Behaviour Support Programs

Behaviour Support Programs provide specialized programming for students requiring intensive support with complex social-emotional and behavioural needs.

Positive Learning Behaviour Teams

Positive Learning Behaviour (PLB) is a specialized support initiative designed to foster inclusive, trauma-informed learning environments and improve behavioural and academic outcomes for students, particularly those with complex needs.

The PLB teams go to select schools for 13 weeks at a time offering school-wide support helping students and coaching school staff.

CARE Classrooms

CARE classrooms were established in response to the growing complexity of student needs. The majority of students are successfully supported within their regular classrooms. Some students require enhanced structure and specialized supports to ensure safety, well-being, and success.

The CARE framework guides specialized classrooms:

• Connections & Belonging: Strong relationships and a sense of community
• Access to Learning: Flexible, responsive programming and supports
• Regulation: Environments that promote readiness to learn
• Engagement: Active participation and student voice, with meaningful family and community involvement

CARE classrooms are rooted in our Catholic faith and our belief in the inherent dignity and God-given worth of every student. Inclusion remains our foundation; however, it is understood as providing the right level of support so that each student can experience belonging and flourish. 

Six CARE classrooms will be supported by Speech-Language Pathologists, Occupational Therapists, and Counsellors. A referral from the student's home school is required.

• Foundations (St. Lorenzo, St. Augustine): Focus on co-regulation, trauma-informed practice, and supported transitions to school and faith-based activities.
• Connections (Pope John Paul II, St. George): Emphasis on communication, sensory supports, functional academics, and flexible, experiential learning.
• Bridges (Bishop Klein): Supports re-engagement, regulation, and gradual return to classroom routines and community.
