Cashmere Avenue School has adopted the Fair Play Code of Conduct for players, coaches and parents. The Fair Play code is designed to encourage positive attitudes about sport, setting the right tone and helping to make the game a success for everyone involved. The Fair Play scheme has separate codes of conduct for players, coaches and parents which outlines the desirable attitudes and behaviour for each group. While Cashmere Learners ‘aim for excellence’ they are also ‘empathetic, full of self-pride, respectful and considerate’. We expect all Cashmere Learners, that is students, staff and parents, to abide by the Fair Play code.
