  • At all times work and perform to the best of your ability (repeated failure to complete school work, homework and assessment tasks may result in being made ineligible to represent the school until the outstanding work is completed).

  • Be a good sport. Applaud all good plays whether your team or the opposition makes them
  • Treat all fellow students and participants in your sport as you like to be treated. Do not bully or take unfair advantage of other students or competitors.
