Bulldog Bulletin December 9-13, 2024
We have our first anti-bullying workshop scheduled for Wednesday afternoon with our Junior students. Junior and Intermediate students (in January) will rotate through 3 hands-on learning workshops to build empathy and encourage kindness. The activities are meant to elicit thoughtful reflection and greater understanding of the impact of bullying. Ontario's provincial legislation defines bullying as: repeated aggressive behaviour by a student where the behaviour is intended to have the effect of, or the student ought to know that the behaviour would be likely to have the effect of, causing harm, fear or distress to another individual. We want to ensure that Sunnybrae is a safe and welcoming school for everyone.
