When student behaviours interfere with the rights of others to learn or to feel safe and
respected, school staff will respond by providing learning supports, strategies, and/or
consequences. There responses will take into account the student’s age, maturity, and
individual circumstances. Responses provide support for students who are impacted by the
inappropriate behavior as well as for students who engage in inappropriate behavior.
