Behaviour Code *The Quebec High School Behaviour Code is currently being revised. The current version will continue to be in effect until the new version is adopted. All students have the right to share in a learning environment that promotes mutual respect in an open atmosphere where exploration can take place and learning can occur. This means that we all respect ourselves, others and the environment we share. The following behaviours will not be tolerated at Quebec High School. Such behaviours will result in immediate suspension, possible expulsion and, when appropriate, involvement with the police. Restitution and/or counseling may be required in some instances. 1. Lack of Respect/Defiance of Authority – Students who by way of their language and/or actions demonstrate a significant persistent disregard for common courtesy, politeness and respect. 2. Smoking on school grounds. 3. Physical Aggression or any form of Harassment directed at another person at school. 4. Damage or Theft – Any student who willfully damages/steals school property or someone’s personal belongings. 5. Drugs and Alcohol – Involvement with drugs and/or alcohol at school. 6. Emotionally Abusive Behaviour. - abusive language or profane gestures - bullying or intimidation - utterance of threats - (see Charter of Rights) Everyone’s cooperation and support in this matter is extremely important and very much appreciated. Questions or comments can be addressed to the Principal or the Vice-Principal. General Regulations: 1. Students must be courteous and respect the rights of all other students, teachers, support staff, visitors and administration. 2. Students are expected to follow the instructions given by teachers, support staff and administration. 3. Students must be punctual for all classes. 4.

Dealing with students should be done on an individual basis in consideration of the student’s needs. This means that it may be necessary to function with a student on a particular level for longer than a single incident. (e.g. The teacher may decide to provide a student with more than one Direct Warning before moving to step 3. This will depend on how often and for what reason the student is being addressed.) 2. Very serious offenses may result in immediate decisive action. (e.g. A student who swears at a staff member could be suspended immediately.) |
