Our School Pillars and How We Work

  • Wear appropriate clothes at school

  • Have respect for yourself

  • Care for the buildings and equipment

  • Respect other students, school staff, volunteers, Corp staff and visitors

  • Keep hands and feet to ourselves

  • Care for others

  • Be aware of how people may be feeling

  • Clean up any mess and keep your work spaces tidy

  • Give everyone a chance to talk

  • Try to actively listen when staff and visitors are speaking

 

Safe and Legal

  • Everyone should feel safe at school – speak up if you do not feel safe

  • Don't come to school under the influence of alcohol or drugs

  • Discard any sharp or unsafe objects property

  • Take the breaks at the appropriate times and be back in class on time for each session

  • Help others to clean up your work areas

  • Put your rubbish in the bin

Participation

  • Come to school

  • Try to participate in all activities you are comfortable with – “give it a go”

Students who are not able to value the four principles of the school may be asked to leave school for the day or until they are in a headspace for learning and engaging again.
