Director of Education, Mr. Bob Smith



Message from the Director,

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome everyone back to Creighton School Division for the 2013-2014 school year. I am starting my third year in Creighton School Division and I am looking forward to supporting the Board and the school staff in meeting the needs of our school community.

Creighton Community School is an excellent school that does its best to meet the needs of all students. Students in our school division tell us they feel safe and comfortable at school, and that they are not judged or treated unfairly. This positive relationship that our staff has with our students is a great asset in our efforts to improve student achievement in our school.

This summer I attended the LEADS summer conference where we were addressed by the new Deputy Minister of Education, Mr. Dan Florizone. Mr. Florizone was previously the Deputy Minister of Health where he was very successful in implementing an initiative called “Patients First” that improved the continuum of surgical services for Saskatchewan residents. The entire education sector in the province will benefit from Mr. Florizone’s expertise as we move forward with our efforts to improve student achievement.

These are exciting times in Education. The Ministry of Education will be developing a focused strategic plan that will involve stakeholder input at all levels. I look forward to these challenges as we engage in a “Students First” initiative aimed at providing our graduates with the skills and knowledge they need to be successful in society.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions related to the operation of the division.
