SPECTACULAR
NEWS FLASH – FRESH OFF THE PRESS!
Lockview
High School is extremely pleased and excited to announce that we are
one out of twelve schools across Canada who have been selected to
receive a $25,000 Technology Grant as part of Future Shop’s “Future
Generation Tech Lab Grant”. Lockview was chosen from 150 applicant
school proposals. We are very excited about the impact this grant
will have on teaching and learning at the school as we update and
revive our technology to include more interactive whiteboards,
tablets, document cameras and projectors. Congratulations to Ms.
Christianson, VP and her very capable colleagues who wrote the
successful grant proposal. A presentation is scheduled to take
place at the school in early March.
Thanks again to all students and
staff who participated in the cheque presentation and to our Food
Hospitality Learning Center students who catered to the event. The
“Publishers Clearing House presentation size” cheque is in the main
office now but most likely will find a permanent display place in
the library.

Information
for FREE2BE
Program
Lockview High
school is pleased to announce that we partnered with the IWK Health
Centre to provide the FREE2BE program for our students. The program
is designed to build resiliency among youth and seeks to promote a
healthy lifestyle. Through an interactive, youth-centred approach,
participants strengthen their positive identity and self-esteem, and
develop skills that contribute to resiliency. A total of 15 students
will be asked to volunteer to take part in the program this term.
Since this is the first time it is being offered in this area,
students will be asked to complete a survey prior to participating
in the program, at the end of the program and three months after the
program has ended. The surveys are solely intended to measure the
effectiveness of the program. The surveys are completely
confidential and anonymous (no names), and once completed, will only
be handled by IWK staff. Teachers and school administration will not
have access to the surveys at any time.
Should you have any questions
about your son/daughter participating in the program, and/or about
the FREE2BE program, please contact Derek Leduc, Prevention
and Health Promotion Specialist, IWK Health Centre.

Ë
Bullying
Recent events throughout Nova Scotia school communities and
even in our own school communities within the Halifax Regional
School Board have made us more aware than ever of the
devastating and tragic effects of bullying.
Bullying is about human relationships, power and control.
Bullying is intentional, hurtful and repeated behavior that
intimidates, threatens harm, or victimizes another person to
make the victim feel weaker.
Some of the ways bullying behaviors differ from inappropriate
behaviors are:
·
Bullying is a repeated behavior
·
Bullying is an unfair match and/or there is a power
imbalance or abuse of power
·
Bullying is intentional and hurtful behavior
·
The behavior is intended to threaten, intimidate, or
victimize someone
If you believe you are being bullied or if you believe a
friend or classmate is being bullied, tell an adult - report the
incident to your principal, vice-principal or school counselor.
Ë
Inclement Weather
To
ensure parents are aware of the board’s policy and procedures for
canceling busses and/or schools in the event of inclement weather,
please be advised of the following.
The Halifax Regional School Board takes great care when making the
decision to alter the normal operations of schools in the event of
severe or inclement weather. Decisions on school closures and/or bus
cancellations are posted on the board’s website at

www.twitter.com/HRSB_Official, recorded on 464-INFO (4636) and
