We come across all kinds of people in our lives. Some people we like, some people we don’t.  Some people will like you and some people won’t and that’s perfectly fine.  The biggest thing to remember is that when we come across personalities that may not share the same values as you, always remain kind.  Sometimes there are unknown reasons for people to act the way they are.

As quoted by Andrea Russett, ‘You will just never know what someone is dealing with behind closed doors.  No matter how happy someone looks, how loud their laugh is, how big their smile is, there can still be a level of hurt that is indescribable.  So be kind.  Even when others are not, choose to be kind’.

Cust School uses SchoolDocs to review and update our policies and procedures.

In term 3 we are reviewing topics in the Employer Responsibilities section. See the full 2024 Review Schedule and Board Assurances .

Who reviews our policies and procedures?
