Safe, Caring, and Inclusive School Community

Bullying prevention continues to be a focus at our school. The Bullying Prevention Initiative is a program developed and facilitated by Peel Public Health. It is a comprehensive school wide program that emphasizes a positive school climate, challenges bullying behaviour of all school community members and is rooted in a collaborative partnership of school staff, students, parents and community members. The program is based on international research and recommendations.

The St. John the Baptist School Bullying Prevention Steering Committee made up of our public health nurse, students, parents, and staff meets regularly to work on a variety of activities designed to promote awareness of bullying and to provide educational opportunities for students, parents and staff around strategies to reduce the incidences of bullying at our school.
