SAFE, CARING & INCLUSIVE SCHOOLS

Safe, purposeful, and powerful learning environments require the enduring understandings that inclusion is a basic human right, diversity is a strength that benefits everyone, and personalization is essential. The Cowichan School District strives to ensure that all students, staff, and families feel safe, welcome, and valued in all schools and work environments across the district.

In addition to the resources listed below from the Ministry of Education and SOGI123, the Cowichan District has Policies and Administrative Procedures that guide our work on inclusion and diversity.

• Policy 25 – Identity, Belonging and Connection
• AP 169 – Identity, Belonging and Connection
• AP 170 – Diversity and Anti-Discrimination
• AP 173 – Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity and Gender Expression
