Rowan’s Law
In March of 2018, the Ontario government passed a law known as Rowan’s Law. Designed to protect amateur athletes and educate parents/guardians, coaches and officials about the dangers of head injuries, it is the first law of its kind in Canada and will benefit both athletes and non-athletes. Rowan’s Law is also about education. By increasing concussion awareness and knowledge, we can change Ontario’s culture around sports, physical activity and injury. Rowan’s Law will make it easier for those who experience concussions to SPEAK UP, get the help they need, and take the time necessary for recovery, with the support of everyone around them.
Please take a moment to view the above video to learn a little about concussions, their symptoms and recovery.
Exams and VacationsPlease be reminded not to plan vacations over the examination periods in January or June. Exam dates must be adhered to and will not be re-arranged, except for cases of serious illness. Exams are critical demonstrations of student learning and missing an exam can have a major impact on a final mark.
