Update: Highlight on School Safety and Bullying Prevention

St. Andrew’s students and staff have participated in a number of bullying prevention initiatives this year aimed at increasing awareness and understanding of bullying and other relationship-based safety issues.

These initiatives include: Bullying Prevention Week; Stand Up Rise Above and The Wave (Prevnet and Family Channel events); Character Development activities; presentation by T.D.S.B. Equity Department; enrolment, conferences, assemblies and other activities with Future Aces; and bullying prevention and school safety surveys by our Empowered Students Partnership committee.
