Noranda Primary School believes the wearing of a school uniform promotes a sense of belonging amongst students. Students are required to adhere to the Student Dress Code Policy. The Student Dress Code is determined by the School Board in consultation with students, their parents and staff of the school.
The Department of Education does not permit student use of mobile phones in public schools unless for medical or teacher directed educational purpose.
It is important to note that it is not a requirement for students to have a mobile phone at school for teacher directed educational purposes at Noranda Primary School.
Noranda Primary School recognises that an increasing number of parents/carers who for safety, security and/or emergency purposes wish to provide their children with mobile phones.
Students are valued at Noranda Primary School. We believe in a caring school environment that encourages children to make the right choices. In this nurturing environment children need to have fair, but firm boundaries that are followed. These boundaries are reinforced by clear expectations.
Homework assists students by complementing and reinforcing the teaching and learning program. It provides students with the opportunity to develop positive lifelong learning habits as well as reinforcing the importance of responsibility and independence.
These guidelines sit within the context of the Department of Education Policy for Homework.
