New Student Orientation
At ECC, we want every new student to feel welcomed, valued, and included from the moment they arrive. We understand that starting at a new school can feel overwhelming, so we are intentional about fostering a strong sense of belonging within our community. Parents can have peace of mind knowing their child will be supported as they transition into their new learning environment and student life at ECC.

Buddy System
To help new students settle in quickly, each child is paired with a buddy—a friendly ECC student who will guide them through their first day. Their buddy will:
-
Support them throughout the day
-
Answer any questions they may have
-
Include them in recess activities and social interactions.

Living Out Our GEMS Values
One of our GEMS values is Members, which reminds us that every student is an important part of our school family. Our buddy system allows current students to demonstrate kindness and inclusivity, ensuring that every new student feels valued from day one. With a warm welcome and a supportive start, your child will feel at home at ECC in no time.
