Guiding Principles
Our school uses restorative approaches in working with our school community members—from students and staff to parents/guardians, we believe in building strong, positive relationships with one another in order to work towards increasing student achievement. NRHS students and staff are committed to providing students with a safe, respectful learning environment: We believe everyone has the right to learn and the responsibility to respect the rights of others.
Our school’s policies and procedures have been developed according to our four guiding principles: Safety, Opportunity, Achievement, and Respect.
Safety
Our school’s Code of Conduct supports a safe, secure learning environment.
Opportunity
Northumberland offers numerous academic and extra-curricular opportunities.
Achievement
Our students are encouraged to set and attain academic and personal goals that are both personally challenging and individually achievable.
Respect
Our school is founded on four respects: Respect for Self, Respect for Others, Respect for Learning, and Respect for the Environment. We work to achieve an atmosphere of acceptance and strive to eliminate discrimination of any sort.
The SOAR Matrix
The Chignecto-Central Regional School Board believes that appropriate behavior enhances student success in school and contributes to a positive, safe and secure school environment.
