The CBE's progress toward achieving the outcomes of Ends 4: Personal Development is summarized in the latest monitoring report submitted to Trustees on May 5, 2009.
The five Ends were developed by the Board of Trustees to serve as a system-wide vision for CBE students. Each year, these five goals are carefully monitored and measured by CBE administrators who provide an annual update to the Board of Trustees. The report includes individual student and systemic results, and examples of student programs, activities and school events.
On May 5, 2009, the Ends 4: Personal Development report was presented to the Board of Trustees. The presentation included a short video highlighting personal development opportunities offered within some of our schools. The Ends 4 video captures three school stories of our students striving to reach their highest personal potential.

A Grade 12 student comment from the High School Exit Survey:
My CBE school experience has given me the foundation towards further education. It has also enabled me to develop valuable skills which I can apply to my life in general. I have developed and refined communication skills and leadership abilities. However what is most important is the work ethic and responsibility I have developed in the process. I am now much more prepared for a life of hard work and dedication.
