Havergal College Code of Conduct Parent and student compliance and/or consent with this agreement is mandatory.

1. Introduction The Havergal College Code of Conduct sets out school-wide expectations of behaviour. These expectations apply to all members of the Havergal College community including the Principal, students, faculty, staff, parents and volunteers (including Governors). Self-discipline and a willingness to accept responsibility for one’s actions and conduct are fundamental to the Havergal College Code of Conduct. The Havergal College Code of Conduct is based on underlying principles that promote respect, civility and responsible citizenship in a safe teaching and learning environment defined by the highest standards of academic excellence, personal behaviour and personal accountability. A positive school climate exists when all members of the school community feel safe. All students, parents, faculty and staff have the right to be safe, and feel safe, in the school community. With this right comes the responsibility to contribute to a positive school climate. The enforcement of the Havergal College Code of Conduct and the imposition of disciplinary actions are the responsibility of the Principal and her designates who consult with students, faculty, staff, parents and others as deemed appropriate. Students and parents must agree to comply with the Havergal College Code of Conduct. 2.
