We all know how we should behave towards one another and most of the time we do not need rules to remind us. However, the following is written down to avoid misunderstandings.

School Principles 

We promote high achievement in a vibrant learning community.

We provide a stimulating and caring environment so that all members of the school can grow in knowledge, skills, understanding and character and achieve to the best of their ability.

We have a strong sense of purpose. We encourage our students to be enthusiastic about learning and positive about the future; to have high self-esteem and be confident and successful in what they do; to have understanding and respect for others; to have the ability and desire to further their own development and contribute to the society in which we live.

We believe in equality of opportunity and in celebrating success of all kinds.

School Code

This is based upon a matter of good sense and concern for other people, as well as the smooth running of the school as a place of learning. All members of Park High School community are expected to: 

• Keep safe and keep others safe.
• Be part of a school that allows people to learn.
• Help others whenever you can.
• Bring credit to Park High School in our community.
• Make those you care about proud of you.

We encourage our students to have respect for others, ability and desire to further their own development and contribute to the society in which we live. Our School Code is frequently referenced and supports the high expectations and standards we have adopted. Students and parents are expected to sign a Home-School Agreement in the contact book to support this.
