Stand Up Against Bulling Day is September 11
On the second Thursday of September, we recognize Stand Up Against Bullying Day.
On Thursday, September 11, we will celebrate inclusivity, kindness and friendship. All HRCE school teams are focused on ensuring all students have a safe and welcoming environment in which to learn and thrive.
Please join us and wear pink if you’re able on September 11 to take a stand against bullying.
Join us in observing National Day for Truth and Reconciliation
Each year on September 30, National Day for Truth and Reconciliation honours the children who didn't return from residential schools, as well as survivors, their families, and communities.
Orange Shirt Day, led by Indigenous communities, aims to raise awareness about the inter-generational impacts of residential schools and allows us all to show our support for the Every Child Matters movement.
As there are no classes on Monday, September 29 and Tuesday, September 30, we welcome staff and students to wear orange on Friday, September 26.
