Safe Schools Initiatives
Code of Behaviour:
At Bayshore, we respect and value our differences and we cooperatively create a peaceful place to study and to play. Bayshore's code of behaviour, developed with input from parents, staff, and students, reinforces the belief that “We treat each other the way that we would like others to treat us.” Throughout the year, BPS students are recognized publicly for demonstrating the OCDSB Community of Character attributes which include: acceptance, appreciation, cooperation, empathy, fairness, integrity, optimism, perseverance, respect and responsibility. Students are provided with academic and co-curricular opportunities to practice these values and to develop positive social skills and healthy life styles.
