Hackberry - Code of Conduct



Good behaviour and discipline are key foundations. Without an orderly atmosphere effective teaching and learning cannot take place. We expect and insist on the highest standards of behaviour throughout Hackberry.
Courtesy, good manners and consideration for others, together with self discipline and a proper respect for authority, are encouraged at all times and are important if we are to make Hackberry a true, caring community. We place great emphasis on praising students for politeness and kindness to others. Awards are given for outstanding work or actions.
Hackberry will bring any serious breach of discipline or any disruptive behaviour to the attention of the parents concerned and the student’s school. An appropriate course of action will be decided upon.
A copy of the school behaviour policy is also available on our website.
Our School Rules are explained fully in this.
This Code of Conduct clearly states what behaviour is acceptable and what is not acceptable,
