Student Expectations

During this week’s Assembly, Brookhill students were reminded of some core expectations for student members of our community. To facilitate discussion at home between parents and children, I will briefly list some of the points raised. Senior students are leaders within the College Community. This means they must strive for high standards of behaviour, dress and grooming, punctuality and respect for each other and community.

All students must show respect for staff. This means:

• Classes must be allowed to run in an orderly fashion; students must not behave in a way that disrupts classes
• They must not argue with teachers
• They must follow all teacher instructions promptly
• They must accept the consequences of being disrespectful to staff.

All students must be properly attired in school uniform:

• PE uniform is not an acceptable substitute for correct uniform
• Senior students must take responsibility for having sufficient uniform items (they are old enough to use the washing machine) - Notes saying that uniform items are dirty will not be accepted
• Uniform must be worn properly
• Hair that is below shoulder length must be tied back.

Piercings

Students are permitted to have one stud or sleeper in each earlobe. No other piercings are permitted. Students with other visible piercings, may be removed from class and sent home, and will not be allowed to return to school with the piercing visible.
