Be a leader! Be a learner! Have a
voice and have fun!”
Welcome
to Anne Frank P.S.! At AFPS continue to uphold the Mission,
Vision and Values of the York Region District School Board (YRDSB) and honour
the memory and legacy of Anne Frank.
Of the 267 schools named after Anne Frank in 18 countries, we
are the only Canadian school named after her and as a result, we will continue
to implement the five basic principles of Anne Frank Schools:
- Pupils and teachers act in the spirit of Anne’s ideals.
They interact with each other on a basis of equality and justice, and show
mutual respect.
- Anne Frank Schools set aside time in their timetables
to discuss the Second World War, the Holocaust, present-day forms
of discrimination and xenophobia, and themes such as freedom,
diversity and mutual respect.
- Teachers encourage pupils to read Anne Frank’s Diary.
- To spread Anne’s thoughts in and around the school,
Anne Frank Schools organize activities around the above themes.
- Anne Frank Schools participate in the network of Anne
Frank Schools. Via, for example, the website they exchange information and
ideas.
At Anne
Frank PS, in alignment with the Director’s
Annual Plan, we continue to centre student achievement and success,
and our School Improvement Plan highlights these areas:
- Championing equity and inclusivity
- Empowering leadership
- Building relationships
- Well-being and mental health
We look
forward to continuing our learning, unlearning and relearning journey with Anne
Frank students, staff, families and community members.
