Safe Schools Initiatives

Conflict resolution skills and strategies are taught and modeled. The Community of Character initiative is taught with a cross-curricular approach to promote good citizenship and foster a positive learning environment. With the assistance of the Western Ottawa community Resource Centre, two programs focusing on building positive relationships, self-esteem, conflict resolution and problem solving have been presented.
