School Expectations
Working together in collaboration, students, parents and teachers have come up with a set of expectations based around the three pillars of Respect, Responsibility and Co-operation.
When you enter Grange Community College as a student, you agree to make every effort to meet these expectations. By doing so, together, we succeed in creating a safe, healthy learning environment that nurtures self-discipline and encourages students to take responsibility for their own learning. Learning to meet these expectations promotes co-operation, team work and commitment within the school and community so that all are unified as partners in learning for life.
