Safe Schools
Sir Arthur Currie Public School
2026-2027 Safe and Inclusive School Plan
Our school is committed to providing all students with a safe, caring, and inclusive learning environment free from bullying and harassment that promotes respect, acceptance, and empathy.
Staff, students, parents and caregivers, and community partners will work together as a team to help make our school safe and welcoming for everyone.
The Safe and Inclusive School Plan highlights some of the key actions that our school community will put in place as part of our bullying prevention and intervention efforts.
Key Priorities and Goals
This year we are focusing on strengthening healthy relationships.
We are doing this to improve positive student interactions by acknowledging and celebrating the similarities and differences among us.
Key Actions or Strategies
- Facilitate workshops with staff and students on restorative practices.
- Celebrate random acts of kindness within the school community and beyond (e.g. Coyote Paw
Acknowledgements for Acts of Kindness, adult modelling) - Engaging with our community partners and families about the importance of fostering an
inclusive school community with access to support resources (e.g. hosting a Community
Culture Event, including support resources at Meet the Families such as Fox Hollow Family
Centre, London Public Library, City of London Recreation, Boys & Girls Club).
Community and Home Connections
- Ask your child about this month’s character education focus.
- Try encouraging your child to use their voice to amplify the positives of diversity, inclusion, and
equity. - Check out this video about the focus and purpose of restorative practices.

The Safe Schools and Well-Being portfolio collaborates to support staff through Tier-1, evidence-based practices. These foundational practices establish safety, connection, and regulation, which are essential conditions for learning. Through this important work, a deep understanding of students and relationships will foster the positive climate necessary for student well-being and achievement.
Developing a Safe and Inclusive Culture
Under the direction and guidance of the Ministry of Education (Policy/Program Memorandum No. 144 (PPM144), our School Board is committed to supporting schools to create and maintain positive school climates.
The Thames Valley District School Board would like to introduce the Safe and Inclusive School Plan (SISP). This plan replaces the former Bullying Prevention and Intervention Plan (BPIP), and the Safe and Accepting School Plan. This plan will be completed annually by every elementary and secondary school in the Thames Valley District School Board.
This important work is facilitated at the school-level by a school-based team. This team is composed of students, family members, teachers, support staff, community partners, and the principal and/or vice principal. The Safe and Inclusive School Team meets several times throughout the school year. During this time, school teams will identify one local priority, and create a plan to support the identified goal. As the plan is implemented throughout the year, the Safe and Inclusive School team will continuously support these goals and monitor the results.
