CODE OF CONDUCT


Consequences
Consequences will be applied in a fair and consistent manner, respecting individual rights,
responsibilities, age and maturity; and be restorative rather than punitive in nature. Restitution is an
approach to discipline that is based on the recognition that young people will make mistakes. By
focusing on how a young person can correct a mistake, rather than on punishment this approach
emphasizes positive solutions to problems and enhances student responsibility and self discipline.

Unacceptable (or Unexpected) Behaviour typically has the following consequences:
review of expectations and a timeout (to reflect on how to fix the mistake)
review of expectations, written assignment and/or loss of privileges
parents are informed
meeting with parents
short-term (in school or at home) suspension up to 5 days
