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.
