Introduction

At the beginning of May 2014 parents, teachers, students, Ministry staff, Department of Education staff and other stakeholders were consulted about issues related to school discipline and student behaviour. In particular, views were sought about the code of conduct, home-school agreement and how current policies were being implemented.

We would like to thank you for your views as they have been invaluable in us working together to develop positive learning environments in our schools. As a result of these consultations, guidance documents have been drafted and will form the final policy guidance that is communicated to schools, parents and the community in preparation for the new school year 14/ 15. The following draft documents have been provided for your review and feedback:

Home-school Agreement
Student Code of Conduct- Teacher Guidance
