Preamble
Maintaining our high standards of learning and teaching is an ongoing process. The provision of effective tutoring and teaching in a safe and disciplined environment is of paramount importance to all involved.
By drawing up this Code of Conduct, we hope to provide a frame of reference for the behaviour of all students at Grey High School. We hope to establish a non-racial, democratic and well-balanced education.
The Code of Conduct, in conjunction with the School Rules, is to be endorsed by all students at the school. It is a model based on the standards that the staff, students and parents of the school believe in.
