Source: ACT. Minister for Education and Training. Media Release
"Minister for Education and Training Andrew Barr today launched the new Code of Conduct for public schools which outlines the behaviour expected of everyone attending, working at or visiting an ACT public school. Mr Barr said the Code of Conduct is the result of widespread consultation and a partnership between the ACT Government and the Safe Schools Taskforce, the ACT branch of the Australian Education Union (AEU), the ACT Council of Parents and Citizens’ Associations and the ACT Principals’ Association. The new Code of Conduct makes crystal clear the high standard of behaviour expected of all those who are on public school property,” Mr Barr said. Copies of the code will be displayed in schools and will add to the support available to them, while providing a guide for the standards of behaviour expected of those on public school property."
