Safe Schools Policy

The Ottawa Catholic School Board (OCSB) supports the provision of a safe and orderly environment within its schools in accordance with the provisions of the Education Act, Ministry of Education policies and the provincial Code of Conduct.

All school members will adhere to the following standards of behaviour:

1. Respect and comply with all federal, provincial and municipal laws.
2. Demonstrate honesty and integrity.
3. Respect the differences in people, their ideas and opinions.
4. Treat one another and staff with respect, fairness and dignity at all times, especially when there is disagreement.
5. Respect and treat others, regardless of, for example, race, ancestry, place of origin, colour, ethnic origin, citizenship, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age, or disability.
6. Respect the rights of others.
7. Show the proper care and regard for school property and the property of others.
8. Take appropriate measures to help those in need.
9. Seek assistance from a member of the school staff, if necessary, to resolve conflict peacefully.
10. Respect all members of the school community, especially persons in a position of authority.
11. Respect the need of others to work in an environment that is conducive to learning and teaching.
12. Do not swear at a teacher or at another person in a position of authority.
13. Alcohol or drug use will not be tolerated at school.

The standards of behaviour as outlined in the provincial Code of Conduct apply to all members of the school community – students, parents/guardians, teachers or other staff members, volunteers and visitors.
Students 18 or older are considered adults, so the procedures of the Criminal Code will be followed if students are charged with a criminal offence.
Video surveillance systems are installed at our school for the security and safety of all students and staff.
