This Code of Conduct is a summary of what the School expects of every student. These expectations are spelt out in more detail in the School Rules.

St. Hilda's is a Christian school. Its motto, Non Nobis Solum (Not for Ourselves Alone) forms the basis on which regulations regarding behaviour are founded. Human relationships should be characterised by care and concern for the other person, whether a staff member or another student. Bullying and harassing behaviour is never acceptable and students who offend may be asked to leave the School.

All students have a right to learn. Behaviour in the classroom and the library should at all times be conducive to learning. Disruptive behaviour will not be tolerated.

Respect for property is a value of our society. Each student is expected to help to maintain and protect the school's property and environment and her own property. Respect must be shown for the property of others. The School reserves the right to inspect student property and lockers and confiscate, where appropriate, items which are banned under the School Rules or Code of Conduct. Where there are reasonable grounds for suspicion, an inspection may be made without obtaining the student's prior consent.

Care and concern for others should be extended to members of the public, within the School grounds, on public transport and in public places.

A community depends on every member to contribute to its functioning. Every girl should contribute to the happiness and sense of community of her class. Courtesy, punctuality and orderly behaviour in and out of the classroom are required.

Girls should show pride in themselves and the School. All students are required to wear the correct uniform at all times. The manner in which it is worn should reflect the values of personal dignity, respect for others, and identification with the School community.

Respect for the law as well as the health and well being of the individual is important. Smoking, possession or drinking of alcohol and possession or taking of drugs are strictly forbidden. Students who do not respect the law in relation to these matters may be asked to leave the School.
