YThe school operates as a community which seeks to safeguard the rights of the individual. Each member of the community should have the chance to grow in knowledge and in selfconfidence, encouraged by pupils and staff alike. However, rights also entail responsibilities. This set of rules is based on the fundamental tenet that individuals need to recognize their own responsibilities to others and to conduct themselves with self-discipline.
These rules will be applied at all times when a pupil is in school or is under the school’s responsibility. Hence, excursions, away matches, group trips, etc. do not signify that school rules cease to apply. When pupils are with parents of friends outside school time, parents must clearly set their own limits as they see fit. It is hoped, however, that pupils will seek to conduct themselves with dignity at all times.
