Goals
The Code of Behaviour has been established by Learning Genius Academy to ensure:
- That all members of this school community are treated with respect, courtesy and dignity.
- That teachers will have the opportunity to teach and that students will have the opportunity to learn.
- That all students will have the opportunity to participate fully and safely in school, whether it be in the classroom, the school yard, special events, sports, extracurricular activities or school trips.
- That the expectations for appropriate behaviour are identified and taught.
- That the process for ensuring that these expectations are followed is consistent and familiar.
- That everyone will develop an appreciation of the impact of their behaviour, both positive and negative, on others.
- That students learn that rules, policies and procedures provide guidelines for behaviour, but that control of behaviour will be internalized as self control.
