Behaviour Code for All COSSOT Events Appropriate behaviour is expected of all students at all times. The Havergal Code of Conduct applies at all COSSOT events. The following is a list of behaviours expected from all students attending a COSSOT event: ● follow instructions the first time they are given; ● if the instruction is not clear, ask for clarification. If you disagree with an instruction, follow-up individually with the adult who gave the instruction from any given school, or speak to your teacher / supervisor; ● always be mindful, courteous and considerate of others; ● dance moves should be respectful (no grinding); and ● remember, it is of the utmost importance that you learn to take responsibility for yourself and your actions. You are an ambassador for your school. Middle School COSSOT Social Events One of the objectives at the Middle School level is to provide opportunities for students to meet and socialize with other students from a variety of schools. The number of students able to attend each event varies and, as a result, each participating school is allotted a predetermined number of spots. All students are encouraged to act as ambassadors and hosts when attending the dance held at Havergal College. Permission Forms All students in Grades 7 and 8 require parental / guardian permission in order to attend a COSSOT event. The privilege of attending a COSSOT event depends upon students taking responsibility for picking-up and returning a completed permission form as well as adhering to expectations of COSSOT in terms of dress and behaviour at events. Permission forms will be made available through email and in the office of the Head of Middle School prior to each event and should be returned to the same office by the deadline stated on each permission form. If there is a behaviour problem, the staff supervisor in attendance from his / her school will make a decision regarding consequences or any discipline required.
