At the Chignecto-Central Regional School Board (CCRSB), we know the only way to address bullying in all its forms is to start talking about it. That`s why every year we host Stand Up. Speak Out., CCRSB’s board-wide day of action promoting social justice, anti- bullying and positive, healthy relationships. It is important to recognize the complexity of bullying, so in the last couple of years a deeper conversation about social justice has emerged as an important piece of Stand Up. Speak Out. This has proven to be an important topic with our students, and led to the theme of this year's event: What's Your Story? This is a fitting theme because it is through our stories that we know each other; it is through our stories that we build rela- tionships and empathy; and it is through our stories that we can more deeply understand the pillars of social justice. What it all comes down to is that if we know someone's story, we are more likely to treat them with respect and understanding. During the 2017 Stand Up. Speak Out. We discussed how we interact with each other, how we treat one another and how we deal with feelings of anger and unhappiness. By talking about these things, we are helping to create a healthy learning environment for all of our students. “What it all comes down to is that if we know someone's story, we are more likely to treat them with respect and under- standing.” - CCRSB North Nova Education Centre SEPTEMBER 2017 343 Park Street, New Glasgow, NS B2H 6B2 Phone: 902-755-8180 Fax: 902-755-8185 Principal: Ann Findlay Vice Principal: Mark Arbuckle & Keah Callaghan Reporting a Student Absence If you have a question or A student is required to provide excuses for all classes for which they are absent.
