Home Page > Parents : School Codes of Conduct School Codes of Conduct Each school has its own code of conduct which has been developed by staff in consultation with parents. School codes of conduct include the following components: • Statement of purpose • Statements about acceptable behaviour • Statements about unacceptable behaviour • Consequences • Rising expectations (which refers to age, maturity and special needs, if any), • Notification The school code of conduct applies while at school, at a school-related activity or in other circumstances where engaging in the activity will have impact on the school environment. The code of conduct addresses the prohibited grounds of discrimination set out in the B,C. Human Rights Code in respect of discriminatory publication and discrimination in accommodation, services, facility, or school environment (see the relevant sections of the Human Rights Code on the right). The code of conduct includes reference to focus on consequences that are restorative, rather than punitive, wherever possible and appropriate. The code of conduct includes an explanation that special considerations may apply to students with special needs, if they are unable to comply with a code of conduct due to having a disability of an intellectual, physical, sensory, emotional or behavioural nature. The code of conduct is available to the public and is distributed to all staff, parents, and students at beginning of school year and to newly assigned staff and students registering mid-year. |
