Respect Policy

RESPECT POLICY

At Catholic Regional College Caroline Springs we believe that in order to Live Fully and Act Justly all members of the community need to respect each other.
Respect is having admiration for a person’s or things good qualities but this is just a tip of the iceberg about respect.
Respect is many things, it’s not just being polite and being kind it is also about not leaving people out and accepting people’s decisions.
It’s treating everyone equally and being loyal. It’s making others feel welcomed and treating them the way you want to be treated.
It is also about being caring towards each other, and having self respect; it’s not being racist, and not judging people.
In order to do this we need to acknowledge and respect the rights and responsibilities of everyone.
