S T O P A B U L LY Rundle Academy's greatest priority is the safety and well being of its students. We are always seeking ways to maintain and improve the school environment for our students. One example is the new Code of Conduct that was communicated with families in the fall. Another initiative we have joined is the Stop-A-Bully website. It provides an opportunity for anyone to anonymously report
bullying activity. The information gets sent to the school for processing by Administration. For more details or to make a report, please go to http://www.stopabully.ca/.

All Senior High students are invited to
speak to Mr. Sylven if they would like to give it a try.
