Code of Behaviour

CODE OF BEHAVIOUR

The Vision Valley Year 9 Residential Program is characterised as a safe, supportive and caring environment. All members of the Residential Program are asked to interact with each other in a caring, positive and meaningful manner and to support the intended outcomes of the program. The community will be a successful, thriving one when all members strive to live to the College values and adhere to the Code of Conduct which is values based and aims to encourage each student to demonstrate Care, Courage, Integrity, Respect and Responsibility in their interactions with others, decision making and their appearance.

The student Code of Conduct is marked by participants:

• Having a mutual understanding, encouragement, care and support for all

• Co-operating, respecting and demonstrating tolerance for both staff and fellow students

• Being honest and always acting with integrity

• Stepping up to opportunities for initiative and leadership

Specifically, students are requested to:

• Be organised and on time

• Respect individual’s personal space, boundaries and belongings

• Be respectful, kind and inclusive to others and ourselves

• Listen to others when they are speaking

• Share communal spaces equally

• Be grateful for, and open minded to the opportunities presented

• Take chances and push oneself out of your comfort zone

• Respect and abide by no mobile phones, laptops or smart watches/devices while on the program.

As part of the on-boarding process for the Residential Program, students will be briefed on; and requested to follow, the Vision Valley Residential Program Code of Behaviour together with the rules and an understanding of the consequences if these rules are breached. This is an important facet of the program to ensure successful community life.
