SOCIAL, CULTURAL, EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Services and activities in the quadrant Social, Cultural, Emotional Development help students become well-rounded individuals both in how they manage themselves and their relationships with others.

As students develop competency in social, cultural, and emotional awareness, they will uplift the values of kindness and respect, embracing diversity with compassion and care for those around them. In doing so, students will learn to manage their thoughts, behaviours, and reactions effectively and thoughtfully in different contexts and settings, which will drive meaningful relationships in their lives.
