A Review from the Parent Student Handbook:
This cycle we will go back to the Code of Conduct section of the Parent and Student Handbook and look at the Rs in turn. We will begin with the first of BIBA’s Rs, Respect.
CODE OF CONDUCT
All members of the BIBA community are to conduct themselves with regard to four overarching attributes and skills of Respect, Responsibility, Rigor, and Relationships.
