Falcons for the Earth
In order to reduce the ecological footprint of the school, Fallingbrook Community Elementary School proudly participates in the Ontario EcoSchools environmental education and certification program. The program is a government initiative that promotes environmental awareness in schools across Ontario. In 2011 the school received a silver medal qualification as a result of the numerous environmental initiatives that were implemented at the school.
Character Education
Character education is a part of daily life at the school. Each month, students and staff focus on a particular character trait. The character trait (i.e. respect, responsibility, empathy), is then reflected during morning announcements, visible on the walls of the school, embedded in the classroom curriculum, and reinforced each day. At the end of each month, students and their teachers organize a school assembly to celebrate the character trait for that particular month.
