b'PRINCIPALS MESSAGE SARAH BRUCEThe 2021-2022 school year was our first under the guidance of Greenwoods new strategic plan, Venture Further Together. We envision Greenwood as a recognized leader in providing an inclusive, customized, engaging and character-building experience that prepares our students to make a positive difference in the world; our five strategic imperatives are designed to move the schooltowards this goal. The first two imperatives listed were identified by our Board of Directors as being top priorities for 2021-2022. Despite the challenges imposed by COVID-19, the school made strides in all five areas, and I am delighted to report on our progress.1 Promote Mental Health and Well-being as Integral Partsof Greenwoods Cultureand ExperienceThe last few years have reaffirmed for us the importance of community, togetherness and belonging for student success and well-being. Progress in this area last year included:Gathering a range of voices to define mental health and well-beingwithin our community: We want to create a holistic view and definition of mental health and well-being that rings true for our community. Last year, we began gathering feedback from students and staff on what mental health means to them, both in the physical world and online.Effectively integrating our full-time Social Worker into the community:Our Social Worker, Shai Kohen, is a key support for students, and we ensured that students were aware of this vital resource. Advisers also leveraged our Social Worker by scheduling classroom visits and referring students for counselling sessions as needed. Greenwood Annual Report 2021/2022 4'
