A formal code of behaviour, which will also reinforce expectations is being cooperatively developed by teachers, students and parents. Provincial standards are being defined to assist in evaluating student progress. Locally, we have undertaken initiatives in our science, problem-solving and technological studies programs in order to meet the needs of our students. As part of our resolve to enhance technological education and computer literacy, there has been ongoing staff in-service, the acquisition of new equipment and increased emphasis on computer skills. To help meet the needs of individual students, teachers modify programs within the regular class, consult with other staff and meet with resource personnel assigned to the school.
Special programs support students with particular needs.
Peer coaching and adult volunteers are additional techniques used in remedial support. Formally identified gifted students attend a special one day a week enrichment program. Our school develops students who also grow in their physical abilities. Opportunities are available for participation in soccer, softball, basketball, volleyball, hockey, cross-country running, track and field events, and house leagues. The love of music is celebrated at our school.
