The Behaviour Code has been developed taking into account the rights and responsibilities of all members of the Catherine McAuley school community.  This Behaviour Code takes into account the Duty of Care and the Child Protection Policies.

The Behaviour Code aims to:

 

·             Promote an atmosphere conducive to effective teaching and learning.

·             Create a supportive environment where students can develop their abilities and interests.

·             Foster a mutual respect for others and their property.

·             Develop in students the ability to take responsibility for their own behaviour and the consequences of their actions.

 

Natural Justice and Procedural Fairness will be considered at all times.  This means that:

 

·             The student will have a fair opportunity to know and understand what the allegation is and what evidence supports it.

·             The investigative process will be conducted in an impartial and objective manner.

·             The student will be given a reasonable opportunity to think about the matter and prepare a response.  In serious cases students may seek guidance from parents/guardians before responding.

·             Students may make a submission in relation to the proposed consequence/s.

·             There will be impartiality in all procedures connected with the making of a decision.

·             Decision-making will be based on a balanced and considered assessment of information without bias.

 

The possible consequences for an infringement may vary depending on the severity and frequency of the offence. The possible consequences are meant as a guide for the Catherine McAuley community.
