HS Paul School Code of Conduct 2025-26

HS Paul School is a safe, welcoming, inclusive, and respectful learning environment for all. Our Code of Conduct is grounded in the Manitoba Public Schools Act, LRSD divisional policies, and our school’s mission to empower each student to reach their full potential as responsible citizens. 

Manitoba Public Schools Act

LRSD Divisional Policies

Core Values:

• Honesty: We are responsible for our words and actions.
• Safety: We create a safe school by showing self-control.
• Problem Solving: We use words to solve our problems.
• Attitude: We work together and care for one another.
• Understanding: We show compassion and empathy.
• Learning: We support learning by being responsible for our own behaviour.  

 At HS Paul School we believe that everyone in our school community: 

• Treat others with respect, compassion and kindness.
• Demonstrate respect for the rights, roles, and responsibilities of other students and staff.
• Respect school property and the property of others.
• Adhere to divisional policies, the school code of conduct, and classroom contracts.
• Attend school regularly and arrive on time, ready to learn.
• Follow guidelines for appropriate school attire.
• Demonstrate academic honesty.
• Use the Internet, including the use of AI-generated content (e.g., audio, images, video, or text), social media, text messaging, direct messaging, websites, and email – cameras, cell phones, and other electronic or personal communication devices appropriately. 

Interventions to Support Positive Student Development

Responses to student behavior that contravene our Code of Conduct follow provincial, divisional and school policies and guidelines.

When supporting and responding to student behaviour, we will consider each student’s unique needs, age, and stage of development. Our approach is designed to maintain every student’s dignity, foster positive relationships, and provide meaningful opportunities for learning and growth. All interventions are respectful and informed by current educational and behavioral research.

Interventions may include the following:

• Meetings with parents/guardians, teachers, and staff to create a supportive plan.
• Involvement of student services or support teams.
• Behaviour intervention plans and restorative practices.
• Alternative learning spaces or plans as needed.
• Restitution and restorative meetings.
• Disciplinary consequences as outlined in provincial, divisional and school policies.
