A Message from the Principal regarding Grade 9 Initiation
Last Updated on Thursday, 19 April 2012 18:23
Uxbridge SS is a wonderful school with many traditions dating back several generations. I am so proud of our excellence in academics, sports, music, arts, athletics and tech. And, I am so proud of our Tiger Spirit! I understand that the markering of grade nine faces is once again being proposed as an unofficial initiation by a small group of senior students. This has typically been done at the Uxbridge Fair and outside of school, and off school property. I need to say to the USS community, that this is NOT how I want our new Tigers introduced to Uxbridge Secondary School. Markering of faces is bullying and may even be considered assault. I do not condone this behaviour. Students who actively participate in the intimidation, initiation, or bullying of grade nine students will face serious consequences.
I would ask that anyone with information about these activities, contact me directly.
Many thanks.
