Everyone is treated with respect and with dignity. Students meet Christ sacramentally in school liturgies and in the retreat program, and come to know the mind of Christ in religion class. Our code of behaviour sets forth behaviours and responsibility for all students and indicates consequences of inappropriate behaviour. The teacher-advisor program helps grade 9 students with their transition to high school. A safe and welcoming learning environment is ensured for all.
