Kensal Park French Immersion 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 building healthy relationships through the creation of school-wide Kensal Park Expectations.
We are doing this to improve student well-being, overall academic achievement, and to build relationships.
Key Actions or Strategies
- Facilitating collaborative opportunities between grade levels to help build healthy relationships for both staff and students.
- Engaging with our community partners and families/guardians to continue to foster healthy relationships in all capacities.
- Acknowledging positive acts that build healthy relationships within the school community and beyond with our Cardinal Wings and through monthly assemblies.Community and Home Connections
Community and Home Connections
- Ask your child about one thing they did throughout the day that they are proud of.
- At home, try encouraging your child/children to use their voice for advocacy and to practice positive affirmations about themselves and their peers.
- Check out this resource Stop It, Name It about speaking up and being a supportive ally.
This 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 the 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.
