Highlights
Curricular and Community Integration
We continuously seek opportunities to weave discussion about diversity, inclusion, and belonging in our classrooms and in community forums such as assembly and Mentor Group.
Indigenous themes are woven into art classes in all school divisions. We partner with local organizations such as Indigenize Our Minds, an outreach program that supplements learning with lessons in Indigenous culture and history.
In our English classes, themes of racial inequality and bias are explored in many of the literary works that are studied.
School assemblies are held to honour Black History Month, Holocaust Education Week and Pride Week to name just a few. Students are given the opportunity to reflect on these topics and explore them more deeply in Mentor Group settings.
We hold regular staff and student education sessions to address awareness of, and sensitivity to issues of diversity, equity and inclusion. We invite speakers who share their life experiences as part of Black History Month and Gay Pride. Panel discussions with students from our Black Student Alliance are held to better understand their experience as people of colour in our community. Staff participate in sensitivity workshops including a recent workshop with Rachael Flores, Director of Diversity and Multicultural Education at National Cathedral School in Washington, DC. on topics of implicit bias and racial identity.
