Purpose:                                                                                                                  

At Strathcona, we work hard to maintain a safe, secure and productive learning environment.  A student’s right and responsibility to learn, and a teacher’s right and responsibility to teach are defended and protected.  Students are expected to demonstrate by their actions and understanding of appropriate behavior.

Strathcona school promotes the values expressed in the BC Human Rights Code respecting the rights of all individuals in accordance with the law, - prohibiting discrimination based on race, colour, ancestry, place of origin, religion, marital status, family status, physical or mental disability, sex or sexual orientation – in respect of discriminatory publication and discrimination in accommodation, service and facility in the school environment.

These expectations apply to behaviour at school, during school-organized or sponsored activities, and other circumstances where engaging in the activity (including on-line behaviour) will negatively impact the safe, caring and orderly environment of the school, and/or student learning.
