Putting them into practice from day one will give you the best possible chance of success both while you are here and later in your career and life. For this reason, at the College we behave and treat others as we would in a professional environment and we expect high standards of behaviour from all our students and staff. These expectations of behaviour are clearly set out from the moment you join the College and are there so that everyone has the opportunity to learn, to do the best they can and to feel safe and supported. The expectations apply to all students – not just in classrooms but in all areas of the College. Any member of College staff can challenge your behaviour and ask you to identify yourself by showing them your ID card. We expect you to take personal responsibility for your own success. This means that you: • Attend all your classes on time Wear your College ID at all times • Arrive ready to learn and with the right uniform and equipment • Meet your deadlines • Take an active part in lessons and do your fair share of group work • Cooperate and communicate with staff and other students • Act as if you are in a professional working environment • Keep a healthy balance between your work, study and social commitments
