:: A word from the Administrator ::
During the 2010-2011 school year, we took on important challenges to reach our targets related to government
budget restrictions and to prepare teaching personnel for the application of the major changes to the Basic
School Regulations that came into effect on July 1, 2011. The School Board respected its obligations without any
interference in student services.
The Littoral School Board experienced a year of administrative and organizational stability in that there was little
turnover in administrative and school staff. This continuity ensures the delivery of quality services to students and
communities.
In this annual report, we will review the actions and activities of all of our schools and our administrative services. We
want to congratulate the students for their success and thank the parents and all of our personnel for their contribution
to the success of our young people and adults. Without the professional commitment of our personnel, none of this would
have been possible.
Thank you and enjoy your reading!

:: Description of the Commission scolaire du Littoral ::
Founded in 1967, the Commission scolaire du Littoral holds
a special status. It is characterized by the fact that it is not a
linguistic school board. It is administered by an administrator
(who is appointed by the Lieutenant Governor in Council) who
replaces school commissioners and the director general.
The Commission scolaire du Littoral offers general education
services to youth and adults, as well as, vocational training
opportunities.
Located along the Lower North Shore of the Gulf of the SaintLawrence, its 400-kilometre territory includes ten Englishspeaking villages and four French-speaking villages from
Kegaska to Blanc-Sablon, including Port-Menier (Anticosti
Island), with village populations ranging from 100 to 1,000
inhabitants.

:: Commission scolaire du Littoral CLCs ::
The Community Learning Center (CLC) initiative in Quebec was created by the Minister of Education in 2007, funded largely by the Québec-Canada Entente and
supported by MELS’ Anglophone Services (SSCAAA). In 2010-2011, the Commission scolaire du Littoral supported Community Learning Centers established in three
of its schools along the Lower North Shore of Québec.
Through partnerships and with local support, the CLCs found in La Tabatiere, Chevery and St-Paul have become well-established, taking into account the needs and
interests of the respective school communities within which they serve, and reflecting strong local culture.
Throughout 2010-2011, efforts continued on the part of the Community Learning Centers to work in tandem in expanding their partnership network across the region
and in providing greater shared access to local, regional, provincial and national resources. While still maintaining strong local identities, the CLCs have become
mutually supportive and work towards the common aim of long-term sustainability.
In addition, the Centers strive to maintain quality services while extending opportunities beyond the three Lower North Shore communities from which they serve.
Expansion, both within those communities and across the territories, will continue into 2011-2012.
