2013-2014
This year, as in past years, the Native
Advisor and Aboriginal Teacher
Consultant K-12 worked closely with
Director of Education and responsible
for the Aboriginal portfolio John
Forbeck and concentrated our efforts
to improve the achievement levels
of the First Nation, Métis, and Inuit
students in the Board. We worked
as part of a team of system staff who
develop and implement the Annual
Board Improvement Plan. Staff are
part of a team who plan and work
together with staff from Elementary
program, Student Success/Secondary
Program, Special Education staff and
the Mental Health Lead to help support
and meet the needs of Six Nations
students. The Aboriginal Education
Department addressed many of the
goals and objectives in the first three
year department plan 2011-2014 (First
Nation, Métis, and Inuit Aboriginal
Education Plan). The plan addresses
four areas: Achievement, Engagement,
Environment, and Advocacy. The goals
outlined in the plan included:
• Enhance resource funding
for Native Studies and Native
Language Programs/Courses
• Support Six Nations students
transitioning from one school to
another to strengthen and ensure
seamless service for all students,
including students with special
needs
• Evaluate existing alternative
education programs to effectively
increase success rates of Six
Nations students
• Build capacity in schools to ensure
the continued implementation of
initiatives and activities that are
culturally relevant for Six Nations
students and engaging for all
students
2
• Develop outreach initiatives to
engage parents of Six Nations
students
• Create board partnerships with
local Six Nations community
organizations
• Invitation to include Six Nations
Elementary Principals in selected
GEDSB Director meetings
Staff began working on a new three year
department plan (2015-2018) in June and
plan to complete the planning process
by December 2014 with implementation
beginning in January 2015.
Congratulations is extended to Caroline
VanEvery-Albert on the arrival of her
new baby girl in January 2014. The
Aboriginal Education Department
welcomed Andrea Hyslop as the
Aboriginal Teacher Consultant in
March. There were many initiatives that
were assisted by the Native Advisor and
Director of Education, together with
system staff.
The Aboriginal Education Department
continued to financially support school
and community based projects. We
remained involved in the planning and
facilitation of projects at the school
level, such as Aboriginal Awareness
Days, Mentor Projects, Pen Pal Project,
Teacher Professional Development
and Cultural curriculum workshops
for students and the provision of
supply coverage and transportation
costs for students to attend a number
of community and school sponsored
educational activities.

during 2013-2014 year included;
• Completion of an Aboriginal Affairs

Message from
the Native Trustee
I.L.A. Turning Point
hool Bo
District Sc
The Native staff members of the Grand
Erie District School Board continue to
do exemplary work in advocating for
our Tuition Agreement students. The
work of the dedicated staff is greatly
appreciated. Advances have been
made this year in securing a signed
Tuition Agreement after months of
meeting and negotiating. Special
thanks to John Forbeck, Jamie Gunn
and Deneen Montour for providing
much of the supporting documentation
and analysis that showed the efficacy
of the changes needed to better support
our students. We received support
to hire a Native Language teacher
and other support staff to assist in our
Compensatory School’s that have a
high First Nations student attendance.
It is hoped that the Native Language
program will continue to grow within
our Board. It is the one thing that our
Tuition students have constantly asked
for in our Native Advisory Committee
meeting over the years that I have been
the Native Trustee.

Grand Erie’s Aboriginal
Education Department
hosts Tomson Highway as
part of Grand Erie Equity
Speakers Series
The GEDSB Aboriginal Education
department was pleased to provide
an Aboriginal guest in May as
part of the Equity Speaker Series.
The presentation was entitled;
“Listening to Each other on Racial
Diversity: An Evening with Tomson
Highway”.
A traditional meal of cornsoup
and scone was served while Tomson mingled with staff
of the Board before beginning his presentation. Tomson
conveyed the importance of respecting one another’s
cultures and focused mainly on the respect of learning
another person’s language. His insightful messages were
done honestly and with a great deal of humour which had
the audience laughing and interacting in the presentation
throughout the evening. Tomson shared many facets of his
life, including his time in a residential school, his young
love of music, his world-wide traveling experiences and
his joy of sharing his culture.
Tomson Highway is an author, playwright and musician.
He was born in a snowbank on Maria Lake, Manitoba,
close to the Nunavut border. Tomson was the 11th child
in a family of 12 children. He grew up in a home without
TV or radio and relied on the great oral traditions of
storytelling for entertainment. Tomson went to a residential
school when he was six where he learned how to speak
English and French and play the piano. Tomson travelled
to London, England to pursue his dream of becoming a
concert pianist. When he returned to Ontario, Tomson
earned a BA in music from the University of Western
Ontario. He worked as a social
worker for seven years until he
began getting critical acclaim
for his writing. Two of his plays
“The Rez Sisters” and “Dry Lips
Oughta Move to Kapuskasing”
made Tomson Highway a
household name.

OFSAA Boys Field Lacrosse
Championship hosted by
Grand Erie’s Hagersville
Secondary School
This year’s OFSAA Boys
Field Lacrosse Festival
Championship was
hosted by Hagersville
Secondary School,
in the neighboring
community of Six
Nations. Well planned
and well executed,
the day began
with a ceremonial
speech by Jock Hill
on the Ohsweken
Sports Fields. His speech and appraisal of
the game and its players was respectively heard by all
in attendance. Dressed and ready to play, the first game
commenced with ground shaking zeal. With the arrival
of warm weather, many visitors including students and
family arrived to view and cheer on the players. As the
day went on, an air of athleticism and triumph seemed
to shine over the area. The first day culminated in a
celebratory banquet to honour the participants for their
accomplishment in earning a spot at the OFSAA Festival.
The Banquet featured first speaker, Jock Hill, who shared
how the Creator’s Game was brought to the people and
the purpose of the game. A highly inspirational speech
on how to succeed as a student-athlete was delivered
by HSS alumni, Delby Powless Jr. A special gift was
offered to Kathy Smith, former HSS staff member, to
acknowledge her work in starting the first HSS Boys
Field lacrosse team 20 years ago. The second day of
the OFSAA tournament brought anticipation of the
championship game. With great strength and effort, the
McKinnon Park Secondary School Blue Devils defeated
the St. Stephen’s Royals by one goal, scoring the final
victorious shot in the last minute of the game to secure
their place as the 2014 gold medal winners. With the
help of many community volunteers, staff and students,
OFSAA was an extreme success for all.

Credit Accumulation by Cohort
This graph shows data for cohorts beginning in Grade 9, in 2010,
2011, and 2012 and follows the same cohort of students as they pass
through each grade.
Ideally, students should be getting 8 credits per year and this graph
shows the percentage of Grade 9 students who achieved 8/8 credits.
The percentage of Grade 10 students who achieved 16/16 credits and
the percentage of Grade 11 students who achieved 24/24 credits for
each Cohort in successive years.
Trend Data:
• Over the last three years, less than 53% of Grade 9 Six Nations
students achieved 8/8 Credits
• 7% - 20% of those that achieved 8/8 in Grade 9, achieved
16/16 in Grade 10
• Although the 2009-10 Cohort shows that 21% of Grade 11
students are achieving 24/24 credits, which is 1% higher than
the Grade 10 year, the actual number of students is smaller.
• The number of students getting all 8 credits in any given
academic year continues to decrease
