Expectations of Parents, Caregivers & Visitors
St Heliers School is committed to providing a safe and healthy environment for students, staff, and visitors.
Our Code of Conduct serves as a reminder to all parents, caregivers, and school visitors that their conduct must support everyone’s emotional and physical well-being, and not harm it in any way. The school’s board has set this Code of Conduct for our school.
The Code of Conduct applies:
to all conduct, speech, and action, and includes emails, texts, phone calls, social media, or other communication
while on school grounds or at another venue where students and/or staff are assembled for school purposes (such as a camp or sports match).
