The Community of Glenlawn provides OPPORTUNITIES for
LEARNING, growth and PREPARATION for our
future in an environment of RESPONSIBILITY and
RESPECT.
Glenlawn is your school, and, like each
student here, you have rights and obligations. You share the school with other
students who have the same goals as you do – to do as well as possible
academically, to build friendships, and to participate in and enjoy the many
extra-curricular activities the school offers. These goals can be achieved when
rights are respected and all Glenlawn students live up to the expectations of
good citizenship. You have the right to be treated with dignity and respect; but
respect is also earned. You are expected to behave responsibly, speak
considerately, dress appropriately, work diligently and resolve all differences
through direct, polite discussion or by seeking assistance. Rules and policies
have been developed by the school and the school division to ensure that the
learning climate serves all students. You are expected to comply with school
rules and divisional policies, thereby showing your willingness to contribute to
an atmosphere that is nurturing, positive and orderly for all. Make good
choices. Teachers and other adults have an ongoing responsibility to prepare
students for their role as citizens and to model these attributes in their daily
interactions with students. Discipline and restitution create a balance that
allows for learning from mistakes, learning different behaviours and making
amends.
