Guildford Grammar School Code of Conduct

Policy Statement
Guildford Grammar School requires each and every member of the School Community to behave in a manner consistent with the School Code of Conduct.

Context
As an Anglican foundation Guildford Grammar School has a responsibility to its students, staff and parents to maintain a safe physical and emotional educational environment. The school recognises and promotes the innate worth of all people.

The School requires all members of its community to live and work by a Code informed by its Christian foundations and thus to develop attitudes, behaviour and conduct based on mutual respect and concern for each individual.

Our Code of Conduct is strongly aligned to the School values of Excellence, Respect, Integrity, Spirituality, Teamwork and Compassion.

This Code positively shapes and influences our culture. Our students, staff and other members of the School community will share a commitment to The Code as part of their engagement with the School. Our teams will interact in ways that reflect The Code. People will be held accountable for conduct or behaviour that does not align to The Code.

This Code of Conduct has been prepared having regard to the Australian Standard 8002-2003 'Organisational Code of Conduct'.
