The School has set clear guidelines in relation to student behaviour and these are detailed in the School Policy Handbook and on our Secure Website. In general terms we work from the principle that effective communities instil their own sense of worthwhile purpose and endeavour without becoming over reliant upon pedantic regulations. Students perform best when they feel safe, valued, independent and recognised for their achievements. Naturally, this is conditional upon students demonstrating respect for others and working within the parameters of a School Code of Behaviour: something we prefer to call ‘School Philosophy’. Our discipline is ‘firm yet fair’, allowing students to take meaningful steps through childhood into adolescence. The relationship between a student's tutor and home is fundamentally important.

It is a core belief that leadership should be practised often and by as many students as possible. We believe that all leadership begins with leading oneself and finding ways in which to contribute positively to a school community. While the School appoints a prefect body from which the Senior Prefect is chosen, it also extends the principle of ‘servant leadership’ through the House system and a comprehensive Portfolio system. Portfolios cover many aspects of school life and permit a variety of leadership types and skills to contribute energetically to our community experience.
