Code of Conduct

The Province of Nova Scotia provides all schools with a Code of Conduct, which provides advice for consequences when students act inappropriately. The complete document can be found on the Department of Education website at https://www.ednet.ns.ca

Consequences range from discussions, detentions, short-term suspensions (In-School and Out of School) to long-term suspensions (greater than 10 days). Administration can suspend for up to 10 days and can recommend a longer suspension, which then must go to a Suspension Review Committee hearing where the student, parent/guardians and board committee meet.
