In order to create a classroom environment which is conducive to learning and development, the following rules apply in the classroom:

• The authority of the teacher in the classroom must be respected at all times.
• Students must be on time for each class and have all materials required for class. Borrowing of books or other materials is prohibited.
• Students must be in possession of their School Journals for every class period.
• It is the responsibility of each student to have his/her School Journal signed each evening by a parent/guardian.
• The School Journal is to be used only for the recording of homework, and communication between parents/guardians and the school and must be maintained in a clean condition, free from graffiti etc.
• The loss of a School Journal or defacing or removing of Journal pages is a serious matter. Where this arises students must present a written explanation of same, signed by parents/guardians, and may be required to purchase a replacement School Journal.
• Students must respect the right of their fellow students to work without hindrance or distraction. Disruptive or inappropriate behaviour is not permitted in the classroom. Students must not support or involve themselves in the disruptive behaviour of others in the classroom.
• An immediate apology is required for an offence caused to teacher or students in the classroom.
• To answer a question or seek the attention of the teacher a student must raise a hand and wait for permission to speak.
• Students must leave the classroom in an orderly manner when class is dismissed.
• Written permission from a teacher, Year Head, Deputy Principal or Principal, is essential when a student is absent for a class or part of a class period.
• The school uniform as stated in the School Journal must be worn at all times during the school day or when engaged in school activities.
• A high standard of neatness and personal hygiene is expected of all students.
• Mobile phones are not permitted in the school. If found they will be confiscated and returned to the parent/guardian of the student concerned after four weeks.
• Interference of any kind with another person’s property, including school property, is a serious breach of the school’s code of Conduct. Students or their parents/guardians may be required by the school to pay for the repair or replacement of property damaged by students.
