SOGI 1 2 3

SelfDesign is proud to be an inclusive school and affiliated with SOGI 1 2 3.

SOGI 1 2 3 helps educators make schools inclusive and safe for students of all sexual orientations and gender identities (SOGI). At a SOGI-inclusive school, students’ biological sex does not limit their interests and opportunities, and their sexual orientation and how they understand and express their gender are welcomed without discrimination.

SelfDesign is implementing SOGI 1-2-3 education material and concepts in various ways and by doing so, SelfDesign enlivens our community’s Value Statements and upholds the B.C. Human Rights code. This offers SelfDesign contractors, educators and parents an opportunity to deepen in an understanding of the various ways that we can support all members of our educational program. SelfDesign has a designated ‘SOGI Lead’ who connects directly with the SOGI provincial educational lead.
