Code of Conduct
Our Code of Conduct is based upon the following beliefs:
- The ultimate goal of a Code of Conduct is to develop student self-discipline.
- Most students behave appropriately.
- Attributes of appropriate behaviour include but are not limited to:
- respect for self and others; empathy;
- cooperation;
- courtesy;
- responsibility;
- honesty.
- Responses to behaviour occur with consideration for individual needs and circumstances.
- Effective behaviour management strategies:
- promote self-discipline;
- are pro-active;
- are based on fair and equitable treatment;
- consider developmental differences;
- support constructive behaviour change;
- respect the findings of educational research;
- consider the safety and welfare of the school and community.
- Parents/Guardians play a significant role in shaping their child’s behaviour and attitudes and therefore the Division strives for a constructive partnership with the home.
- Adults have the responsibility to model for students those attributes and behaviours which support a positive learning environment.
