Conduct

Students are firstly governed by their own school’s code of conduct, students should then follow the guidelines set out in this SGIS Sports Handbook. Lastly, students are also expected to follow any expectations expected from the Competition Organiser. 

Appropriate behaviour is expected at all times during the competition, even when students are not competing. 

Disputes should be resolved by a small committee composed of the Competition Organiser and two uninvolved Coaches.

The SGIS Competition Organiser has the final authority over all competition decisions, including the right to dismiss a player, Coach or spectator from the area of play for any inappropriate behaviour. 

Any appeal resulting from a SGIS Sports Competition must be submitted in writing within one week of the competition finishing. The appeal should be sent to both the competition organiser and the SGIS Sports Chair. The process for the appeal will be as follows:

• Gathering information

• Discussion between Competition Organiser and Chair

• Decision reached and communicated to appealing party and any other involved parties.

Students are not permitted to smoke, drink alcohol or use drugs at any SGIS organised competition and at no time for the duration of competitions, including the venue, changing rooms, or cafeteria/restaurant even if the students is of a legal age to smoke or drink alcohol. The duration of the competition is defined as athletes being under the direct supervision of the Coach/chaperone. 

Coaches, chaperones and spectators are expected to be good role models throughout the entire competition. Any adult unable to be respectful to others at the competition (other Coaches, referees, spectators) may be asked to vacate the competition by the competition host. Further sanctions could be forthcoming if the competition hosts deems if necessary.
