Catholic Schools promote responsibility, respect, civility, human rights & equity, and academic excellence in a safe and inclusive learning and teaching environment. A positive school climate exists when all stakeholders of the school community feel safe, welcomed, and accepted. As a Catholic School Board, we believe that this environment is achieved when the conduct of all stakeholders upholds the Ontario Human Rights Code and supports the Mission, Vision and Values of the ÄÛÑ¿ÊÓÆµ (HCDSB), in alignment with the Multi-Year Strategic Plan.
In accordance with the Progressive Discipline and Safety in Schools Act, 2007, the Code of Conduct and Standards of Behaviour supports ÄÛÑ¿ÊÓÆµâ€™s Progressive Discipline and Safety in Schools Policy II-39 and Administrative Procedure VI-44 which outlines Suspension and Expulsion Procedures.
