​​​Our CBE Student Code of Conduct and CBE Progressive Student Discipline regulation apply to all of our students. They outline the roles and expectations for our students to promote positive and inclusive learning environments, help students to develop empathy and become good citizens both within and outside of the school community, and explain the consequences when a student’s disruptive behaviour negatively affects the learning environment.

Our CBE Employee Code of Conduct applies to all of our employees. The CBE maintains high standards for the conduct of its employees, and expects them to conduct themselves honestly and with integrity and exercise common sense, good judgment and discretion.​​​​

Progressive Student Discipline

Students are entitled to welcoming, caring, respectful and safe learning environments that respect diversity and nurture a sense of belonging and a positive sense of self. 

The discipline policy of the school is guided by The Alberta Education Act and the protocols established in the Calgary Board of Education Policies and Regulations documents which can be found on the Calgary Board of Education website by searching “Administrative Regulations.” 

Aims of Progressive Discipline

  • to develop independent, responsible citizens
  • to protect the rights of everyone
  • to develop in every child the capacity for positive self-discipline
  • to maintain conditions throughout the school and in each classroom that make effective learning possible for every child
  • to develop in each child the capacity of objective decision making, based on analysis of alternative courses of action and the consequences of these alternatives.
