Central to our inclusive school culture is helping students develop strong character. Character education and student achievement is honoured during monthly assemblies. Two students from each core class are recognized for their demonstration of the monthly character trait as well as special presentations to reinforce those traits.
Character education is integrated across the curriculum. Each month we focus on one TDSB character trait (i.e., respect, co-operation, responsibility, teamwork, honesty, kindness and caring, empathy, integrity, fairness and perseverance). Students learn that they can make positive changes in themselves, their school and their community through their daily choices. When students value character, our community is strengthened.
