Our Beliefs

We spent much of September coming up with our class beliefs. Students engaged in activities that showed their strengths as learners (multiple intelligences) and completed teamwork activities to explore what it means to be part of a strong group.

Our beliefs are now posted at the front of the room. These were created by students by exploring their responses to questions such as, "What kind of teacher do you want? What do students in 5-21 have to do every day to make sure class runs smoothly? School is important because ___" and so on.

We use these beliefs to guide our behaviour.

Le respect et la joie sont les règles du jeu. Respect and fun are the names of the game.

Nous améliorons notre français en le pratiquant autant que possible. We become better French speakers by practicing as much as possible.

Nous avons tous le droit d'apprendre. We all have the right to learn.

Ici, nous sommes en sécurité. Nous avons une tolérance zéro pour l'intimidation. We are safe in this class. We have zero tolerance for bullying behaviour.
