Student Code of Conduct
The Code of Student Conduct provides an outline of the student disciplinary process for schools and parents/guardians.
The purpose of the Code of Conduct is to:
- outline clear expectations for all school community members
- provide information around student and parent/guardian rights and supports
- equip staff with guidelines for addressing student behavior so that our students and school communities can feel safe and grow to be successful.
