Clairlea's 2009-10 EQAO results

Clairlea's EQAO results (at left) compared to the TDSB and province

Many of you already know about Clairlea's past performance on the province of Ontario's Education Quality and Accountability (EQAO) exams. If you were here last year, you'll be familiar with the interventions and learning pathways that formed part of the school's improvement plan.

All that hard work paid off. Clairlea's results in 2009-10 are something to be very proud of. The students and teachers worked very hard to make this happen and I believe that the interventions of last year will pay dividends for years to come. Clairlea showed that good leadership, creative thinking, sharing ideas, celebrating success, hard work and (perhaps most importantly) believing in yourself can make all the difference!

These are some screen shots from Clairlea's full EQAO report, which is available on the TDSB web site. (You can also find 2008, 2007, 2006 and 2005 reports for comparison.) It's great that we surpassed both the Toronto board and the province, but my favourite graph is the one that shows Clairlea's consistent improvement over time. What I like best about this school is that the staff are still talking about improvement, still working at getting better.
No resting on laurels at this school.
