To respect other people’s property.
To respect other people’s opinions

For myself

I will try:

To give my best effort, even when I do not like something or find it difficult.
Where possible to join in out-of-class activities.
To admit my mistakes, put them right and learn from them.
To be honest.
To be respectful.

What we would like of parents.

Your role in the education of your child remains of crucial importance. The best learning is the result of home and school working together. We need your support:

To provide your child with the optimum conditions for learning by:
1. Making certain that he or she comes to school prepared and arrives punctually.
2. Ensuring that homework is completed.
3. Avoiding time out of term unless essential.
To come and see us promptly if you are not happy with any school matters, rather than conveying your concern to your child.
To support us on school policy and in areas of behaviour and dress.
To let us know immediately if anything happens at home that might affect your child at school.
To try to help him understand that we have to consider everybody’s best interests and to cope with any disappointments positively.

Thus building a partnership involving you, your child and the school.
