Student's safety and sports

For the protection of your child, the Ministry of Education has mandated that every student that wishes to try out for a specific sport must have his/her parent and/or guardian complete the following forms prior to team tryouts:

• Player Code of Conduct form;
• Active and Safe Pledge form; and
• Parent Sports Risk Consent form.

Concussion

We are committed to the safety of our students. Head injuries can happen at any time, including during non-sporting activities. When a head injury occurs at school, we take this matter very seriously. 

There are specific steps followed by our school staff, students and parents in the event of a suspected or medically diagnosed concussion whether it happened at school or in the community. If a suspicious injury to the head or body occurs at school or a school event, an assessment checklist is completed by our staff to determine if any signs or symptoms of concussion are present. The checklist then illustrates which steps to follow next. All students with a suspected concussion are required to seek medical attention the same day as injury occurs. 

Learn more about our Concussion Protocol and the steps to be completed by parents and guardians of students who have been medically diagnosed with a concussion.
