High expectations help create excellence

Standards

The rules of HIBS are based on the essential beliefs and values comprising the Special Character of the School.

The school’s ‘Code of Behaviour’ is built on the concepts of courtesy, consideration, co-operation and common sense.

A positive working environment will ensure we can teach and learn effectively and productively. The following rules are essential and will be applied consistently in all classrooms.

Students are expected to:

Arrive at class quietly and on time.
Wear correct uniform and bring the right equipment.
Listen to the teacher and follow instructions.
Respect the rights of others to learn.
Treat others with courtesy and consideration.
Refrain from eating, drinking or chewing gum in class.
Act respectfully. Language must be appropriate at all times.
Be controlled and quiet as they leave the class.
Leave the room clean and tidy for the next class.
Contribute positively to class ensuring all members of the School enjoy a happy and safe learning environment.

Students are expected to behave appropriately at all times. Disruptive behaviour is unacceptable and risks the learning opportunities of other students. Disruptive behaviour is defined as conduct by any student which prevents the class teacher from fulfilling his/her teaching responsibilities to the class as a whole and/or prevents other students from learning.

It is essential that everyone at HIBS knows and understands the school expectations so that the School can run smoothly and safely and everyone can benefit.
