The Provincial Government is recognizing graduating students across Newfoundland and Labrador for their leadership and engagement in initiatives aimed at building and nurturing safe, caring and inclusive school communities.

This year, the province is providing $7,500 through the Safe, Caring and Inclusive Schools Leadership Bursary, shared among 15 students. A list of recipients for 2023 is available in the backgrounder below.

The Safe, Caring and Inclusive Schools Graduating Leadership Bursary helps to establish school-based protocols and practices that challenge all forms of bullying, harassment, and inappropriate behavior, and to create an environment of acceptance, belonging, respect and empathy. The bursary highlights the contributions from youth in establishing and maintaining safe, caring and inclusive schools and communities, and promoting student awareness of the Safe, Caring and Inclusive Schools Policy.

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.
