Mediation Station
The Mediation Station is a safe place for all students. With the help of our social aid technicians and behaviour / life skills coach, students can find support and counselling for whatever they are going through. Whether through anti-bullying initiatives, crisis intervention, or social skills training, the Mediation Station staff work closely with school staff and administrators to ensure that all students enjoy a safe and secure environment.
Protocols for students to report incidents which violate emotional and/or physical safety:
- In person, students can talk to someone they trust and feel comfortable with which may include a parent, friend, staff member - just to open a dialogue. If this person is a staff member, please know that they are legally obliged to report the incident via the Mediation Station and the school administration, so a form will be filled out.
- Online, here below, students can fill out their own incident report. Please click on the type of incident being reported and fill out and send the form.
Report Bullying
Bullying is complex and includes many different aspects of intimidation, violence, and victimization which are repeated over time. It includes planned actions to create fear and/or harm another person, and can be emotional, physical, and/or verbal; it also includes cyberbullying if it is done online. Bullying is not a random act of misbehaviour, an accident or an isolated incident, such as a conflict, that may affect a person adversely at one time.
