At college, we should:

At college, we do not:

– Hurt other people.
This includes: kicking, punching, hitting, pinching, saying / signing / sending hurtful messages, threatening others.

If you do not understand what these are, you can talk to staff.

– Bring these items into college:

What happens if students break the rules?

If I break college rules, there are disciplinary stages.

  • 1st stage warning – a meeting to talk about my behaviour
  • 2nd stage warning – another meeting where I will make an action plan
  • Final warning – I will be warned about exclusion
  • Exclusion means I cannot come to college for a while. If I am excluded, we will create an action plan for when I can return

If I return after exclusion and continue to break the rules…

  • Permanent expulsion – I cannot come back to college again
