The Provincial Government is partnering with School Sports NL to launch the Safe Sport in Education course for NLSchools student athletes in grades 7-12. The Safe Sport in Education course is locally developed and designed to equip students with the knowledge and tools to foster safer, more respectful sporting environments within their schools.
Starting this month, all NLSchools student athletes will be required to complete the Safe Sport in Education course and submit their course completion certificate along with a signed NLSchools and School Sports NL Athletic Contract in order to join team activities. The course will be available through the Centre for Distance Learning and Innovation (CDLI).
As this is the Year of Sport, this initiative aims to promote key values such as teamwork, good sportsmanship, ethics, inclusion, and safety in athletic programs in Newfoundland and Labrador.
The Provincial Government supports opportunities to recognize and celebrate the many benefits of participating in school athletics. From fostering lifelong friendships to encouraging physical and mental well-being, sports play a vital role in schools and communities.
