Applications are now being accepted for the Safe, Caring and Inclusive Schools Graduating Student Leadership Bursary.
The bursary awards a $500 tuition voucher for post-secondary education to graduating students who have shown leadership in establishing and maintaining safe, caring and inclusive school communities.
The Provincial Government awards up to 15 Safe, Caring and Inclusive Schools Graduating Student Leadership Bursaries each year. The deadline for submissions is May 10, 2024. More information on the bursary, including the application, can be found here.
Applications must be sent to sisstudentawards@nlschools.ca for schools under NLSchools. For schools under the Conseil scolaire francophone provincial de Terre-Neuve et Labrador, applications can be emailed to pbourdeau@csfp.nl.ca.
The Safe and Caring Schools Policy helps to establish school-based protocols and practices that challenge all forms of bullying, harassment and inappropriate behaviour and create an environment of acceptance, belonging, respect and empathy.
The Provincial Government promotes an inclusive and welcoming school culture, where all members of the school community feel accepted, are able to realize their potential and contribute to the school community.

"Our graduating students, who choose to share their educational experiences as they reflect on the past year, provide valuable knowledge as we continue to strengthen safe, caring and inclusive school communities in Newfoundland and Labrador. This bursary recognizes efforts made throughout the school year, and I look forward to learning about this year's recipients."
