Class Rules
Resources are used responsibly.
No food or drinks allowed except for water.
No technology (phones, iPod, EarPods) is allowed in school and must remain in your bag.
School uniforms must be worn according to school rules.
Raise your hand if you have a question.
Speak respectfully and use respectful language.
Come to class ready to learn; be resilient throughout the lesson.
Violation of class rules may result in detention, with three consecutive detentions leading to further consequences.
