Social Code

Teachers, ancillary staff, students and parents must work in partnership to ensure that all members of the IBIS community respect and value each other. The purpose of the Social Code is to provide a structure where student will feel safe, secure and supported. The 'Code of Conduct', included in the Social Code, reinforces the values and expectations IBIS wishes to promote. It is vital therefore, that we have the support and co-operation of must parents to reinforce these values. Please spend some time going through the Social Code and Explaining it to your child.
