This Code of Behaviour has been prepared in accordance with the guidelines “Developing a Code of Behaviour: Guidelines for Schools” published by the National Educational Welfare Board (NEWB, 2008). The Code of Behaviour also conforms with legislation as required by Section 23 of the Education Welfare Act (2000). Parents, staff, children and members of the school community have been involved in the development of this Code.

The Code of Behaviour needs to be read in association with the school “Anti-bullying” and “Child Protection” policies. When parents/guardians enrol their child in Scoil Chéile Chríost, Rathmore National School they are agreeing to support the implementation of the Code of Behaviour and other policies in the school.
