Ambleside Code of Personal Conduct
Adult example has a profound effect on the formation of the hearts of children. Thus, all members of the Ambleside community - parents, teachers, staff and students - are expected to maintain a standard of personal conduct consistent with the teachings of Jesus on virtue and the relational life. All members of the Ambleside community are expected to:
Demonstrate consistent care for all persons, treating all with kindness, respect, and generosity; never engaging in any behaviour (including verbal) which would be damaging, disrespectful or demeaning of another person, child or adult.
Be diligent in fulfilling all tasks related to one’s responsibilities, maintaining a high quality of work, honesty and integrity.
Be careful and gracious in speech, avoiding any profane speech and never making a public statement (in any medium, including e-mail/SMS and social networking sites) regarding the school or any member of the Ambleside community which can be considered injurious to the reputation of another person or the school.
Handle all concerns and grievances in a constructive manner, as detailed in the ASHB Teacher, Parent and School Board Handbooks.
Avoid all illegal activities including illegal drug use, theft, vandalism and fraudulent activity.
Avoid activities destructive to relationships such as outbursts of rage, violence, stealing, lying or cheating.
Be moderate and appropriate in the consumption of alcohol, avoiding drunkenness and never giving alcohol or tobacco products to a minor. (This is not to preclude parents serving, with meals, limited amounts of wine or beer to their own children.)
Protect the dignity of human sexuality and the virtue of chastity.
