April is Celebrate Diversity Month, a time to recognize and appreciate our differences—whether in gender, race, ethnicity, faith, sexual orientation, or other aspects—while embracing the shared essence of humanity.

Brandon School Division is comprised of staff and students from diverse communities and is committed to appreciating, respecting, accommodating, and supporting human diversity in all its forms. This commitment is based on the following beliefs: 

  • Recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world and is fundamental to the public education system. 
  • Safe, caring, and inclusive environments are necessary to fulfill our purpose. 
  • Heterogeneous groups facilitate creativity, problem solving and the exchange of new ideas and they enrich the experience of our staff and students. 
  • All individuals have the right to be treated in all matters solely on the basis of their personal merits.

Continually striving for actions that support this commitment will ensure that our Division is an inclusive community in which staff, students and visitors feel welcomed, accepted, valued and empowered to engage, learn and contribute fully and thus will share their unique viewpoints and life experiences for the benefit of all.
