Counsellor's Corner
Based on student data, from the June 2022 school-created Safe, Caring, and Welcoming survey, staff had the opportunity to collaborate and identified possible solutions to address the areas of need gathered from the results of the survey. Solutions included: bathroom refresh with inspirational and welcoming signage, bi-monthly school wide spirit assemblies, hat friday's, cultural heritage displays, celebrations and kindness week in February. Our school has also received funding to have hallway cameras installed in select locations within the school as part of an enhanced security system to decrease the incidence of vandalism and graffiti. This camera system is set to be installed the week of January 31 - Feb 3.
To enhance Circle of Courage recognition, a positive behavior response ticket program was started, wherein staff can nominate students for exemplifying the attributes (Independence, Generosity, Belonging, Mastery) as they witness them. Additionally, weekly and monthly draws will recognize students in front of the school community and term recognition will continue to take place with a lunch for grade level nominated students.
