At Beaver Road we are committed to becoming a School of Sanctuary. We have signed the pledge and are in the final stages of completing the process. 

What is a School of Sanctuary?

  • A place that fosters a culture of welcome and safety for people seeking sanctuary, including asylum seeking and refugee families.

  • Educates the whole school community about the human right to sanctuary and identifies practical means for schools to demonstrate that commitment.

  • Builds empathy and intercultural awareness through promoting the voices and contributions of people seeking sanctuary, encouraging an understanding of the experiences of displaced people and helping to combat stereotypes.

We are proud of our work focused on welcoming and supporting Sanctuary Seeking Families within our community and beyond. Here are a few examples and there is much more to come.
