- to establish and maintain appropriate balances among individual and collective rights, freedoms and responsibilities
- to promote a climate of understanding and mutual respect where all people in our school, students, parents, teachers, staff or visitors, are treated equally in dignity and rights, and without discrimination based on race, colour, ancestry, place of origin, religion, marital status, family status, physical or mental disability, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or age of that person or class of persons, as set out in the BC Human Rights Code
