Code of conduct

Members of the Ressu school community treat each other politely and fairly. Lessons start and end, punctually, according to the timetable in use. Tardiness disrupts everybody’s concentration, thus interfering with everyone’s right to work efficiently and effectively.  During morning assembly (broadcast via the PA system) students must remain quiet.  High school students are old enough to know that mobile phones  should be used only for study purposes during lessons. 

It is not allowed to bring to school anything that is illegal, anything that can be used to harm someone or can be used for destructive purposes (if there is no acceptable reason to bring it along). 

Students disrupting the teaching can be asked to leave the room for the duration of the lesson. Students showing disruptive, threatening or violent behaviour can be deprived of their right to attend classes for the remainder of the day or up to three days, if there is a danger of teaching being disrupted or others’ safety is at stake. Students who disrupt teaching, break rules, are found guilty of academic dishonesty (e.g. plagiarism, cheating in an exam, etc) or improper behaviour can be punished. Punishments include written warnings and suspension (max 1 year). Students suspected of having committed a crime can be deprived of their right to attend school for the duration of the police investigation.
