CODE OF CONDUCT
PREAMBLE
The school’s CODE OF CONDUCT is based on the principle of the God-given dignity of the person and the respect due to oneself, other pupils, members of the staff, those in the wider community and the care of the environment in which we live and work.
CODE OF CONDUCT

• Full attendance each school day is required.
• Any absence requires a note of explanation written on the prescribed note at the back of the journal and signed by the parent/guardian. Senior students must use the prescribed note from the note pad given out at the start of the year .
• Note for absenteeism must be given to the teacher of first class on the day the student returns to school. The teacher will collect the note and sign the stub.
