ý12- lOmna Weekiy Tn.a, We**d neuëday, March 17, 19913U Kirby develops code of student. behaviour by Heleni MacDonald Parents of Kirby Public Sehool students recently received a PTA ~newsletter which included "Code of Behaviour" for students, Not a radically new philosophy, development of a Student Code of Behaviour is the first stage in a planning process which principal, Taullie Thompson, and staff at.Kirby P.S., have begun. It used to be that undesirable actions of students were met with puniti ve measures determined unilaterally. Today, parents, students, staff and other community stakeholders can develop their own philosophy which wili guide the school1 community through this decade. This -philosophy evolves around the understanding that for every action that one takes, there is a consequence, and that we must accept responsibiity for our actions. According to Thompson, suchi Codes have been developed and implemented in other area schools. 'the first Strategic Planning Meeting has been scheduled for mid-April at which participants will investigate what the schooll's objectives should bc., How do we define a healthy sehool? How cari the curricu lum bc balanced ta include health and welIness of the students with the arts, sciences and other areas of learning? What can be done on the budget that is available? "Behaviour is a lifelong learning process', said Thompson. "Even parents must develop new skills to cope with a changing world." Based on the writiag of Barbara Coloroso and William Purkey, the Code of Student Behaviour will include the following principles: Philosophy: Treating another individual with courtesy, honesty and respect enhance your self-respecf t and self-esteemn. Righits. Say what you mean, mean what you say, do what you said you would.- Responsibilities: If responsi bility and participation are important to Places to Go0 Big Sisters N.O.W.

One species whaose habitat has grearly decreased as a result of human activities is the grizzly bear. Farming, ranching, lagging, and riing have ail contributed ta a 25 per cent reductian in the bear's Canadiani range. Other infringements such as roads and low-flying aircraft have also taken their toîl on grizzly populations. Grizzly bears are truly wilderness animais and need a vast and stable range, in a relatively undisturbed area, in which ta, live and raise their young. When they are forced into less suitable habitat, they have difftculty surviving. 1The Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada has, designated most grizzly populations as vulnerable (the plains population bas already vanished). As a resuit, the Canadian Wildlife Federation and other conservation groups are sponsoring more research on grizzly bears and developingpro- grams ta assist them. You can help tao. loin CWF or a local con- servation organizatian that is working ta ensure that these mag- nificent animais continue t m ake their home in Canada.
