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 have shown leadership in establishing and maintaining safe, caring and inclusive school communities.
The deadline for submissions is May 15, 2023. More information on the bursary, including the application, can be found here.
Applications must be sent to the Safe and Inclusive Schools itinerant for the applicant’s school that falls under the Newfoundland and Labrador English School District. For schools under the Conseil scolaire francophone provincial de Terre-Neuve et Labrador, applications can be emailed to pbourdeau@csfp.nl.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.
Quote
“I encourage all graduating students to bring forward their experiences as part of reflecting on this past year. Sharing your stories will assist in building safe, caring and inclusive school communities in our province. This bursary recognizes those efforts and I look forward to learning about this year’s recipients.”
