Celebration Time, Come On!

A Vibrant School Community
A lot is happening these days at Claremont P.S. We have begun the Destination ImagiNation journey! Many of our classes have begun to implement the Destination ImagiNation ideals into their lessons.
Totem Pole Creation
NEW INFORMATION!! We are presently working on a school-wide art project that will involve all of our students and teachers, a local artist and aboriginal leaders from our community. Combining our teachings and lessons from Character Education,Stephen Covey's idealsand the 7 Grandfather aboriginal teachings, our school will be designing and creating a totem pole which will be erected at the front of the school to symbolize our school community and its ideals. This large artistic undertaking will include many voices and ideas from a variety of people and resources.
Code of Conduct
Recent changes to the Safe Schools Act have resulted in upcoming changes to codes of conduct for schools and school boards. Among the most significant changes includes a new provincial definition of bullying: It reads as follows:
"Bullying is typically a form of repeated, persistent, and aggressive behaviour directed at an individual or individuals that is intended to cause (or should be known to cause) fear and distress and/or harm to another person's body, feelings, self-esteem, or reputation. Bullying occurs in a context where there is a real or perceived power imbalance."
