Applications are now being accepted for the Safe, Caring and Inclusive Schools Graduating Student Leadership Bursary.
The bursary awards a $500 tuition voucher for post-secondary education to graduating students who showed leadership in establishing and maintaining safe, caring and inclusive school communities.
The deadline for submissions is May 20. More information on the bursary, including the application, can be found here or by emailing sisstudentawards@nlesd.ca.
The Safe and Caring Schools Policy helps to establish school-based protocols and practices that challenge all forms of bullying, harassment, and inappropriate behaviour and create an environment of acceptance, belonging, respect and empathy.
The Provincial Government promotes an inclusive and welcoming school culture, where all members of the school community feel accepted, are able to realize their potential and contribute to the school community.
