Zero Tolerance Policy

We operate a no tolerance policy towards bad and abusive behaviour by children and parents alike towards our staff from management through teachers to auxiliary members. In case of breaches, the perpetrator(s) will be dealt with strictly and swiftly by our disciplinary board without favour.

OUR QUALITY TIME - WHAT IS IT?

Six simple rules to remember to make life at school safe and enjoyable for everyone. Keeping the rules will result in special QUALITY TIME when the children can enjoy activities of their choice that they don't normally get the chance to do at school.

The Golden Rules are as follows:

Do be gentle

...Don't hurt anyone

Do be kind and helpful

...Don't hurt people's feelings

Do be honest

...Don't cover up the truth

Do work hard

...Don't waste time

Do look after property

...Don't waste or damage things

Do listen to people

...Don't interrupt

We also have a CHILDREN'S CODE OF CONDUCT based on the Golden Rules that we ask parents and children to read, talk about and sign. In our school we will try, with the help of the Holy Spirit, to follow the way of Jesus to love God Our Father and to love and respect each other. Our children's code to help us means:

  • It is my responsibility to be on time for school and to take care of my books and equipment.
  • It is my responsibility to respect other people and to show my concern for them.
  • It is my responsibility to be kind and caring to others.
  • It is my responsibility to listen to others.
  • It is my responsibility to be tidy with my property and careful with others'.
  • It is my right not to be hurt by fighting, kicking or in rough play.
  • It is my right for adults and children to listen to me.
  • It is my right to enjoy all that school provides in work and play and that my parents will help me.
  • It is my right to have a safe place to keep my clothes and books.
  • It is my right to be loved and respected because I am important.

At the beginning of each academic year, we send this to all Parents, Carers and Children to read together and sign for return to school.
