It
is expected that the following goals will permeate the whole school environment,
which would enhance the development of a culture of
life in
the Hamilton Wentworth Catholic District School Board. Whereas it is recognized
that pro -life values,
such as charity, love of neighbour, and acceptance of all as individuals as made
in the image and likeness of God, are taught throughout all the grades in our
Catholic system, this report proposes the development of a number of initiatives
where these same values can be lived.
- To
promote a Culture of Life within
our Secondary School system;
- To
raise awareness of Pro - Life issues
among our staff and students;
- To
focus on beginning and end of life
issues. (Examples: abortion, euthanasia & stem cell research);
- To
teach our students to recognize the integrity of ach person;
- To
build firm family foundations;
- To
enable our students to meet the challenges that face our society;
- To
empower our students with the courage needed to live the Gospel of Life;
- To
build character and leadership in our students;
- To
instill life -
long ethical integrity.
