Dare to Care

Dare to Care

All Rainbow Schools offer Dare to Care from Kindergarten to Grade 9.

With modules for students, professional learning for staff, and resources for parents/guardians, Dare to Care engages the entire school community in contributing to warm and welcoming school environments where students feel a strong sense of belonging and connection.

Students learn about the importance of being kind, the difference between bullying and mean moments, how to ask for help from an adult, and standing up for yourself and others.

Prevention and intervention strategies focus on social emotional learning with an emphasis on empathy. Through the program, everyone gains a deeper understanding of bullying, and, more importantly, develops tools to create a caring community.
