Presenter: Iona Whishaw, Principal, David Thompson Secondary School
Session Title: Embedding Social Responsibility into School Culture
Session Description: Iona will talk about how Sir Charles Tupper Secondary in Vancouver, British Columbia became a beacon for how Social Responsibility programs could really become embedded in a school culture. She will talk about how a good program like EBS is essential, but the difference between a successful program that is lived every day by students and carried out into their daily lives, and one that is just another poster on the wall, lies in how it is enacted, and in deeper understandings of such things as the fundamental human relationships that are natural between adults and students, and how relationships really do matter.
