UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS 17. You have the right to own things and nobody has the right to take these from you without a good reason. 18. You have the right to profess your religion freely, to change it, and to practise it either on your own or with other people. 19.

Your works as an artist, writer, or a scientist should be protected, and you should be able to benefit from them. 28. So that your rights will be respected, there must be an ‘order’ which can protect them. This ‘order’ should be local and worldwide. 29. You have duties towards the community within which your personality can only fully develop. The law should guarantee human rights. It should allow everyone to respect others and to be respected. 30. In all parts of the world, no society, no human being, should take it upon her or himself to act in such a way as to destroy the rights which you have just been reading about.

ADELAIDE HIGH SCHOOL RULES “If my actions or behaviour in any way offend, or interfere with the rights of others, then my actions and behaviour must be considered inappropriate.” Our School rules are based on this single concept.

ADELAIDE HIGH SCHOOL RULES Detention Policy At Adelaide High School we have a Detention session after school on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. Detention concludes at 4.00 pm. Students may be placed on detention for infringement of school rules such as: ¨¨ Truancy ¨¨ Uniform infringements ¨¨ Litter infringements ¨¨ Chewing gum Students will be given at least 24 hours notification of detention. They will receive an orange slip to take home for parents/carers to sign prior to attending detention. The student is to return the slip to school and hand the slip to the teacher on duty for detention. Failure to return a signed detention slip may result in another detention or another appropriate consequence.
Community Service Students who sign in late on any school day without a note from parents/carers will be given yard duty on that day. Students report to staff on yard duty during recess or lunchtime and are required to pick up papers. Teachers may also place students on lunchtime yard duty for lateness to lesson.
Withdrawal from Class Students may be withdrawn from class during lessons due to inappropriate behaviour, consistent interruptions or failure to work. Repeated withdrawal from class will result in parents, the teacher and the House Manager meeting to explore strategies to further support the student.
Internal Suspension Internal suspension is used as a consequence for various breaches of school discipline. It is a strategy which is not used lightly and it is arranged and managed by the Principal,
Assistant Principals and/or House Managers when other measures have not led to changes in behaviour. It is also a possible disciplinary option for the school after a student has been referred to the Withdrawal Room for a 5th occasion. A student on internal suspension must remain in a restricted area. The extent of the internal suspension could be from one to two days, but it may lead to external suspension in some cases if the student persists in displaying irresponsible behaviour.
Take Home “Take home” is not suspension. It is used in a behavioural emergency. This situation occurs when a student is unwilling or unable to comply with reasonable directions from teachers and is endangering himself or herself, or other members of the school community, or is interfering with the learning and teaching rights of other members of the school community. In such circumstances a student can be accompanied home by a parent.
External Suspension Suspension from school is an appropriate response when the Principal has reasonable grounds to believe that:
¨¨ the student has threatened or perpetrated violence; ¨¨ the student has acted in a manner which threatens the good order of the school by persistently refusing to follow the school’s behaviour code; ¨¨ the student has acted in a manner which threatens the safety or well-being of a student, member of staff or other person through sexual or racist harassment, verbal abuse, bullying or any other means; ¨¨ the student is interfering with the rights of other students to learn and of teachers to teach; ¨¨ the student shows persistent and wilful inattention or indifference to school work.
Acknowledgement of the Behaviour policy I have read the information regarding the behaviour policy at Adelaide High School. As part of the Adelaide High School community, I support the policy and agree to abide by it. Signature of Student

UNIFORM The school has a Uniform Committee which reviews details of the uniform and reports to the Governing Council. The Committee is made up of representatives of staff, students and parents. The wearing of the school uniform is one of the strong traditions of Adelaide High School. The school recognises the diversity of its community and respects the cultural and religious beliefs of its members. At times, therefore, special allowances are made to support the beliefs of students and families with regard to the uniform. In cases where the uniform code does not cater for individual requirements, parents/carers are requested to discuss this with the House Assistant Principal. The House Assistant Principal will make a decision regarding any exceptions. The school uniform should be worn with pride and in an appropriate manner.

ICT ACCEPTABLE USE The computer network, Internet access facilities, computers and other ICT equipment/devices bring great benefits to the teaching and learning programs at Adelaide High School, and to the effective operation of the school. The Adelaide High School ICT Acceptable Use Agreement for students is designed to ensure that the computer network, Internet access facilities, computers and other ICT equipment/ devices used at Adelaide High School enhance the School’s teaching and learning programs in keeping with our values and with legislative obligations and provide a safe learning environment. To assist us and to enhance learning through the safe use of information and communication technologies (ICTs), we are now asking you to read this document and sign the attached Use Agreement Form. The Use Agreement includes information about your obligations, responsibilities, and the nature of possible consequences associated with cyber-safety breaches that undermine the safety of the school environment. Rigorous cyber-safety practices are in place at Adelaide High School, which include Acceptable Use Agreements for staff. Child protection education, such as the Keeping Safe child protection curriculum, includes information about remaining safe when using new technologies and is provided to all students. Material sent and received using the network may be monitored, and filtering and/or monitoring software may be used to restrict access to certain sites and data, including e-mail. Where a student is suspected of an electronic crime, this will be reported to the South Australia Police. Where a personal electronic device such as a mobile phone is used to capture images of a crime, such as an assault, the device will be confiscated and handed to the police. While every reasonable effort is made by schools and Department for Education administrators to prevent student’s exposure to inappropriate content when using the department’s online services, it is not possible to completely eliminate the risk of such exposure. In particular, Department for Education cannot filter Internet content accessed by your child from home, from other locations away from school or on mobile devices owned by your child. Department for Education recommends the use of appropriate Internet filtering software. More information about Internet filtering can be found on the websites of the office of the esafety Commissioner (https://esafety.gov.au), the Kids Helpline at http://www.kidshelp.com.au and Bullying No Way at http://www.bullyingnoway.com.au. Please contact the Principal, if you have any concerns about your child’s safety in using the Internet and ICT equipment/devices.
Important Terms ‘Cyber-safety’ refers to the safe use of the Internet and ICT equipment/devices, including mobile phones. ‘Cyber bullying’ is bullying which uses e-technology as a means of victimising others.

SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES ¨¨Put clean rubbish (like recycling) in your pocket until the right bin is available. If you use the wrong bin (eg. recycling), the whole bag goes to general waste and damages the environment further. ¨¨Avoid throwing waste on the floor!! ¨¨Use a reusable container from home to bring food (sandwiches) and avoid single-use wrappings. ¨¨Print double-sided and two-pages on each side of the paper when you can. ¨¨Avoid individually packaged foodstuffs. eg. buy large packets of chips and not seven packs inside a larger packet. ¨¨Bring home-made food to school – this is usually a cheaper option anyway! ¨¨Use scrap paper!!! ¨¨Bring your own cutlery from home. Refer to: https://www.coolaustralia.org/ for more sustainable practices
FUN FACTS ¨¨If you print two per page and double sided you can print four times as much! (for the same cost) ¨¨Recycling one ton of paper saves 17 trees ¨¨You can drink without a straw! (or use a reusable metal straw if you are an enthusiast) ¨¨2.6% of biodiversity belongs to Australia alone. This is why taking care of our environment is very important
