REACH expectations

REACH stands for:

• Respectful
• Empowered
• Accepting
  
• Collaborative
• Honourable
  

Our whole school approach to discipline (PDF, 253KB) and student code of conduct (PDF, 4.3KB), maps our school expectations, processes and metalanguage to set students up for success each day.
