The school’s Code of Conduct emphasizes maintaining a safe, caring, and healthy learning environment and asks community members to support learning, promote safety, respect property and personal space, and model courtesy, compassion, and respect. Unacceptable behaviours include interfering with others’ learning, bullying/harassment/intimidation/violence, threatening language or behaviour (including online), bringing weapons (including toys/replicas), and unsafe/illegal acts. The school notes that issues will be addressed where possible through discussion, mediation, and restitution, with consequences used when needed and responses considering individual student differences.

Families must provide documentation to establish residency, guardianship, age, and citizenship, and the school locator is referenced to confirm your attendance area.
