The 3 Be’s - St. James & St. Ann's Catholic Elementary School

At St. James & St. Ann’s School we have a school-wide belief system called The 3 Be’s. We believe that if students are following The 3 Be’s then appropriate behaviour expectations, as outlined by school personnel during periodic school-wide walk throughs, will be witnessed across the school.

The 3 Be’s are:

Be Christ-like:
- Actively participate in classroom prayer and all activities related to Religious instruction in the classroom
- Be kind to others
- Actively participate, be reverent and prayerful in school Masses, paraliturgies and assemblies
- Be generous with your time and talents
- Step up and help fellow students when needed
Be Responsible:
- Take care of your belongings and those of others
- Actively participate in all learning activities in the classroom and those provided by specialist teachers
- Do your best in all activities at school
- Meet deadlines that are set for you, including completing your homework, studying for tests, etc.
- Look after school property
- Make good choices for yourself and others – be safe
- Take proper care of yourself (hygiene) and your school uniform
Be Respectful:
- Act kindly towards students, staff and other adults on and off school property
- Use appropriate language at all times
- Think about the feelings of others before you act
- Use active listening with adults and students
- Treat school property appropriately
- Treat those who have devoted themselves to Religious life with honour and respect
