Code of Behaviour

Student Discipline Code

We have high expectations of student behaviour at Kurri Kurri High School.  It is essential that inappropriate behaviour does not affect the learning experiences, safety or well being of others in our school community.

The following points outline our expectations of students.

Students will:

	Take responsibility for their behaviour, learning and choices.
	Use appropriate language and speak politely to others.
	Complete all required work to the expected standard.
	Respect that all students have the right to learn without disruption in a safe environment.
	Be a good member of our school community, proudly wear our uniform and respect things that belong to others.
	Be in the right place at the right time with the correct equipment.

Students should NOT bring valuable items to school.  The school accepts no responsibility for the loss, damage or theft of such items.  These include bikes, mobile phones and other electronic devices (cameras, games consoles etc)
