Code of School Behaviour

All students should have access to the best educational opportunities and outcomes possible. The Code of School Behaviour sets out a fair and consistent standard of behaviour for everyone (parents, students, staff) across all state schools. Schools provide a safe, supportive and disciplined learning environment in many ways, including: • inclusive and engaging curriculum and teaching • positive interpersonal relationships between staff, students and parents • fair, safe practices • non-discriminatory language and behaviours • reducing possible barriers to learning, especially for those most at risk • consideration and use of suspension and exclusion, only when all other approaches have been exhausted.
