the school. This area will include a multisports area. Around the field, there will be natural berms for bleachers and lighting so the field can be used in the evening.
In the past year, the Committee had to budget for some major upgrades and repairs. At the present time, the area of concern is the roof above the PYP art room and library and this will be repaired over the summer. The roof over the primary building will have to be repaired in the coming years. The boiler and water tank in the primary area also needs replacement over the next few years. This year we are pleased to say that we completed the CESI accreditation report and the Board Facility Committee joined with the Internal Facilities Committee to form a joint committee. Dr. Ockie Lampen Chair of the Facilities Committee
The Facilities Committee plans to complete improvement to security around the campus for the students. Electronic entrance, exit and pedestrian gates have been installed. Entry doors were equipped with electronic locks and we now have the ability to program the gates and key scan cards for access. Security beams were added to all outside areas as well as external buildings and twenty cameras were also installed around the school to monitor the property at all times.
The retention of our donors for our Capital campaign remains high and their on-going pledges continue steadily, donations in excess of $160,000 were received. That being said, Annual Giving was the only fundraising campaign that actively sought support this year. Annual Giving raised $51,042.50. It was wonderful to see many families that have never given to any of our campaigns initiate the process. The school depends heavily on donations. If everyone can support the school’s

The Gala On Saturday, February 28th our Cirque des Arts themed gala came to life, showcasing the breadth of talent within our community of students, parents and teachers. During tough economic times the best a community can do is to come together to laugh and sing and dance and perform – and this is just what we did, like never before. This year’s event will be remembered as “one of the best parties ever.”

This year’s Drive Fore the Future Golf Tournament was held on Friday, June 12th. Taking a bit of risk, as most leaders do, Brent Perry and his committee shifted gears and moved the event from its traditional Sunday date to a Friday, hoping that the move to a week-day would allow for greater business community participation. The risk was well worth it - as for the first time ever, the tournament sold out weeks before the event. Prolific sponsorships made sure that fun activities or food and beverage tents were available at each hole. Congratulations to Brent Perry and his team for organizing one of the finest and the most successful tournaments yet.

Capital Campaign Our Capital Campaign has completed its third year and is steadfastly bringing in financial support for the expansion project.

Report from the Advancement Committee
Report from the Facilities Committee Structure
In a year of economic uncertainty we are fortunate our Meadowridge families rallied to maintain our philanthropic culture. Without volunteers, gifts in kind and monetary donations Meadowridge could not remain one of the top schools of our nation.
The Chair of this Committee is Dr. Diana Germain. The Advancement Committee consisted of Dr. Ockie Lampen, Mr. Scott Park and Mrs. Susan Waugh as well as Administration representatives Mrs. Lyn Tyler, Mrs. Kalie Whitaker and Mr. Sandy Wakeling. The school’s committed Headmaster, Mr. Hugh Burke supported us routinely. We were grateful to have Mrs. Sue Leighton with us every month to take minutes. Thank you all for your valuable time and insight. This past year our Gala committee consisted of a remarkable group of volunteers. They were able to corral more individual sponsorships and ticket sales than ever. The atmosphere and entertainment were extraordinary. This single event raised $77,000 for our children. I am pleased that many families have taken advantage and have purchased their tickets to next year’s Gala along with their re-registration. It is bound to be another spectacular event and time to connect with other families of the school. The golf tournaments, chaired by parent volunteer Brent Perry, soared to new heights. All targets were not only met but exceeded. The tournament sold out for the first time since its conception and the participants were showered with food and drinks from the numerous sponsorship tents. The event was a remarkable community builder and raised an incredible $35,000 for the school.
Annual Giving campaign then we will be able to meet the needs of our children. I am pleased with the advances of the school and thank each and every one of you that do their part to raise Meadowridge to new heights. Dr. Diana Germain Chair of Advancement
The Chair of this committee is Dr. Ockie Lampen. The other members of the Committee are Mr. Rajindar Singh, Mrs. Cindy Gallagher, Mr. Terry Jung, Mr. Steve Olah, Mr. Don Hincks, Mr. Denis Saltel, Mr. Scott Spurgeon, Ms. Julie Bournival, Mrs. Colette Roussy, Mrs. Lyn Tyler and Mr. Hugh Burke. Meadowridge School was started on a five acre rental property. The building was 18,000 sq. feet of prefabricated modular units. There were 85 students from Kindergarten to grade 9 with 12 teachers. Over the years we have expanded to add a double gym, library, MYP area and the latest expansion to add a cafeteria, theatre, kitchen, additional classrooms and administration offices is now complete and the school is now just under 106,000 sq. feet. We now have over 500 students in grades Junior Kindergarten to grade 12. At the present time, we are completing a 110 x 60 yard playing field to the east of the school. This area will include a multisports area. Around the field, there will be natural berms for bleachers and lighting so the field can be used in the evening.
In the past year, the Committee had to budget for some major upgrades and repairs. At the present time, the area of concern is the roof above the PYP art room and library and this will be repaired over the summer. The roof over the primary building will have to be repaired in the coming years. The boiler and water tank in the primary area also needs replacement over the next few years. This year we are pleased to say that we completed the CESI accreditation report and the Board Facility Committee joined with the Internal Facilities Committee to form a joint committee. Dr. Ockie Lampen Chair of the Facilities Committee
The Facilities Committee plans to complete improvement to security around the campus for the students. Electronic entrance, exit and pedestrian gates have been installed. Entry doors were equipped with electronic locks and we now have the ability to program the gates and key scan cards for access. Security beams were added to all outside areas as well as external buildings and twenty cameras were also installed around the school to monitor the property at all times.
The retention of our donors for our Capital campaign remains high and their on-going pledges continue steadily, donations in excess of $160,000 were received. That being said, Annual Giving was the only fundraising campaign that actively sought support this year. Annual Giving raised $51,042.50. It was wonderful to see many families that have never given to any of our campaigns initiate the process. The school depends heavily on donations. If everyone can support the school’s

Celebrating Excellence Our halls were overflowing with outstanding student art work, which indicated that our children have developed wonderful visual literacy, and are able to express nuanced thought through a dynamic and growing visual and graphic vocabulary, which is growing in importance and use due to the growth of digital communication. This visual literacy is enhanced through the growing use of personal computers from about grade five on; in fact, it is because of this growing use that the school has now mandated the purchase and use of computers from grade six and up for next year. We have also moved to become one of few schools in Canada to be a licensed Microsoft IT Academy, which will provide great opportunities for our children in years to come. The digital revolution may be changing the landscape of learning and business, but things such as confidence, interpersonal skills, focus, courage, and imagination continue to be foundations upon which our children can build, and are brought out not only in academic classes, but also, and importantly, through the performing arts and athletics. As I noted last year, we are building our athletic program consciously over five years, and last year was the first of those building years. I am pleased to note that our teams have done very well this past year - notably in soccer, water polo, and basketball - and we will continue to build on these emerging strengths. We continue to push for even greater participation, and for greater achievement. Our performing arts programs this year have been exceptional in number and quality, and include performances at each IB level, each of which was terrific for the development of our children, and terrific entertainment. Our graduation students provided our first rock opera - RENT - as well as a remarkably enjoyable production of "The Comedy of Errors". Both stretched our students to do their best work, and both incorporated dramatic risks, excellent acting, and top production values. The musical quality of RENT was also outstanding. The MYP production of "Into the Woods" was also just excellent, as was the PYP production of "Pirates". In addition, the many musical nights, concerts, and productions enhanced our community, provided enjoyable evenings, and developed our children well.
Meadowridge School has come a long way in a few short years. We have built a school that is safe, caring, warm, and one that provides our students with opportunities to take risks and shape their own futures.

This year was the first full year of occupying our new facility, and the whole community enjoyed the wonderful spaces, facilities, and programs that can now be offered. We also enlarged the library, doubled the size of our fitness facility, added another athletic area on the old stage, and enjoyed the hugely expanded parking lot. Notably, we are now completing the final stages of our campus plan by adding a new, full-sized lit field. Our children are eagerly anticipating being able to use this sand-based natural grass field, which will now provide the space for all of our teams to practice and to play games.
Our teaching staff has done a wonderful job for us in the past, and I am pleased that all will be returning, except for those who were only hired to fill in during a maternity leave. Our administrative team has also done a great job this past year. I am also pleased to note that at the time of writing this report - early August - it appears that our school will open with another record number of students. Given the difficult economic times, this is a testament to the commitment of our parents and children, as well as to the value provided by our school. This coming year, we will welcome an arms-length criteriabased accreditation by the Canadian Educational Standards Association (CESI), which is highly regarded both nationally and internationally. We have worked all this year to prepare a description of everything in our school, and, in November, a team of about twelve educators from across Canada will spend seven days going through our school, interviewing parents and students and alumni and teachers and Board members and - well, everybody. They will go through our policies and practices, examine our facilities, look at our finances and admissions, and review our academic and co-curricular programs. At the end of that week, they will gather to write an extensive report which will be provided to our Board, outlining strengths and any areas of concern, and providing recommendations. We are anticipating this eagerly, as it will be a chance to really look at our school in depth, and make it even better. Currently, only three schools in B.C. are, like us, members of CESI, and it is just another external indicator of quality for our parents and our Board. As well, we have also spent the past year preparing for two other external accreditations by the International Baccalaureate Association (IB) which will also happen in the next eighteen months. Finally, I would like to take a moment to thank our Board members, all of whom have devoted many, many hours to ensuring the quality and health of our school. The quality of an independent school is directly attributable to the quality of its Board. We are fortunate to have an excellent one, and so I think that our school is in very capable hands. I also want to especially note the commitment, skill, and ability of our Board Chair, John Becker. To be a Board Chair is a demanding and often thankless task, and John - in his first year as Board Chair - has demonstrated both the humility and ability which characterize outstanding Chairs. Thank you, Mr. Becker. Mr. Hugh Burke Headmaster

The 2008/2009 school year was a very successful and productive one, both academically and institutionally. Our enrolment climbed again, and we were glad to welcome many new students, who joined our community of wellrounded and highly achieving students. Once again, all of our graduates were accepted to post-secondary institutes, both in Canada and around the world, and were offered hundreds of thousands of dollars in scholarships. We continued to post outstanding measures of success in government exams at grades four, seven, ten, eleven and twelve, leading the province in academic achievement. Our grade five and ten students completed, respectively, their final year of PYP and MYP, and also completed independent and publicly demonstrated individual projects, of which they can be proud.
Structure The Chair of this Committee is Mrs. Kelly Fry. The other members of the Committee are Treasurer Mr. Mike Jahraus, Governor Mr. Bruce Johnston, and Mr. Mike Schutz has joined as a member at large, approved by the Board of Governors. Administration is represented by the Business Manager Mr. Don Hincks and Controller Ms. Julie Bournival. Functions The role of the Finance Committee is to provide advice and oversight of the budget and strategic financial plan prepared by Administration for the Treasurer and the Board of Governors. The Committee is concerned with the long-term benefit to the school in all financial matters, including property acquisition. They are also responsible for drafting financial policies for Board consideration and approval.
Accomplishments In collaboration with the Administration and the Board of Governors, the Committee has participated in the following: The Finance Committee was pleased to see the transition of the banking and financing to the Bank of Montreal as approved in last summer’s extra-ordinary general meeting. As a result of the move there has been substantial interest savings particularly due to the low interest rates on the variable components of our current debt structure. The Finance Committee, in conjunction with other board members and staff members, worked to quantify the cost of implementing the goals and objectives as outlined in the strategic plan. The Finance Committee, with the administration, has continued to monitor the school’s cash reserves for the Meadowridge Education Investment Deposit Funds and for major facility improvements or maintenance. Our financial comparatives continue to be among the best in the country and are helping us to establish financial stability. During the year the Committee and the Board reviewed comparative financial data from independent schools across Canada provided as part of an annual survey done by CAIS. Revenues were in excess of expenses again this past fiscal year, despite lower than expected fundraising. A higher than projected student count generated revenue in excess of budgeted amounts.
Goals Now that we have completed the 5 year Financial Plan, we will be working with Administration to determine how we will be able to fund the implementation of the high priority objectives. We will continue to work with the Business Manager and the Administration to develop improved reporting to assist the Board and Committee members. We will provide ongoing support and recommendations in conjunction with the Facilities Committee with regards to the acquisition of neighbouring land and properties. We will offer solutions to hedge the school from rising costs and inflation through investments and additional revenue sources. We will continue to prepare policy recommendations regarding the ongoing financial requirements including cash reserves, signing authorizations, approvals for variance levels, etc. We will provide an ongoing review with the Administration regarding the current accounting software and the school’s insurance coverage and risk procedures. Mrs. Kelly Fry Chair of the Finance Committee
The Finance Committee, in consultation with the Board and Administration, approved a 7% tuition increase to cover most of the school’s operating costs and keep pace with the increase in teaching salaries.

In 2009, Meadowridge School forged ahead with its plans of excellence in all aspects of school life. One of the most important achievements of the year was accomplished with little fanfare at the end of the school year. I am very pleased to announce that the services of Mr. Hugh Burke as our headmaster have been secured for another seven years. Mr. Burke’s internal and external achievements would require the full annual report to detail and celebrate. It will have to suffice here to say, our school’s commitment to excellence has been guaranteed. The Board of Governors continues to work diligently on the current issues and strategic planning of the school. Meadowridge School is fortunate to have such a great team at its helm. It has been my pleasure to work with them over the past year. I am pleased to report that we have for the first time in some years the full return of all of the existing Governors. I would particularly like to thank Dr. Michael Orser as Past Chair for his continued friendship and mentorship. It was during Dr. Orser’s many years as Chair of the Board that our financial stability and commitment to excellence were assured. In 2008, the Board of Governors approved a new Strategic Plan. In 2009, through the facilitation of Governor Mr. Mike Jahraus, the Board of Governors together with the senior administration team began to build a Strategic Financial Plan to prudently cost, prioritize, and budget the Strategic Plan initiatives required to keep Meadowridge School as one of the finest schools in the world. The Strategic Financial Plan will be in place during the 2009/2010 school year.
Our larger fundraising and friend-raising projects (the Welcome Back Fair, Gala and Golf Tournament) were again great successes. Increasing the sense of community within the school is hugely important and thanks go out to the many volunteers who made these projects the successes they were. Updating the Bylaws of the Meadowridge School Society remains a consultative work in progress. The Board will have the changes completed over the summer months with the final draft ready to be put to the Annual General Meeting in September 2009. Lastly, but most importantly, our children continue to excel at all levels. Our academic achievements continue at a very high level while at the same time fine arts, athletics, and community service prepare our children to be citizens of the world when they graduate. This would not be possible without the dedication of our wonderful educators and administration - they cannot be thanked enough. Mr. John Becker Chairman of the Board
The Board of Governors will be embarking upon an Advancement Strategic Plan in 2009/2010. Together with the creation of a formal Alumni Association the Advancement Strategic Plan will bring together the past and current members of the school community to support strategic initiatives and capital plans.

The Board’s decisions and long-term vision for Meadowridge are guided by the strategic plan for the school, which is revised on an ongoing basis. An important aspect of the Board’s mandate is the clear distinction made between its governance role and the operational role of the Headmaster and his staff. The Board of Governors are the guardians of our future, providing strategic advice while focusing on the long-term well-being of the school.

Report from the Governance Committee Structure The Chair of this Committee is Dr. Daniel Gouws. Committee members for the term were Mr. John Becker, Mr. Gareth Mason, Mr. Gordon MacIntyre and Mr. Hugh Burke regularly attending. I would like to thank them all for their valuable input and hard work during the year. Policies relating to Board of Governance issues:
We started off the year with Mr. Gareth Mason, our new Board member joining the Governance Committee, and spearheading our Policy Sub-Committee, which has made progress in formalizing and reviewing policy and protocols for the Board of Governors.
Constitutional and legal matters:
We continued with the review of the Bylaws of the Meadowridge School Society, a process that was started in the previous term. This was a long and tedious task, and I would like to thank Mr. John Becker, Chairman of the Board for his significant input and research into this matter. The proposed Bylaw changes were sent out to the members of the School Society provoking considerable interest. The planned Extraordinary General Meeting for approval of the proposed Bylaw changes did take place but it was determined that it would be appropriate to allow more time for a dialogue with the membership and a motion to adopt the new Bylaws. A second motion accepted for the Governance Committee to adjourn this topic to the Annual General Meeting set for September 23, 2009. In the interim the Board’s Communication Committee is implementing a process for dialogue with families so that the intent of the Bylaw changes can be clarified, and so that concerns can be addressed and shared for discussion. We feel confident that we now have relevant and up to date Bylaws that will serve the Society well.
Review of Board structures, CESI accreditation:
Meadowridge is undergoing a Canadian Educational Standards Institute (CESI) evaluation this year. CESI has created different standards and effective practices that they believe all great schools should have. It was our task to address the standards that specifically speaks to Governance. The standard Governance is broken into 10 effective practice sections with questions to answer for each one. One of the goals of the CESI accreditation process is for it to be used authentically as a school improvement document, which

added considerable value to this exercise. Therefore, it was important to note our areas of strength as well as focus on the ones that need improving.
Evaluation of the Head of the School:
Considerable work went into crafting a Head Evaluation Process (as part of the Head Evaluation and Support function), and we are very thankful for the input from Mr. Gordon McIntyre in this regard. After various models of assessment were reviewed we finally decided to create our own document and process which included the strategic planning goals for the Headmaster, as well as making use of existing evaluation instruments. The Head Evaluation and Support Committee have subsequently met with the Headmaster, and have found this a very useful process and dialogue, which will now be used on an ongoing basis.

Annual Board Evaluation:
We have adopted the practice of reviewing and discussing the individual chapters in the International Trustee Handbook, at monthly Board meetings throughout the school year, both to stimulate discussion of a Board’s current practices and to motivate Board members to familiarize themselves with the corresponding chapters in the handbook. The idea was to transform the concept of “Board training” from a once-a-year, isolated event into an accepted and valuable item on the Board’s monthly agenda. This process was then expanded to include and implement a strategic Board assessment process, which will be ongoing. Dr. Daniel R Gouws Chair of the Governance Committee
