Behaviour in the community

Behaviour in the community

Students are expected to act as ambassadors for the school when in the local community.

This means that students should do the following:

• Go straight home, or to any other activity arranged by parents/carers. If going to a local shop then students should leave the shop after making their purchases. Students should not hang around local streets, shops or other establishments.

• Be respectful to members of the public.

• Behave appropriately when in shops or other local establishments.

• Not enter into confrontations with other students, whether from Highlands School or other schools

• Respect the local environment by not littering or damaging property.

• Not be a bystander to any inappropriate behaviour outside school. This should be reported to the school or to the police if someone is in danger.

• All student misconduct before and after school will be followed up and investigated in school.

• The school also has the right to follow up and investigate behaviour outside of school hours, that breaches the school’s behaviour policy and/or brings the school into disrepute. The school can issue sanctions in these cases, where it is deemed appropriate.
