Highlights/Accomplishments
Inter-professional Collaboration Holy Trinity Catholic School Division recognizes the value of inter-professional collaboration (IPC) as a key component of the service delivery model used for providing supports for student learning and achievement. The expectation in 2013-14 was to embed IPC in the school support personnel protocols to positively impact student learning. Holy Trinity Catholic School Division, under the guidance of an external facilitator, worked on developing an inter-professional collaboration process. This process included self-assessment, elaboration of roles, sharing of vision, and development of an integrated framework to response to student and classroom needs. Holy Trinity Catholic School division personnel look forward to implementing the integrated in 2014-15.
Reading Research indicates that literacy is connected to future success. If children at the age of nine are able to read they will be able to use this critical skill for future learning success. Holy Trinity Catholic School Division had a comprehensive responsive reading intervention process which supported every reader from prekindergarten to grade eight. The Division’s Reading Response Plan for Grades 1 to 3 included early collection of students’ reading levels, quality core classroom literacy experiences, Leveled Literacy Intervention for those needing short term extra reading support, and more intensive reading intervention for those requiring individual and targeted reading support. The June 2014 reading results surpassed the goal of 80% proficiency for grades 1-3 students.
Safe, Caring and Respectful Schools Many initiatives took place in the 2013-2014 school year to enrich our culture of safety and respect. At the early learning level, Roots of Empathy, an evidence-based program that raises social/ emotional competence, increases empathy and reduces aggression was implemented in a kindergarten classroom with great success. All teachers and educational assistants received in-service in responsive school practices. Also, more than fifty staff members were trained in non-violent crisis intervention and all administrators now have violent risk assessment training. As well, in the area of respectful schools, all staff and parents were provided workshops in anti-bullying strategies and a high school student team (Students 4 Action) was trained in Respect Ed. This team worked in all schools to raise awareness and promote acceptance of diversity. Four key support documents were updated/created: Administrative Procedures to address bullying; a common Parent-Student Handbook; a current Emergency Response Guide; and a Crisis Response Guide for schools. All support documents can be found on the division website.

All classrooms in Holy Trinity Catholic School Division provided, in a transparent and dynamic way, the provincially-mandated curricula. Teachers have been encouraged and supported through ongoing professional development to provide engaging classroom instruction delivered through effective strategies and differentiation. In addition, each school in the Division offered specialized programming that responds to the needs of its students. The following list identifies programs that were in operation at one or more of the Division’s schools:

Grade 3 Reading Holy Trinity Catholic School Division has a Reading Response to Intervention Plan which include students reading levels being assessed three times a year. Results are then used to determine plans for reading supports.
The Division Reading Response to Intervention Plan has been evaluated as successful in supporting emergent readers.
Division reading goals for June 2014 were as follows:
80% of grade 1 students will be reading at grade level
80% of grade 2 students will be reading at grade level
80% of grade 3 students will be reading at grade level
Holy Trinity Roman Catholic Separate School Division #22 Board of Education Annual Report – 2013 – 14 – Page 6
June 2014 reading scores were:
85% of grade 1 students scored at or above grade level
81% of grade 2 students scored at or above grade level
84% of grade 3 students scored at or above grade level
June 2014 reading scores provide evidence that early, targeted and responsive reading interventions, both in the classroom and as augmentation, provide the opportunity for young readers to be successful.
Professional Growth Plans Teachers’ professional development was important to understand curricular outcomes and the criteria for proficient student work. Teachers who know and apply the effective strategies that improve student engagement and motivation have fostered improved student achievement. Holy Trinity Catholic School Division has developed a multi-leveled professional development plan to support teachers on their continued professional journey which included individual Professional Growth Plans comprised of:
a focus on assessment with options for teachers to work individually or with colleagues ontheir unit plans.
two meetings with In-school administrators to review and support Professional GrowthPlans.
Treaty and First Nations and Métis Education The highlights of Holy Trinity Catholic School Division’s First Nations and Métis Education Plan appear below.
Goal #1: Equitable Outcomes - The achievement rates of self-identified First Nations, Métis and Inuit (FNMI) students will improve year over year in reading, writing, oral language, and numeracy. Strategies to achieve this goal included instructional programs that focused on targeted academic skills, individual and group interventions, systematic measurement of students’ progress, and support for teachers. Holy Trinity Catholic School Division has a .2 FTE FNMI support teacher who collects FNMI data in reading, writing, math, attendance and graduation rates.
Goal #2: All learners to have knowledge and appreciation of the unique contributions of First Nations and Métis peoples - Holy Trinity Catholic School Division has had a FNMI Education Higher Literacy and Achievement plan for the past five years. Within this plan, a concerted effort has been made to assist educators in treaty teachings. Strategies to support this goal include incorporation of First Nations and Métis content, perspectives and ways of knowing in all units and lesson plans, and increasing the number of library resources with FNMI themes.

Goal #3: Data collection and reporting - The School Division will develop and implementation plans to disaggregate student achievement data in order to measure the growth of self-identified FNMI students. Strategies to achieve this goal include collection of data within the Pearson Inform database. Holy Trinity Catholic School Division believes in the value of early intervention and implemented Help Me Tell My Story, a culturally based early learning assessment at Sacred Heart School.
Digital Fluency and Improved Student Outcomes Technology is a motivator for students, increasing their engagement and, subsequently, their achievement. Holy Trinity Catholic School Division continued to show its progressive mandate to provide 21st Century learning opportunities for 21st Century students:
Professional Development was aligned to teacher expertise in both hardware and digitalresources.
The use of a variety of digital Mathematics supports such as Khan Academy Mathematicsvideo, Mathletics and Reflex Math was expanded.
A technology catalyst group prepared a multi-year HTCSD Technology Plan which providedtargets for the use of technology to achieve improved student outcomes.
8 teachers have been registered as Discovery Education Network Stars. Their roles are onesof leadership in the incorporation of Discovery Education digital resources to promoteengagement and improve learning outcomes.
Early Learning Holy Trinity Catholic School Division believes in the importance of quality early learning experiences and the positive impact these experiences have on future opportunities to learn. Holy Trinity Catholic School Division had a Prekindergarten program in every Moose Jaw and Swift Current elementary school with a total number of 166 children being provided a developmentally appropriate early learning experience. Five of Holy Trinity Catholic School Division’s Prekindergarten programs are funded by the Ministry while six are funded by the Division. The support for early learning extended to include:

Prekindergarten teachers, instructional assistants and Kindergarten teachers engaged incollaborative continuous professional development. This included book studies in areas ofsocial and emotional development.
Administrators provided Play and Exploration professional development.
Every Prekindergarten and Kindergarten classroom took part in the Early Years Evaluation(EYE) Assessment in April, 2014. The results were shared with parents and then used tosupport children’s developmental needs.
The Help Me Tell My Story assessment was added to Prekindergarten and Kindergartenclassrooms at Sacred Heart Community School.
The Roots of Empathy program to raise social/emotional competence, increases empathyand reduce aggression was implemented in a kindergarten classroom with great success.
Programming for Medically Fragile Students The Raphael Centre, a program for medically fragile students, is situated within the St. Michael Elementary School facility. Its purpose is to promote independence in children with significant physical and/or cognitive disabilities. The centre is equipped to address the complex needs of children with disabilities in a caring competent setting. Holy Trinity has a contractual arrangement with Prairie South School Division (PSS210) whereby PSS210 students who are medically fragile are able to attend the Raphael Centre.
The Raphael Centre wing includes a multi-purpose gathering room and an eat-in kitchen for meals and domestic arts. A large physiotherapy room is equipped with two plinths, a Hoyer lift and student-specific therapy equipment including bikes and standing frames. Adjacent rooms include two sensory spaces and a small classroom with touch-screen computers. The bathrooms are outfitted with regular toilets, wheelchair accessible toilets, training toilets, change tables and a wheelchair accessible bathing facility. Students are able to play safely and independently in a fully-enclosed, partially sheltered courtyard in an alcove of St. Michael’s School. In the 2013-2014 school year eighteen students (12 from Holy Trinity and 6 from PSS210) are registered in the program.
In the 2013-2014 school year, the Raphael Centre went through a process to identify critical steps to provide quality programming for students with intensive developmental needs. Assessment, resources and learning templates were identified as essential to ensure students receive high quality service.
By June 2014, the Assessment of Basic Language and Learning Skills (ABLLS-R) was successfully implemented with 13 students at the Raphael Center and 5 students currently in regular classroom settings. ABLLS-R is a resource that provides assessment, curriculum guide, and a skills tracking system for children with delays. It gives both parents and professionals information regarding a child’s current skills in academic, self-help and motor skills. Teaching resources and lesson outlines were aligned to meet the Raphael team’s goal for providing high quality programming to students with developmental disabilities.
Inter-professional Collaboration Curriculum and Student Services Consultants and Specialists spent the year engaging in an Inter-professional Collaboration initiative with the goal of improving integration of services to schools and students.
The targeted outcomes for the year long process included: a) Coordination of support to positively impact student learning and achievementb) Development of a Student Support School Team Processc) Embedding of IPC teamwork in the development of school support personnel protocols
Holy Trinity Roman Catholic Separate School Division #22 Board of Education Annual Report – 2013 – 14 – Page 9
There were two midyear monitoring reports that provided essential feedback that helped to frame the ongoing work of the Inter-professional Collaboration group. A final integrated framework to respond more effectively to student and classroom needs is now complete and ready for implementation.
High School Special Programs/Achievements Vanier Collegiate provides a quality Catholic high school program for grades 9 to 12 students in Moose Jaw. There are many highlights but two will be noted here: the Pre-Health Professions Club and the Vanier Collegiate Chamber Choir achievement. Vanier is the only high school in Moose Jaw to offer the Pre-Health Professions Club which provides students unique opportunities to network, mentor and explore health care professions in medicine, nursing, pharmacy and nutrition. The club is a partnership between Saskatchewan school divisions, post-secondary institutions and regional health authorities. Since 2008, students at Vanier Collegiate have greatly benefited from this unique, exciting and informative program. Also the Vanier Collegiate Chamber Choir and conductor Valerie McWilliams have been invited to perform at the Heritage Carnegie Hall Festival in New York City next spring. The group earned a Gold rating for its performance at the Heritage New York Festival in April 2014, and that Gold rating resulted in an invitation for the Chamber Choir to perform at Carnegie Hall as part of a National Youth Choir.

School Division Planning
Holy Trinity Catholic School Division has a well-established planning, implementation and monitoring process. School Division priorities align with Provincial targets.
Strategic Plan
In 2013 the Board of Education of Holy Trinity Catholic School Division developed a strategic plan which provides overall direction for everything the division does and serves as an anchor to ensure that all division planning processes are in alignment with each other.
The strategic plan defines Holy Trinity Catholic School Division’s mission, vision, and guiding principles – provided earlier in this annual report. In addition to these foundational elements, the strategic plan includes strategic directions, board priorities, and key strategies to achieve board priorities.
The Holy Trinity Catholic School Division’s strategic directions include:
Direction #1: Faith Development
Direction #2: Early Learning
Direction #3: Reading
Direction #4: Infrastructure
A copy of the 2013-14 strategic plan is available at http://www.htcsd.ca/public/pdf/board/BoardPriorities2014.pdf
Throughout 2013-14, Holy Trinity Catholic School Division collaborated with all other school divisions and the Ministry of Education to develop, for the first time, an Education Sector Strategic Plan (ESSP) for 2014-2020. This plan will align the work of all school divisions and the Ministry in working toward improving education outcomes of Saskatchewan students. The ESSP includes strategies, outcomes and measures to ensure that the targets identified in the Saskatchewan Plan for Growth are achieved. This plan will be deployed in 2014-15.

The School Division in the Community
Community and Parent Involvement
All schools in Holy Trinity School Division recognize the significant impact parent engagement has on increased student learning. There are many ways that Holy Trinity schools involved their communities in the life of learning. Schools regularly communicated with parents through newsletters, email, twitter, HTCSD App and PowerSchool. At the beginning of the school year, each school held an open house for parents and the community that was coupled with a snack, breakfast or BBQ supper. Events regularly occurred at the school to draw the community into the building. Many schools celebrated Shrove Tuesday with a breakfast and all elementary schools have literacy, science and/or math evenings. All schools held a Mission Fair to raise money for charities—a tradition which parents, grandparents and extended family regularly attend. In 2013-1014, student-led conferences were implemented, with great success, in all schools and parents had the opportunity to listen as students demonstrated their achievement. Local media highlighted many of the special events that happened in Holy Trinity Schools. Of note was the Moose Jaw elementary schools promotion and celebration of reading that occurred during Reading Town Week 2014.
Community Partnerships
Holy Trinity Catholic School Division has established a wide range of formal and informal community partnerships in order to provide a variety of student learning opportunities that will be positive and successful for students.
Integrated Services Model: Holy Trinity Catholic School Division is dedicated to responsive education. To this end, all schools in the Division have adopted an integrated services model in which they partner with agencies and local community-based organizations in order to address the needs of students. The School Division psychologist partners with the Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Program psychologist and together they assess, create common reports and programs for students who are designated with ASD. The School Support Consultant worked with numerous agencies, such as mental health, Family Outreach, Cognitive Disability, YMCA and Community Living and other social services agencies in order to ensure that students’ physical, social, and psychological needs are met.
Family Outreach, Mentors, and Adolescent School-based Team: The School Division has partnered with the Ministry of Social Services in funding a Family Outreach Program to support families who require assistance to access services in areas such as mental health care, parenting, recreation, or grief counselling. Holy Trinity has also partnered with Five Hills Health Region (FHHR), Mental Health and Addiction Services, Ministry of Social Services, and Prairie South School Division to form the Adolescent School-based Team which provides individual and group intervention services in the high schools for children and high risk youth.
Regional Intersectoral Committees: Holy Trinity is an active supporting member of the Moose Jaw South Central and the South West Regional Intersectoral Committees whose purpose is to promote collaboration, integration and partnerships among government, non-government and community agencies. We worked together to improve the well-being of children, youth, families and communities. Through shared processes and resources we better supported and facilitated the combined work of our departments, agencies and communities to provide a seamless service support to children and families.
Holy Trinity Roman Catholic Separate School Division #22 Board of Education Annual Report – 2013 – 14 – Page 12
A community Mobilization HUB model has been running successfully in Moose Jaw since January, 2013. As of January, 2014, The HUB model is now established in Swift Current and Shaunavon. The HUB was established to bring government, human service agencies, police and community organizations together to focus on community safety and wellness and on long-term community goals. Holy Trinity has referred a number of situations involving its students to the HUB for intervention, and most of these students are now back in school.
Newcomers’ Protocol: In recent years, the schools in Swift Current and Moose Jaw have welcomed many students who are newcomers to Canada. Holy Trinity School Division works closely with the Multicultural Office in Moose Jaw and the Welcome Centre in Swift Current to connect with and get to know these families. All of our newcomer students were assessed with the Common Framework of Reference (CFR) and received appropriate programming within two weeks of arrival. In 2013-2014, fifteen teachers and consultants received two days of specialized training in order to become more knowledgeable in planning and delivering lessons to help develop English language proficiency. In the 2013-2014, Holy Trinity welcomed 15 newcomer families to our school communities.
YMCA Mentorship Program: The Shared Services Mentor Program is a Mentorship Program derived from a partnership between Holy Trinity Catholic School Division, FHHR Mental Health and Addiction Services, Prairie South School Division, and the Ministry of Social Services. Mentors are trained adults who are partnered with youths (mentees) in need of extra support from an adult and/or opportunities for more participation in the community and in activities. A mentor spends at least 10 hours per month with a school-aged youth doing one-on-one or small group activities. Activities are designed to meet the needs and interests of the mentee, and to help develop self-confidence, community connectedness, and life skills in the mentee. In 2013-2014 ten Holy Trinity elementary students received mentorship support through this program.
Parishes: Holy Trinity schools partner with four parishes: Christ the King in Shaunavon, Christ the Redeemer in Swift Current, and Church of Our Lady and St. Joseph in Moose Jaw. All parishes generously supported literacy and nutrition programs in our schools. The Moose Jaw parishes have also financially supported some of the material needs of our most vulnerable students. All parishes have participated in our programs to provide a safe and caring environment for our students.

Hunger in Moose Jaw: The Hunger in Moose Jaw program provides free lunches for students in our schools in Moose Jaw who live in poverty. In addition, Parish organizations and committees and several businesses in Moose Jaw, Swift Current and Shaunavon offer financial support to our breakfast programs for students.
High School Partners: Phoenix Academy has had an effective partnership with the YMCA. The students have use of the YMCA facilities four days a week for eight months. The YMCA also provides an alternative to suspension program for students who do not choose to comply with expectations. Parishes as well as businesses donate money for gifts and acknowledgement of students who do well in completing their courses or giving back to the community in some way. Students are also connected thorough volunteer work at Riverside Mission. A group of businesses and the YMCA have informally partnered with Vanier Collegiate in Moose Jaw to renovate and provide equipment for the school’s fitness room. Strictly Fences, a local business, has supported physical fitness by donating time, resources, expertise to the Vanier gym and weight equipment room. Businesses in Moose Jaw have been very generous in supporting both Vanier Collegiate and Phoenix Academy students in Career Work Experience opportunities. As well, the Ministry of Health (Mental Health and Addictions) provides on-site counselling for students at both Vanier Collegiate and Phoenix Academy.

School Community Councils
The Board of Education has established School Community Councils (SCC) to support our schools. All nine School Community Councils in Holy Trinity School Division are made up of the required number of elected and appointed members, as outlined in The Education Regulations, 1986. One School Community Council served both St. Patrick Elementary and St. Joseph Middle School in Swift Current. The actual number of School Community Council members varies from school to school. St. Michael School has representation from parents who have children with disabilities; Vanier Collegiate and Phoenix Academy have student representatives on their Councils.
School Community Councils (SCCs) continue to play a key role in all schools. All School Community Councils were a part of creating and supporting the goals of their schools. School Community Councils were involved in the math, science and literacy nights. They supported the schools with such things as book exchanges, bike rodeos, InMotion activity days, dances and play days. They also supported financially to supply the schools with items such as playground equipment, sports uniforms, SMART boards and Chromebooks. They have been strong advocates with all parents and with the community.
Holy Trinity Board of Education met with all School Community Councils at least once each year in each of our three communities. This meeting was used as an opportunity for the community to participate in shared planning, provide advice to the Board and share highlights of the past year. Some highlights included the promotion of citizenship and community building through such events as caroling, community clean-up, volunteering at Riverside Mission, adopting third world children and families, donating to Habitat for Humanity and connecting with families who are part of this program and donating to the food bank. Other highlights included the supporting of literacy, science and math through activity evenings, book exchanges, contests, dress up days and the purchase of technological devices and programs such as Chromebooks and Mathletics. Physical activity has also been strongly supported by our SCCs through the InMotion events and activities, playground improvements, purchasing of sports and fitness equipment, score clocks and school sports uniforms.

Indicators
Holy Trinity Catholic School Division’s objective is to support priorities that align with those of the province in areas designated as having significant impact on academic achievement and future success. The following four indicators are relevant to this objective.
Grade 12 Graduation
Three-Year Graduation Rates – In June 2014, 89.3% of all Holy Trinity Catholic School Division students graduated within three years of entering Grade 10, an 8% increase from 2013. Data for self-identified FNMI students has been suppressed as there were fewer than 10 students in these cohorts. Holy Trinity Catholic School Division’s overall graduation rate is higher than provincial results for the past two years.

Note: On-time graduation rates are calculated as the percentage of students who complete Grade 12 within 3 years of ‘starting’ Grade 10. Results for populations of 10 or fewer have not been reported to avoid identifying individuals or very small groups of students. FNMI students are those who choose to self-identify as First Nations (Registered/Treaty/Status Indian, Non-Status Indian), Métis, or Inuit/Inuk. Non-FNMI students are those who do not identify themselves to be FNMI, and may include FNMI students who choose not to self-identify. Source: Ministry of Education, 2014

Five-Year Graduation Rates – Some students need more time to complete all the courses necessary to graduate, and so they continue in school longer than three years after beginning Grade 10. The graduation rate increases when these extra years of schooling are considered. By June 2014, 91.5% of all Holy Trinity Catholic School Division students who had entered grade 10 five years previously had graduated. Holy Trinity Catholic School Division’s five-year graduation rate for all students shows a 10% improvement from June 2012 and a similar percentage when compared to 2013. These results indicate perseverance and commitment to achieve graduation even with impediments.

Average Final Marks
Holy Trinity RCSSD students’ average final marks in grade 10 and 11 2013-14 courses are higher than the provincial average in all courses selected for comparison with the exception of Math Foundations 20. Division First Nations and Métis and Inuit self-declared students are fewer than 10 and therefore not reported.

Grade 7 to 10 Transitions
There are several critical transition points as students move through the Prekindergarten to Grade 12 education system. The transition from middle to secondary grades is particularly important. Figure 6 below shows that while the great majority of Holy Trinity Catholic School Division students who begin Grade 7 are still in Grade 10 three years later, all FNMI students are either in Grade 10 or are still in school continuing previous grades.
Figure 7: Grade 7 to 10 Transitions – Holy Trinity RCSSD
Note: Students who have not progressed to Grade 10 “on-time” may have remained in a previous grade or were not re-enrolled in subsequent years. “Still in School” is the proportion of students either in Grade 10 or continuing a previous grade. Results for populations of 10 or fewer have not been reported to avoid identifying individuals or very small groups of students (nr). Categories where results are not available at this time are recorded as (na).

Credit Attainment
Credit attainment in high school is one way to determine students’ progress in meeting graduation requirements of 24 credits. In Holy Trinity Catholic School Division, there are a number of students who take more than eight credits in their grade 10 and 11 school years so that they do not need to take eight credits in grade 12. Secondly, the graph below includes data from the alternate high school program which includes a number of students who wish to continue their education while working full time or providing child care. Their other commitments do not allow them time to take eight credits per year. Holy Trinity Catholic School Division intends to analyze this data in greater detail so as to respond when needed.

Student Transportation In 2013-14 Holy Trinity Catholic School Division used two primary methods of student transportation. Contracted services were used in the communities of Swift Current and Shaunavon, and a fleet of Division-owned and operated buses and 15-passenger vans provided service in Moose Jaw. The fleet of seven route buses and two spare buses were housed at a fenced compound in Moose Jaw. The School Division does not have garage facilities or mechanics. All service and maintenance were contracted to a third party.
In addition to the seven route buses there were three 15-passenger vans that were utilized solely for transporting prekindergarten children in full child restraint seats within the city of Moose Jaw. An additional 15-passenger van was used to transport children residing on streets that cannot accommodate a traditional bus as well as providing service in special situations as approved.
In Swift Current and Moose Jaw transportation for students with special circumstances are provided in a variety of ways. Figure 10 below refers only to transportation services provided by Holy Trinity buses or 15-passenger vans to and from school:

Financial Overview
In the 2013-2014 fiscal year we completed the construction of a new school in Swift Current. As a result of this project our revenues in the last two years have been inflated by approximately $7 million each year. The grants for this capital construction are included in the 84% in the graph below.
As demonstrated in the graph below our biggest source of revenue comes from Provincial Grants. If the amount of $7 million for capital construction is removed in order to focus on Operations, then the percent changes slightly to about 81% from Ministry and 15% from Property Tax.
Expenditures in the various categories continue to be consistent with previous years. Our biggest component lies in the Instructional area. Almost 75% of our spending is going directly to support students in the classroom. As you see from the graph below, maintaining our school facilities is the next biggest category coming in at just over 10% of our expenditures.

Explanation for Variances (All variances that are greater than positive or negative 5% must be explained)
Explanation
The major difference between budget and actual grants from the Ministry is comprised of $7,193,720 in revenues from the Ministry for construction of a new school in Swift Current which was not included in the budgeted revenues. When adding grant and complementary services revenue received from the Ministry and removing the capital grants for the new school, the difference between budget and actual ministry revenue is $121,847 or just over .5 percent in varience.
Holy Trinity school division has only one source of tuition revenue which comes to us from Prairie South school division for students enrolled at Raphael Centre (St. Michael School). The Raphael Centre addresses the complex needss of students with significant cognitive and/or physical disabilities. At the time the budget was approved tuition revenue was not included.
School generated revenues are those funds collected at school level. All revenues are maintained and accounted for by the division office, with no bank accounts held at the school level. All school generated funds must be spent for the purpose which ther were collected. Any unspent revenue are placed into a reserve account and made available in the next school year. The budget established for this line item may vary depending on how active fund raising initiative at the school level are in any given year.
Our school division amalgamated in 2003 and at that time established brand new Board Policies & Procedures. The Board did a review and update of those policies and procedures this fiscal year which resulted in more expenditures than were budgeted for in the area of 'Governance'.
The varience in the area of 'Administration' relates to unexpected expenditures for the division office building HVAC system as well as some salary expenditures which were not budgeted for.
In the area of 'Plant' this fiscal period there were a number of emergent issues which arose that were unbudgeted for. Our school facilities are very aged and at a point where issues come up which must be addressed. An example of this would be structural issues at St. Margaret School that required attention for safety reasons. This alone cost $30,000.
The difference between budget and actual in the 'other revenue' category was an under-estimate of interest revenue partly due to the fact that funds were advanced for capital projects and not expended immediately - resulting in additional interest revenue.
School Generated Expenditures likewise are recorded and accouncted for throught the division office. Because expenditures must not exceed total revenue plus any carry over from the previous year, the budget in this category is always set at the same amount as is budgeted for in the revenue category. The net effect of 'School Generated Funds' on the financial bottom line for the entire division is always zero because these funds cannot be used for school division operations since the funds belong to individual schools.
In the category of 'Tuition and Related Fees' the under spending relates to a budget for monies paid directly to parents in lieu of providing transportation. Our expenditures in this area came in less that expected when the budget was established.
The over expenditure in the 'Complementary Services' are related to staff salaries which were under budgeted.

1. AUTHORITY AND PURPOSE
The School Division operates under the authority of The Education Act, 1995 of Saskatchewan as a corporation under the name of “The Board of Education of the Holy Trinity Roman Catholic Separate School Division No. 22 and operates as “The Holy Trinity Roman Catholic Separate School Division No. 22”. The School Division provides education services to residents within its geographic region and is governed by an elected board of trustees.
The School Division is funded mainly by grants from the Government of Saskatchewan and a levy on the property assessment included in the School Division’s boundaries at mill rates determined by the provincial government and agreed to by the Board of Education, although separate school divisions continue to have a legislative right to set their own mill rates. The School Division is exempt from income tax and is a registered charity under the Income Tax Act.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian public
sector accounting standards for other government organizations as established by the
Public Sector Accounting Board (PSAB) and as published by the Chartered
Professional Accountants of Canada (CPA Canada).
Significant aspects of the accounting policies adopted by the school division are as
follows:
a) Adoption of New Public Sector Accounting (PSA) Standards
In 2014, the school division adopted the new PSA standard PS3260 Liability for
Contaminated Sites.
Detailed information on the impact of the adoption of this new PSA standard is
provided in Note 18 Accounting Changes.
b) Reporting Entity
The financial statements include all of the assets, liabilities, revenues and
expenses of the School Division.
c) Basis of Accounting
The financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting.
d) Measurement Uncertainty and the Use of Estimates
Canadian public sector accounting standards requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
HOLY TRINITY ROMAN CATHOLIC SEPARATE SCHOOL DIVISION NO. 22NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As at August 31, 2014
Holy Trinity Roman Catholic Separate School Division #22 Board of Education Annual Report – 2013 – 14 – Page 42
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the year.
Measurement uncertainty that may be material to these financial statements
exists for:
the liability for employee future benefits of $524,500 (2013 - $475,600)
because actual experience may differ significantly from actuarial
estimations.
property taxation revenue of $3,782,629 (2013 - $3,926,531) because final
tax assessments may differ from initial estimates.
uncollectible taxes of $16,445 (2013 - $12,780) because actual collectability
may differ from initial estimates.
accumulated amortization of $16,574,861 (2013 - $15,671,621) because the
actual useful lives of tangible capital assets may differ from estimates.
These estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and, as adjustments
become necessary, they are reported in earnings in the periods in which they
become known.
While best estimates are used for reporting items subject to measurement
uncertainty, it is reasonably possible that changes in future conditions, occurring
within one fiscal year, could require a material changes in the amounts
recognized or disclosed.
e) Financial Instruments
Financial instruments are any contracts that give rise to financial assets of one
entity and financial liabilities or equity instruments of another entity. A contract
establishing a financial instrument creates, at its inception, rights and obligations
to receive or deliver economic benefits. The school division recognizes a
financial instrument when it becomes a party to a financial instrument. The
financial assets and financial liabilities portray these rights and obligations in
financial statements. Financial instruments of the school division include cash
and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, portfolio investments, accounts
payable and accrued liabilities and long term debt.
All financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at cost or amortized
cost. Transaction costs are a component of cost for financial instruments
measured using cost or amortized cost. For financial instruments measured
using amortized cost, the effective interest rate method is used to determine
interest revenue or expense. Impairment losses such as write-downs or write-
offs are reported in the statement of operations and accumulated surplus from
operations.
HOLY TRINITY ROMAN CATHOLIC SEPARATE SCHOOL DIVISION NO. 22NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As at August 31, 2014
Holy Trinity Roman Catholic Separate School Division #22 Board of Education Annual Report – 2013 – 14 – Page 43
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Gains and losses on financial instruments measured at cost or amortized cost are
recognized in the statement of operations and accumulated surplus from
operations in the period the gain or loss occurs.
f) Financial Assets
Financial assets are assets that could be used to discharge existing liabilities or
finance future operations and are not for consumption in the normal course of
operations. Valuation allowances are used where considered necessary to reduce
the amounts reported for financial assets to their net realizable value.
Cash and Cash Equivalents consist of cash, bank deposits and highly liquid
investments with initial maturity terms of three months or less and held for the
purpose of meeting short-term operating cash commitments rather than for
investing purposes.
Accounts Receivable includes taxes receivable, provincial grants receivable and
other receivables. Taxes receivable represent education property taxes assessed
or estimated owing to the end of the fiscal period but not yet received. The
allowance for uncollected taxes is a valuation allowance used to reduce the
amount reported for taxes receivable to the estimated net recoverable amount.
The allowance represents management’s estimate of the amount of taxes that
will not be collected taking into consideration prior years’ tax collections and
information provided by municipalities regarding collectability of outstanding
balances. Provincial grants receivable represent operating, capital, and other
grants earned but not received at the end of the fiscal year, provided reasonable
estimates of the amounts can be made. Grants are earned when the events giving
rise to the grant have occurred, the grant is authorized and any eligibility criteria
have been met.
Other receivables are recorded at cost less valuation allowances. These
allowances are recorded where collectability is considered doubtful.
Portfolio Investments consist of GICs and short term deposits. The school
division values its portfolio investments in accordance with its policy for
financial instruments, as described in Note 2 (e).
g) Non Financial Assets
Non-financial assets are assets held for consumption in the provision of services.
These assets do not normally provide resources to discharge the liabilities of the
School Division unless they are sold.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Tangible Capital Assets have useful lives extending beyond the accounting
period, are used by the School Division to provide services to the public and are
not intended for sale in the ordinary course of operations. Tangible capital assets
include land and land improvements, buildings, buildings short term, school
buses, other vehicles, furniture and equipment, computer hardware and software,
audio visual equipment, capital lease assets, and assets under construction.
Tangible capital assets are recorded at cost (or estimated cost when the actual
cost is unknown) and include all costs directly attributable to the acquisition,
design, construction, development, installation and betterment of the tangible
capital asset. The School Division does not capitalize interest incurred while a
tangible capital asset is under construction.
The cost of depreciable tangible capital assets, net of any residual value, is
amortized on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives as follows:
Land
Land improvements (pavement, fencing, lighting, etc.)
Indefinite
20 years
Buildings 50 years
Buildings – short-term (portables, storage sheds, outbuildings, garages) 20 years
School buses 12 years
Other vehicles – passenger 5 years
Other vehicles – heavy (graders, 1 ton truck, etc.) 10 years
Furniture and equipment 10 years
Computer hardware and audio visual equipment (Lease Term) 4 years
Computer software 5 years
Capital Lease Assets Lease Term
Assets under construction are not amortized until completed and placed into service
for use.
Assets that have a historical or cultural significance, such as works of art,
monuments and other cultural artifacts, are not recognized as tangible capital
assets because a reasonable estimate of future benefits associated with these
properties cannot be made.
Prepaid Expenses are prepaid amounts for goods or services which will provide
economic benefits in one or more future periods. Items recorded in this category
include prepaid insurance, prepaid premises rental, Workers’ Compensation
premiums, etc.
h) Liabilities
Liabilities are present obligations arising from transactions and events occurring
prior to year-end, which will be satisfied in the future through the use of assets
or another form of economic settlement.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Short Term Borrowings are comprised of Bank indebtedness with initial
maturities of one year or less and are incurred for the purpose of financing
current expenditures in accordance with the provisions of The Education Act,
1995.
Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities include accounts payable and
accrued liabilities owing to third parties and employees for work performed,
goods supplied and services rendered, but not yet paid, at the end of the fiscal
period. Amounts are payable within one year.
Long Term Debt is comprised of capital loans and other long term debt with
initial maturities of more than one year and are incurred for the purpose of
financing capital expenditures in accordance with the provisions of The
Education Act, 1995. Long term debt also includes capital lease obligations
where substantially all of the benefits and risks incident to ownership are
transferred to the School Division without necessarily transferring legal
ownership. The amount of the lease liability recorded at the beginning of the
lease term is the present value of the minimum lease payments, excluding the
portion thereof relating to executory costs.
Liability for Employee Future Benefits represents post-employment and
compensated absence benefits that accrue to the school division's employees.
The cost of these benefits is recorded as the benefits are earned by employees.
The liability relating to these benefits is actuarially determined using the
projected benefit method pro-rated on service. Actuarial valuations are
performed periodically using assumptions including discount rate, inflation,
salary escalation, termination and retirement rates and mortality. An actuary
extrapolates these valuations when a valuation is not done in the current fiscal
year. Actuarial gains and losses are amortized on a straight line basis over the
expected average remaining service life of the related employee groups.
Deferred Revenue from Non-government Sources represents fees or payments
for services received in advance of the fee being earned or the services being
performed, and other contributions for which the contributor has placed
restrictions on the use of the resources. Revenue from tuition and related fees is
recognized as the course is delivered, revenue from contractual services is
recognized as the services are delivered, and revenue from other contributions is
recognized in the fiscal year in which the resources are used for the purpose
specified by the contributor.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
i) Employee Pension Plans
Employees of the School Division participate in the following pension plans:
Multi-Employer Defined Benefit Plans
The School Division’s employees participate in one of the following multi-
employer defined benefit plans:
i) Teachers participate in the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Retirement Plan (STRP) or
the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Superannuation Plan (STSP). The School
Division’s obligation for these plans is limited to collecting and remitting
contributions of the employees at rates determined by the plans.
ii) Other employees participate in the Municipal Employees’ Pension Plan
(MEPP). In accordance with PSAB, the plan is accounted for as a defined
contribution plan whereby the School Division’s contributions are expensed
when due.
j) Revenue Recognition
Revenues are recorded on the accrual basis. Revenues are recognized in the period
in which the transactions or events occurred that gave rise to the revenues, provided
the amount to be received can be reasonably estimated and collection is reasonably
assured.
The school division’s sources of revenues include the following:
i) Government Transfers (Grants)
Grants from governments are considered to be government transfers. In
accordance with PS3410 standard, government transfers are recognized as
revenues when the transfer is authorized, all eligibility criteria have been met,
the amount can be estimated and collection is reasonably assured except when,
and to the extent, stipulations by the transferor give rise to an obligation that
meets the definition of a liability. For transfers with stipulations, revenue is
recognized in the statement of operations and accumulated surplus from
operations as the stipulation liabilities are settled.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
ii) Property taxation
Property tax is levied and collected on a calendar year basis. Uniform
education property tax mill rates are set by the Government of Saskatchewan
and agreed to by the Board of Education, although separate school divisions
continue to have a legislative right to set their own mill rate. Tax revenues are
recognized on the basis of time with 1/12th of estimated total tax revenue
recorded in each month of the school division’s fiscal year. The tax revenue
for the September to December portion of the fiscal year is based on the actual
amounts reported by the municipalities for the calendar taxation year. For the
January to August portion of its fiscal year, the school division estimates tax
revenue based on estimate information provided by municipalities who levy
and collect the property tax on behalf of the school division. The final annual
taxation amounts are reported to the division by each municipality following
the conclusion of each calendar taxation year, and any difference between final
amounts and the school division’s estimates is recorded as an adjustment to
revenue in the next fiscal year.
iii) Fees and Services
Revenues from tuition fees and other fees and services are recognized in the
year they are earned. Amounts that are restricted pursuant to legislation,
regulation or agreements with external parties that may only be used in the
conduct of certain programs or in the delivery of specific services and
transactions are initially recorded as deferred revenue and subsequently
recognized as revenue in the fiscal year the related expenses are incurred or
services are performed.
iv) Interest Income
Interest is recognized on an accrual basis when it is earned.
v) Other (Non-Government Transfer) Contributions
Unrestricted contributions are recognized as revenue in the year received or in
the year the funds are committed to the school division if the amount can be
reasonably estimated and collection is reasonably assured. Externally restricted
contributions are contributions for which the contributor has placed restrictions
on the use of the resources. Externally restricted contributions that are to be
held in perpetuity are recognized as revenue in the year in which they are
received or committed if the amount can be reasonably estimated and
collection is reasonably assured. Externally restricted contributions that are not
held in perpetuity are deferred until the resources are used for the purpose
specified, at which time the contributions are recognized as revenue. In-kind
contributions are recorded at their fair value when they are received.
k) Statement of Re-measurement Gains and Losses
The school division has not presented a Statement of Re-measurement Gains or
Losses because it does not have financial instruments that give rise to re-
measurement gains or losses.

Information on the multi-employer pension plans to which the School Division
contributes is as follows:
i) Saskatchewan Teachers’ Retirement Plan (STRP) or Saskatchewan Teachers’
Superannuation Plan (STSP):
The STRP and STSP provide retirement benefits based on length of service and
pensionable earnings.
The STRP and STSP are funded by contributions by the participating employee
members and the Province of Saskatchewan. The School Division’s obligation to
the STRP and STSP is limited to collecting and remitting contributions of the
employees at rates determined by the plans. Accordingly, these financial
statements do not include any expense for employer contributions to these plans.
Net pension assets or liabilities for these plans are not reflected in these financial
statements as ultimate responsibility for retirement benefits rests with the
Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation for the STRP and with the Province of
Saskatchewan for the STSP.

18. ACCOUNTING CHANGES
PS 3260 Liability for Contaminated Sites
On September 1, 2013, the school division adopted the new PS3260 Liability for
Contaminated Sites standard. This section establishes standards on how to account
for and report a liability associated with the remediation of contaminated sites.
Contaminated sites are a result of contamination being introduced into air, soil,
water or sediment of a chemical, organic or radioactive material or live organism
that exceeds the maximum acceptable concentrations under an environmental
standard. A liability for remediation of contaminated sites is recognized when all of
the following criteria are met:
an environmental standard exists;
contamination exceeds the environmental standard;
the school division:
o directly responsible; or
o accepts responsibility
the school division expects that future economic benefits will be given up;
and
a reasonable estimate of the amount can be made.
The adoption of the new PS3260 standard has not resulted in any changes to the
measurement and recognition of liabilities in the school division’s 2014 financial
statements.
19. RISK MANAGEMENT
The school division is exposed to financial risks from its financial assets and
liabilities. These risks include credit risk, liquidity risk, market risk and interest rate
risk.
a) Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk to the school division from potential non-payment of
accounts receivable. The credit risk related to the school division's receivables
from the provincial government, federal government and their agencies are
considered to be minimal. The school division does not have a significant
exposure to any individual customer. Management reviews accounts receivable
on a case by case basis to determine if a valuation allowance is necessary to
reflect impairment in collectability.

19. RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)
The aging of accounts receivable at August 31, 2014 and August 31, 2013 was:
August 31, 2014 August 31, 2013
Current 1,615,477$ 1,777,264$
Total 1,615,477$ 1,777,264$
Accounts Receivable
b) Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the school division will not be able to meet its
financial obligations as they come due. The school division manages liquidity
risk by maintaining adequate cash balances and budget practices. The following
table sets out the contractual maturities of the school division’s financial
liabilities:
Within
6 months

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities 3,360,924$ 56,886$ 191,635$ -

Total 3,667,105$ 363,067$ 2,158,866$ 6,722,653$
August 31, 2014
c) Market Risk
The school division is exposed to market risks with respect to interest rates as
follows:
Interest Rate Risk:
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial
instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The school
division’s interest rate exposure relates to cash and cash equivalents and
portfolio investments. The school division also has an authorized bank line of
credit of $1,500,000 with interest payable monthly at a rate of prime plus 1% per
annum. Changes in the bank's prime rate can cause fluctuation in interest
payments and cash flows. There was no balance outstanding on this credit
facility as of August 31, 2014.
The school division minimizes these risks by:
holding cash in an account at a Canadian bank, denominated in Canadian
currency
investing in GICs and term deposits for short terms at fixed interest rates
managing cash flows to minimize utilization of its bank line of credit
managing its interest rate risk on long-term debt through the exclusive
use of fixed rate terms for its long-term debt
