The Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) program centers on five core competencies: Self-Awareness, Self-Management, Social Awareness, Relationship Skills, and Responsible Decision-Making. There are three dedicated SEL sessions each week, supported by an SEL supervisor who oversees implementation to ensure a nurturing and supportive environment. The curriculum is updated regularly and integrated across subjects to reinforce social and emotional growth. Progress is tracked through trimester-based SEL surveys and reports, with a Senior SEL Team providing student leadership. The program also includes the Good In Me initiative for Grades 1–8, the Good Points Application to encourage participation, and CCR-related guidance through Difference Makers and related activities.
The Advisory System aims to enhance social, emotional, and physical well-being. It fosters supportive mentor–student relationships and provides personalized guidance through home connections and ongoing mentorship. The system emphasizes activities and programs that contribute to personal growth and well-being, including student leadership opportunities and cross-curricular integration. It supports social and emotional development as part of the SIS Competencies, with a focus on holistic well-being. The advisory framework includes ongoing monitoring of well-being through home connections, clubs, and leadership opportunities to promote resilience and healthy habits.
The school maintains a safeguarding framework centered on a Code of Conduct and Common Agreement designed to safeguard children and all school community members. All members are required to take reasonable precautions to protect the safety and well-being of students from bullying, neglect, and abuse, including physical, emotional, or sexual abuse. Staff and adults must respond to suspected abuse, remove students from immediate danger, and report concerns in line with mandatory reporting requirements. The policy applies to all employees, volunteers, board members, students, parents and guardians, chaperones, visitors, and contractors. The policy is distributed to applicants and parents annually and is supported by internal handbooks and safeguarding procedures, including background checks for staff.
