The Code of Conduct unites staff, students, parents, regular volunteers, visitors and other members of our school community in defining, modelling and promoting the safety and wellbeing of students and all members of the community.

You can view the full LCPS Code of Conduct here.

Purpose: The purpose of the Code of Conduct is to describe minimum standards of conduct in all behaviour and decision-making to ensure the safety and well-being of students are prioritised and protected. 

Application: The Code applies to staff, students, volunteers, parents and guardians. 

Obligations:  

• • As an adult who has a connection with LCPS, you are obliged to comply with this Code 
  • You are also obliged to report any breaches of this Code that you identify to the Principal (or delegate) as soon as possible.   
  • To notify the Principal of a Breach, please contact the principal: in person directly;  by phone; or by completing the online Breach Report here:  https://forms.office.com/r/j3XeJGmHUa  

Breaches: 

• Parents, Guardians, Contractors, Visitors & Volunteers: The Principal is authorised to take such action as deemed appropriate to ensure/maintain the safety and wellbeing of all is protected. 
• Staff: A breach of the Code may constitute a failure to follow a lawful direction from the Principal and therefore the Principal will have the discretion and authority as to what action to take to ensure and maintain the safety and wellbeing of all is protected. 

Consistent, accurate and correct recording of student attendance is a legal requirement for teachers in schools in Western Australia. Leschenault Catholic Primary School monitors and manages student attendance on a regular basis in order to ensure students are attending school consistently to maximize the opportunity for all students to learn.

As a school community, our staff, parents and students understand that we all have a part to play in creating a school environment where our students flourish and thrive.  We want every student at LCPS to feel safe, successful, respected, welcome and happy.

Our Behaviour Management Plan is underpinned by our Student Code of Conduct that was developed by our students with our staff and has a strong emphasis on promoting and encouraging our desired behaviours.   We focus on the “Responsibilities” that we require students to demonstrate so that the “Rights” of every student are met at LCPS.

• Pre-Kindy, Kindy and Pre-Primary students must be picked up from the classroom. Pre-Kindy and Kindy classes are released earlier at 2:50 to ease traffic congestion.
•  We encourage Yr 1-6 families to use the Kiss and Drop Stations rather than parking when at all possible.
• All students who are not picked up directly from their classroom are required to move directly to one of our two Kiss and Drop Stations located on Challenger Rise (outside PP) or around the corner from the Kindy (accessed from Mardo Avenue).
• After school, students are not permitted to wait out the front of the school and must go directly to the supervised Kiss and Drop Stations.

Students travelling home from school by bus are dismissed from classes at 3:00 pm. A staff member will supervise all students until they have been picked up by the bus company. Please contact the front office for further details.

Approved Volunteers will be provided a “Visitor Pass”. Teacher’s must ensure all volunteers have a school approved “Visitor Pass” before allowing the volunteer to assist.
