CKSS Cares

Student well-being is integral to overall student success. CKSS is committed to a wellness strategy that supports students in four critical areas: safe learning environments, positive mental health, inclusive education, and healthy schools.  Additional resources are available on the Halton Region Youth web page.

Along with in-school resources, CKSS works with students, their parents/guardians and community resources to identify and address barriers to academic success and social engagement, promoting an inclusive and caring learning environment, respecting a culture of high expectations and values diversity.
