  • All students, staff and visitors are free from any form of discrimination
  • The College will maintain a zero-tolerance stance on discrimination or abuse of any kind
  • Every student should feel comfortable to report issues when they occur (either when a victim or bystander) to either key staff or via relevant electronic platforms such as ReportIt@.
  • Staff and volunteers set an excellent example to students at all times
  • Rewards, sanctions and reasonable force are when necessary used in a consistent manner by staff, in line with the relevant policies
  • The Management of Behaviour Policy is understood by staff and students and underpins the guiding principles of the College of ‘Believe Succeed’
  • The Governing Board supports the College in emphasising that violence of any kind or threatening behaviour will not be tolerated in any circumstances
