4. Behaviour
• The behaviour at SRC is average.
• If you miss behave in class, you get either:

A blue slip is a sort of slip you get when you be bad in class or not wear uniform or do not participate in
certain group activities or just don’t do what your told.
We also have a Good Standing Policy. If you keep your good standing up, at the end of each term, the
teachers organise a rewards day. That’s a day where all students go out for the day and do a fun activity.
