Code of Conduct

Code of Conduct

First of all, at NLPS, we believe that good behaviour, good manners, and a calm atmosphere lead to an effective learning environment that enables students to succeed. There is a Code of Conduct that all students are expected to follow to achieve a quality environment for everyone.

Students should:

  1. Arrive on time – ready to work.
  2. Follow instructions.
  3. Please show respect for others and their property.
  4. Work hard with all classwork.

OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM

Students should:

  1. Show good manners and politeness to all.
  2. Wear uniform correctly
  3. Behave appropriately
  4. No running or shouting around the school
  5. Show respect to the structure of the building.
  6. Never eat or drink anywhere in the building apart from the dining hall.
  7. Not drop litter anywhere in or around the school but dispose of it thoughtfully.

Please remember that:

Above all, we should treat each other and any visitors in the school with consideration and respect as we strive to do our best in everything we do. In this way, we will make NLPS a more effective, pleasant and attractive place for everybody.
