A safer you -

is safer me

Your opinion is a step towards safe learning

The project aims to raise public awareness about the rapidly deteriorating safety conditions in School boards all across Canada by gathering data to identify the schools that are safer and those that need to improve.

It’s like creating a public accountability board that motivates school administrations to improve conditions in areas that need attention.

  • St. André Bessette Catholic School
    Our experience has been nothing short of deplorable and dehumanizing. *** is often dismissive, the language used by staff to describe the behaviors of children is unacceptable and the way that black children are OPENLY treated by some of the staff is very concerning. We have reached out to the superintendent and have not received a response so, our next step will be to go to the Board Trustee. I believe this school needs a complete overhaul and the staff, including the principal, need to be educated on how to communicate with (black) parents and children effectively.
  • St. Luke the Evangelist Catholic School
    Multiple current and former staff have spoken out about the ongoing issues at this school, yet nothing has been resolved. The fact that so many staff have left to work at other schools is telling. The toxic culture was felt from day one and observed by many staff.

    It often seemed that certain team members were deliberately trying to undermine others or make them appear incompetent in front of colleagues, despite the fact that everyone was meant to be equals simply trying to do their jobs. The work of an EA is already challenging enough, dealing with high-needs students and frequent violence. But when staff don’t have a supportive team to back them up, it becomes deeply discouraging. On top of that, being micromanaged and constantly monitored by program support made the day-to-day experience feel tense and exhausting. Staff were under a microscope from the moment they walked in.

    It takes a toll on mental health. Coming in every day stopped being enjoyable and became mentally, physically, and emotionally draining. These are very real and very concerning issues that lead to burnout and job dissatisfaction. Nobody should be treated this way.

    Something needs to change. There needs to be some accountability and honest self-reflection at all levels. Good staff are being driven out due to unchecked negative behaviour, and that should concern anyone who truly cares about creating a safe, supportive, and professional environment for the safety and wellbeing of both students and staff.

  • St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic School
    I have worked at St. Thomas for a number of years and can whole heartedly say that the reason I stay is because of the dedicated and welcoming staff. The support staff go above and beyond to help the teachers with their programming. All staff work collaboratively, and support each other. When there are issues, in my experience, maturity and integrity reign, and they are resolved. It is for these reasons I stay. It is my second home.

  • St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic School
    EAs that have worked here for years are bullies and have zero respect for any new supply staff or new EAs that work here. They are unfriendly and rude.
    If you have worked here even briefly - you know exactly whom I'm talking about.
