Building a positive, respectful and supportive learning community
Rules and policies of our school are briefly outlined below. For full information and related forms, please follow the links to documents on the right.
The Mobile Phone Policy provides guidelines for parents and students about the use of mobile phones and other digital devices during school hours. Implementation of this policy is to maximise student learning time without distraction.
The Awards Policy outlines the principles and processes we use to drive a positive, values-driven culture. Our aim is to use rewards as a powerful mechanism for aligning actual behaviours and values with desired behaviours and values.
The enrolment agreement sets out the responsibilities of the student during the time they remain enrolled at Bracken Ridge State High School.
Assessment includes any assignment, research project, report, field study, exam, practical, oral or group presentation that is a measure of student performance. The aim of the policy is to ensure fairness and equity is maintained across the school, therefore supporting students to achieve to the best of their ability.
Bracken Ridge State High School recognises that student and school achievement is strongly linked to attendance and engagement in a program of school study. This policy refers to the processes and practices required to promote high attendance rates for all students.
Homework is an integral part of study, developing habits and skills of independent work, and self-directed learning necessary for career and personal development through life. This policy is provided to assist in this development.
The school supports and promotes a positive approach to embedding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Perspectives into our curriculum as outlined in the policy.
The school environment focuses on providing a positive, supportive and productive learning environment for all students. The policy clearly outlines the school's position on electronic devices.
The school uniform and dress code reflects our school community standards. All students are expected to comply fully with the school dress code endorsed and supported by the P&C Association and outlined in detail in the guidelines.
Access to information technology resources enhances learning and teaching in a school environment; however, strict guidelines must be adhered to that ensure a positive, supportive and productive learning environment for all students. The Policy includes the information technology agreement.
