Graduating students across Newfoundland and Labrador are being recognized for their leadership and engagement in initiatives aimed at building and nurturing safe, caring and inclusive school communities.

The Provincial Government is providing $6,500 shared among 13 students through the Safe, Caring and Inclusive Schools Graduating Student Leadership Bursary. A list of recipients for 2022 is provided in the backgrounder below.

The Safe, Caring and Inclusive Schools Graduating Student Leadership Bursary acknowledges the contributions of youth in establishing and maintaining safe, caring and inclusive schools and communities, and to promote student awareness of the Safe and Caring Schools Policy.

The Safe and Caring Schools Policy establishes school-based protocols and practices that promote an environment of acceptance, belonging, and respect.

The Provincial Government encourages 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.
