Common Rules
This quality is shown when students use kind language and treat classmates’ belongings with care.
What is respect?
A student keeps laughing when another classmate is being teased, even though they aren’t doing the teasing themselves.
What is being a bystander
This word describes all items that belong to the school, such as books, furniture, and devices.
What is school property?
This rule reminds players to include everyone, say positive things, and check on others if they fall.
What is promoting kindness and good sportsmanship?
This idea helps students understand why rules are fair — because they are meant to protect both of these groups.
Who are the students and the teachers?
This is what teasing someone about their appearance is considered, even if the student claims it’s “just a joke.”
What is disrespectful or degrading behaviour?
A group of students repeatedly refuses to let a classmate sit with them at lunch, telling them “there’s no room” even when seats are empty.
What is social exclusion
This responsibility includes reporting broken materials instead of hiding the damage.
What is taking responsibility
This type of behaviour is forbidden because it can hurt someone: pushing with straight arms or grabbing someone’s shirt.
What is unfair or unsafe play?
This behaviour shows true integrity — doing the right thing even when no one can see you.
What is completing work honestly or making the right choice without being watched?
Sorting rubbish correctly helps students act in this environmentally responsible way.
What is being environmentally friendly?
A student secretly takes photos of a classmate during PE and sends them around the group chat to make fun of them.
What is cyberbullying?
These types of items — like laptops, rulers, books, and sports equipment — must be kept in good condition because everyone uses them.
What are shared resources?
This expectation explains why players cannot purposely shoot too hard, especially when others are in front of them.
What is protecting player safety?
This is the biggest risk when a student follows the rules but does not understand why the rules exist.
What is that they may stop following the rules when not supervised?
Arriving on time prevents this from being disrupted.
What is the learning environment?
A student tells a classmate, “Relax, it’s just a joke,” after making fun of their clothes every day and causing them to feel embarrassed.
What is repeated verbal bullying?
Treating classrooms, hallways, and school materials with care supports this kind of learning environment for all students.
What is a safe and respectful learning environment?
This rule explains why only one player on the field is allowed to use their hands — and only in a specific location.
What is the goalkeeper’s special role?
This long-term benefit explains why understanding school values is more powerful than memorising rules — it shapes the way students treat others, solve conflicts, and act in new situations where no rule has been written yet.
What is developing a personal moral compass?
Students help create a safe and happy school when they use this kind of language toward others.
What is respectful language?
A student notices that every morning for the past week, the same group of classmates “jokes” by hiding another student’s backpack. The student laughs along the first time, but by the third and fourth time the victim is upset, late to class, and afraid to put their bag down. The group insists it’s “just a prank.”
What is repeated bullying (bullying that happens 3 or more times)?
This underlying rule explains why students must not improve, decorate, or “upgrade” school items without permission — even when they believe they are helping.
What is respecting that school property cannot be altered without authorisation?
This principle bans time-wasting tactics such as trapping the ball in the corner or holding it too long, because these actions remove fairness and enjoyment for both teams.
What is ensuring the match stays fair and fun for everyone?
Students who understand values can work well with others because they share these.
What are common expectations or beliefs?
