Harmony Squad
The Harmony Squad is a group of students who believe that each student has the right to learn and play in a bully free school. This translates into encouraging bystanders to stand up and say no to those who are mistreating others. The Harmony Squad has weekly meetings and welcomes any new members who also share the same vision. The students promote this message through a variety of activities, posters, skits, and other creative and entertaining avenues.

The SRC is very active within the school community. It is in charge of events such as Spirit Days and school dances, and fundraisers. This body of students both acquire and demonstrate important leadership skills for our school.
Safety Patrol
The grade six students are our senior students and as such are expected to be good role models. We give grade six students a variety of responsibilities and privileges including Safety Patrol.

Assemblies are an opportunity to recognize a student's individual accomplishments through classroom awards.
