Behaviour and Expectations

At Corpus Christi Catholic College, we aim to foster a welcoming, caring and inclusive Christian learning environment where strong relationships are built on mutual respect, consideration and dignity for others.

All staff are committed to maintaining high standards of behaviour and conduct. Through clear expectations, positive recognition and appropriate rewards, we aim to encourage students to make positive choices, develop self-discipline and take responsibility for their actions. This enables every student to fulfil their potential and supports their happiness, wellbeing and success during their time at Corpus Christi Catholic College.

Rewards and Recognition

At Corpus Christi Catholic College, positive behaviour is recognised and encouraged. Students who demonstrate our expected standards of behaviour, respect, effort and conduct may receive appropriate praise, recognition and rewards.

Our approach aims to ensure that students understand not only the consequences of inappropriate behaviour, but also the value of making positive choices and contributing to our College community.

• Follow reasonable instructions from staff.
• Take responsibility for their choices and actions.
• Complete assigned work and participate positively in learning.
• Contribute to a welcoming and respectful College community.
