Rights and Responsibilities

 "THE MOST EFFECTIVE DISCIPLINE IS SELF DISCIPLINE"

The School provides a positive and caring environment for all students - an environment which promotes learning and respect for each other.

 

 WE BELIEVE THAT EVERYONE HAS THE RIGHT:

  1. To be treated with respect and courtesy.
  2. To work in a clean and safe environment.
  3. To work in an environment which enables everyone to learn.
  4. To receive an equitable allocation of educational resources.
  5. We believe it is the caregivers' right to be informed of and involved in the education of their son or daughter.

 RESPONSIBILITIES:  STUDENTS WILL BE REQUIRED TO:

  1. Respect the rights of others.
  2. Respect the feelings of others. Exercise self control.
  3. Behave in a way that allows others to learn.
  4. Take care of the school environment.
  5. Work and play in the appropriate places at the appropriate times.

 If students are unable to accept any of the above responsibilities then a school-wide behaviour management process is instituted.  This involves a range of procedures and includes the involvement of caregivers.

Guidance from classroom or form teachers, deans or the guidance councillor is available at all times.
