Code Of Conduct - Jangjo High School

SCHOOL CODE OF CONDUCTS

What Is A Code Of Conduct? A code of conduct is a set of rules around behaviour for both the students and educators to follow within the school. The code acts as a standard that staff need to meet so that they can know what is expected of them to produce a generally more efficient business. Often mixed up with code of ethics, the code of conduct refers specifically to behaviour, whilst the ethics provides guidance on decision making skills that students and educators in the school environment.

Why is a code of conduct important ? A code of conduct serves not only as a set of internal guidelines for the students and educators to follow, but also as an external statement of corporate values and commitments. A code of conduct can:

• Define culture of the school.

• Set standards and expectations for students, educators, other staff to follow, when it comes to their behaviour. A well-written code of conduct clarifies organisation/school values and principles, linking them with standards of professional conduct when it comes to the behaviour of the staff as a whole. As a result, code of conduct set benchmarks for the school standard to live up to.
