The school states that students and staff are entitled to a safe, caring, and orderly environment, and it uses PBIS to support positive, predictable, and safe learning spaces. The code of conduct lists behaviours that will not be tolerated (including bullying/cyberbullying, harassment, threats, weapons, and substance-related behaviours) and affirms that discrimination is prohibited under BC Human Rights Code grounds (including race, religion, disability, sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity/expression). Students are encouraged to resolve conflicts using W.I.T.S. and to take responsibility for their behaviour.
