Our Commitment to Student Achievement

"Hand in hand, we learn together at Prince Philip."

"Prince Philip students wear pink to say No to Bullying"

We are honoured that you have chosen Prince Philip for your child(ren)’s education. We take our responsibility to students very seriously and strive to combine a climate of high expectations with a warm, family environment.

Working with our School Council, we have developed a Mission Statement that captures our commitment to student success:

Prince Philip Public School is a diverse learning community.We work with families and community partners to prepare our students for success in the 21st century. Through creativity and innovation, Prince Philip students will become critical thinkers and problem solvers. During their time in our school, students will become effective communicators in the spoken and written word. They will learn to appropriately use all forms of technology as tools to support their growth. Students will become adept with numbers in real world applications. They will understand the importance of good character and practice healthy living. Through teamwork and collaboration, Prince Philip students, within a safe school environment, will become socially responsible, and committed to making the world a better place.

Our school motto is:

Hand in hand, we learn together at Prince Philip.

Let’s work together to ensure the success of every child in our school. We hope you find this website helpful and easy to use. Please share any thoughts you have, either in person, or by email. We look forward to another great school year!

Safety Tips for Students

Prince Philip teachers have reviewed safety in the community messages with our students, and we recommend that parents and guardians also discuss these safety rules with their children:

1. Don't talk to strangers.
2. Always walk to and from school with a buddy.
3. Do not take short cuts through alleys, parks, fields, etc. even if they are well lit.
4. Let someone know where you are and where you are going.
5. If you suspect someone is following you, RUN! Go to the nearest safe place.
6. If someone makes you feel uncomfortable, go to the nearest safe place.
7. Walk confidently and be aware of your surroundings.
8. Never, ever get into a stranger's vehicle.
9. Adults will never ask a child for help. If an adult asks you for help, run to a safe place.

Should your children report a suspicious incident to you, please report these incidents to the Niagara Regional Police and then notify the school. __________________________________________________________________
