This award recognizes those who have developed a project or activity that demonstrates leadership and commitment to creating safe and inclusive spaces in schools and communities in Nova Scotia. Twenty-two awards can be given annually, two within each Regional Centre for Education (RCE) and Conseil scolaire acadien provincial (CSAP), two in the Mi’kmaw Kina’matnewey (MK) board, and two African Nova Scotian students from across the province. We recognize our province has a diverse student population, and we strive to be reflective of this.

One will be an individual student award, and the other will be a team award for two or more people (team may include adults). An additional two awards can be given if a student is homeschooled or enrolled in private school and is a successful applicant.To be nominated, youth must be a registered student in Nova Scotia and enrolled in a grade from Primary to 12.

St. Thomas University is hosting a virtual event, Preparing for the Post-secondary Search Process, on Saturday, May 29^th from 10am to 1pm ADT.

The event is designed to help students feel knowledgeable and empowered about the post-secondary search process and, as such, is geared towards students in grade 11 and their parents and supporters. With that said, everyone is welcome, as the event will also be beneficial for students in grade 9 and 10 who are curious about the post-secondary landscape, as well as those in grade 12 who may still feel a bit uncertain about post-secondary and, more specifically, university.

More information about the event, as well as its registration page, can be found here: https://www.stu.ca/events/all-events/preparing-for-the-post-secondary-search-process.php.

If students have any questions, please contact Natalie Carrier: carrier@stu.ca

The Pyramid Model is a positive behavioral intervention and support framework. It is a conceptual framework of evidence-based practices for promoting the social and emotional development of young children. Understanding positive relationships and the important role they play in children’s social and emotional development is at the forefront of our program. The Pyramid Model supports early childhood educators (ECE) to create an environment where every child feels good about coming to school. It guides educators’ practice in being responsive and nurturing as well as how to help children understand behavior expectations, guidance in social skills as well as individual support if needed. Please see the attached brochure on the Pyramid Model for more information.
