• Show Respect in all spaces by using your manners.
• Show Respect in all spaces by keeping to the left when passing pedestrians.
• Show Respect in classroom spaces by raising your hand and waiting patiently. 
• Show Respect in toilets by respecting others' privacy.
• Show Respect in all spaces by leaving spaces how you found them.
• Show Respect in toilets by respecting others' privacy.

SRC

The SRC students have been meeting with Miss Isaacson and Mrs Herbison. There have been some great discussions about the role of an SRC student and its importance in our St Michael's community. Each class contributed to what is working well and what are some things we can do at St Michael's to make it even better. There was lots of wonderful feedback and suggestions that were given. The SRC students have commenced looking at ideas that they can possibly implement and we will continue this at our next meeting on Monday afternoon. Great work so far everyone!
