School Rules

• We walk quietly around school. Running can cause accidents and noise can disturb other people.
• We are always kind, honest, helpful, polite and respectful to others.
•  We always keep ourselves and others safe.
•  We always think before we speak. Bad language, rudeness and name calling are hurtful.
•  Fighting does not solve problems. We should all think before we act. We will seek help from a trusted adult or older child if necessary.
•  We do not bully or allow ourselves or others to be bullied. Our school is a bully-free zone. Bullying is totally unacceptable.
• We all respect other people’s property. We leave toys and valuable possessions at home unless staff agree that we can bring them in.
• We all look after and care for our school. We keep it tidy and a place that we are all proud of.
• We always abide by all school rules and our School Dress Code.
•  Nobody has the right to make us unhappy or prevent us from learning
