School Philosophy
In accordance with the philosophy of public education in British Columbia, the staff of Columneetza Junior Secondary recognizes two major responsibilities of this school. The first is to foster the individual growth and development of students to their fullest potential. The second is to assist students to become active and productive citizens in our society.
Mission Statement
Our Mission is to share a commitment to creating a safe and healthy environment, which encourages respect for self and others, fosters individual growth through the pursuit of excellence, and promotes a sense of belonging in the school and the larger community.
School Code of Conduct
Part of ensuring that our Mission can be fulfilled is tied to the conduct of students and staff. The School Code of Conduct sets the standards of behaviour expected at Columneetza Junior Secondary and provides the information from which behavioural instruction and accountability are derived.
The purpose of the Code of Conduct is to establish and maintain a safe, caring and orderly environment required for purposeful learning. The code provides appropriate balances between individual and collective rights, freedoms, and responsibilities. Also, the code clarifies and publishes expectations for student behaviour while going to and from school, at school, and while attending school functions or activities at any location. Please read over the Code of Conduct. If you have any questions, please feel free to call the school.
