Key Findings. I wanted to prove to my Grandpa that I could graduate and I wanted “ a better life for my son and my partner. Graduate from Saanichton Learning Centre Evidence demonstrates: • A steady decline throughout the high school years in grade-to-grade transition; • A significant struggle in grade 9 Math and grade 10 English to meet target for course pass rates. • When Saanich calculates the adjusted 6 year Dogwood completion rate for our district (see First Nations 6 Year Completion Rate Adjusted Page 15), the district results meet or slightly exceed provincial results for the first time; • Consistent daily attendance in elementary, middle and secondary school significantly increases likelihood of student graduation from high school; and • Chronic absenteeism in elementary, middle and secondary school significantly decreases course completion and the likelihood of graduation from high school.
