Safe Schools

Ashley Oaks
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, our Safe and Inclusive School Plan focuses on proactively teaching students the skills they need to succeed while strengthening a sense of belonging and positive school culture. By emphasizing self-regulation, problem-solving, and strong relationships, we aim to support students in making positive choices, feeling connected to their school community, and contributing to an environment rooted in respect, empathy, and shared responsibility.

·      Strengthening school-wide approaches that promote respectful behaviour, positive interactions, and a sense of belonging across all learning spaces.

·     Using preventatitive and relationship based practices to support students before challenges arise, while responding to concerns with care, fairness, and clear expectations.

·     Providing supportive spaces where students can pause, reflect, and re‑engage in learning when they are ready.

Community and Home Connections

·   Talk with your child about what helps them feel included, supported, and successful at school

·       Model respectful communication at home by practising active listening, empathy, and problem-solving dyring everyday conversations.

·       Use simple check‑in questions with your child, such as: “What made you feel proud today?” “What helped you when something felt tricky?” “Who did you help today?”

·       Consider connecting your child with community programs, recreation activities, or clubs that support confidence‑building, teamwork, and positive social skills.
