procedures and other School-related information are contained in this Handbook.
Please review the information; if you have questions about any of the information,

MISSION AND GOALS

Our Mission
The mission of Delia School of Canada is to provide opportunities for students to
develop their intellectual, physical and social abilities in a multi-cultural
environment.
We value the following

Lifelong learning
Excellence in teaching
High standards of behavior
Respect for diversity
High scholastic standards
Commitment to literacy
CODE OF CONDUCT
Introduction
A school is a place that promotes responsibility, respect, civility and academic
excellence in a safe learning and teaching environment. All students, parents,
teachers and staff have the right to be safe, and feel safe, in their school
community. With this right comes the responsibility to be law-abiding citizens and
to be accountable for actions that put at risk the safety of others or oneself.
In order to create and maintain a safe learning and teaching environment, parents
and students must review the expectations of behavior outlined in the Code of
Conduct, the Appropriate Use of Learning Technologies, as well as classroom
expectations outlined by your teacher. Students are expected to meet these
expectations in the classrooms, hallways and when off campus when in uniform
and/or at School-sanctioned events.
Delia School of Canada supports an approach to student discipline that is based on
the principles of progressive discipline. This means not only is it fair, equitable and
consistent, but consequences are connected to the specific situation. These
consequences may include, but are not limited to, counseling, signing a behavioral
contract, detention, suspension and others deemed appropriate. Students who
commit violent or serious acts which may endanger the safety and security of
students and staff may be suspended or expelled from the School.
Page 16
Guiding Principles
All participants involved in Delia School of Canadastudents, parents or
guardians, volunteers, teachers and other staff membersare included in this
Code of Conduct whether they are on school property, on school buses or at
school-authorized events or activities.
All members of the school community are to be treated with respect and
dignity.
Responsible citizenship involves appropriate participation in the civic life of the
school community. Active and engaged citizens are aware of their rights, but
more importantly, they accept responsibility for protecting their rights and the
rights of others.
Members of the school community are expected to use non-violent means to
resolve conflict. Physically aggressive behavior is not a responsible way to
interact with others.
The possession, use or threatened use of any object to injure another person
endangers the safety of oneself and others.
Alcohol and illegal drugs are addictive and present a health hazard. Delia
School of Canada will work cooperatively with police, drug and alcohol agencies
to promote prevention strategies and, where necessary, respond to school
members who are in possession of, or under the influence of, alcohol or illegal
drugs.
Insults, disrespect, and other hurtful acts disrupt learning and teaching in a
school community. Members of the school community have a responsibility to
maintain any environment where conflict and difference can be addressed in a
manner characterized by respect and civility.
Roles and Responsibilities
The Principal, Deputy Principal and Assistant Principal, under the direction of their
school management committee, take a leadership role in the daily operation of a
school. They provide this leadership by:
demonstrating care and commitment to academic excellence and a safe

teaching and learning environment;
holding everyone, under their authority, accountable for their behavior and
actions;
communicating regularly and meaningfully with all members of their school
community.
Head Teacher, Team Leaders, Teachers and School Staff, under the leadership of
their Principal, Deputy Principal and Assistant Principal, maintain order in the school
and are expected to hold everyone to the highest standard of respectful and
Page 17
responsible behavior. As role models, staff upholds these high standards when
they:
help students work to their full potential and develop their self-worth;
communicate regularly and meaningfully with parents;
maintain consistent standards of behavior for all students;
demonstrate respect for all students, staff and parents;
prepare students for the full responsibilities of citizenship.
Students are to be treated with respect and dignity. In return, they must
demonstrate respect for themselves, for others and for the responsibilities of
citizenship through acceptable behavior. Respect and responsibility are
demonstrated when a student:
comes to school prepared, on time and ready to learn;
shows respect for themselves, for others and for those in authority;
refrains from bringing anything to school that may compromise the safety of
others;
follows the established rules and takes responsibility for his or her own action.
Parents/Guardians play an important role in the education of their children and
have a responsibility to support the efforts of school staff in maintaining a safe and
respectful learning environment for all students. Parents fulfill this responsibility
when they:
show an active interest in their childs school work and progress;
communicate regularly with the school;
help their child be neat, appropriately dressed and prepared for school;
ensure that their child attends school regularly and on time;
promptly report to the school their childs absence or late arrival;
become familiar with the Code of Conduct and school rules;
encourage and assist their child in following the rules of behavior;
assist school staff in dealing with disciplinary issues.
Police and community members are essential partners in making our schools and
communities safer. Community members need to support and respect the rules of
their local schools. Police investigate incidents in accordance with the protocol
developed with the school.
Standards of Behaviour
All school members must:
respect and comply with all applicable Hong Kong laws and ordinances;
demonstrate honesty and integrity;
respect differences in people, their ideas and opinions;
Page 18
treat one another with dignity and respect at all times, and especially when
there is disagreement;
respect and treat others fairly, regardless of their race, ancestry, place of origin,
ethnic origin, citizenship, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age or disability;
respect the rights of others;
show proper care and regard for school property and the property of others;
take appropriate measures to help those in need;
respect persons who are in position of authority;
respect the need of others to work in an environment of learning and teaching.
ACADEMIC RESPONSIBILITY
Learning is an active process. The teachers provide learning opportunities and
support in the classroom, and extra help during recess and after school.
Students take advantage of these learning opportunities by:
attending school daily
participating in class activities to the best of their abilities in every subject

every day
asking questions and seeking assistance when needed
trying their best all the time
checking the wiki daily
participating in on-line, teacher assigned chats on the wiki
completing to the best of their abilities all assignments including homework on

time
Parents and guardians support student learning by:
supervising homework
maintaining open communication with their childs teacher(s)
discussing concerns with their childs teacher(s)
attending Report Card Conferences

Assessment of all learning takes place on an on-going basis in the classroom.
Students are reminded to use their class time effectively to complete all
assignments in class during the time allotted. Only assignments worked on in class
will be assessed. Only that which is completed in the time allotted in class will be
assessed.
Students are reminded as well of the importance of academic honesty. Students
must always do their own work. When a student has difficulty with an assignment,
the student must ask the teacher for assistance. A student must never copy,
intentionally or unintentionally, another persons work. This includes the work of
Page 19
other students; of brothers, sisters or parents; and material found on websites and/
or in books. Students must not have a tutor complete their work for them.
Copying anothers work is called plagiarism. Throughout the year, teachers provide
lessons on how to avoid plagiarism in completing assignments, and provide ongoing support to students in completing assignments, preparing for assessments,
and using research materials.
Students who plagiarize and/or cheat on tests or assignments will be asked, under
the teachers supervision after school, to re-do the assignment. The assignment
then will be re-evaluated without penalty. However, parents and School
Administration will be informed of incidents involving cheating and plagiarism and
the steps taken by the teacher to address the plagiarism. Repeated plagiarism will
result in consequences including a parent meeting and possible suspension. The
same applies to students who repeatedly cheat on tests.
ACCESS TO CAMPUS
Access to the Campus is available via the main entrance (Grades 1-6), Elementary
Section entrance (PG1) on Tai Fung Avenue and Po Shan Mansion. For student dropoff and pick-up, the main entrance is open daily Monday to Friday from 8:00am
8:30am and again from 3:00pm 4:00pm. During the remainder of the day, all
visitors must sign in at the Security Desk.
The Po Shan entrance is open from 8:00 8:30am and 3:15 4:15pm only.
ATTENDANCE
Regular attendance at school is required. Learning is an on-going process involving
student participation in classroom activities and continuous, ongoing assessments.
Students who are not in school cannot participate and cannot have their learning
assessed by their teachers.
Parents are asked to keep this in mind when extending vacations beyond the
designated school holidays. Because of the focus on in-class activities and
assessments, packages of assignments are not available. Students are, however,
encouraged to check the wiki when absent.
Absent: Parents or guardians are asked to contact the Elementary Office before
8:15 am on a day when their child is absent. If no phone call is received, the Office
will phone the parent or guardian.
Page 20
If a parent or guardian knows in advance that a student will be absent, the parent
or guardian is asked to inform the Office as far in advance as possible.
Late: A student who is late, who arrives after the morning bell, must report to the
Office, obtain a Late Admission Form, go to class and enter quietly, and give the
Late Admission Form to the teacher. Multiple lates will be brought to the attention
of the parent or guardian.

Page 22
COMMUNICATION SCHOOL & HOME

The School, the parents, and the student form a partnership that plays a vital role in
nurturing the students success at school. Therefore, communication between the
School and home is very important. Parents are encouraged to maintain an
on-going dialogue with the School. Parents can communicate with teachers directly
through formal and informal scheduled meetings, via email or notes, and/or by
telephone. Teacher email addresses can be found on the Schools website.
Parents are asked to contact the classroom teacher to discuss any concerns. If, after
communicating with the classroom teacher, the concern has not been resolved, the
parents are invited to contact the Head Teacher who then will address the concern
and, where appropriate, refer the concern to the Assistant Principal.
COMMUNITY CHEST
One way of encouraging civic awareness is through participation in activities that
benefit the larger community. In the Elementary Section, participation in
Community Chest Dress Casual Days is one such activity. Community Chest is an
organization in Hong Kong supporting those in Hong Kong who are in need. Delia
School of Canada supports Community Chest by donating all money collected
through fund-raising activities to Community Chest.

students participating in Dress Casual Day. All money collected is donated to
Community Chest.

ENGLISH
English is the medium of communication on Campus throughout the entire day
except during the International Language Program. Therefore, a good proficiency of
the English language is important at Delia School of Canada. As with the
development of any skill, the only way to improve ones English is through as much
practice as possible.
Therefore, students are encouraged to use English throughout the day both
inside and outside the classroom, during lessons and while playing during recess and
before and after school.
Students requiring extra assistance with English language development may be
enrolled in English as a Second Language courses scheduled in their daily timetable
and/or in the After-School Academic Program. Information about the After-School
Academic Program is available at the Office.
EVACUATION AND LOCKDOWN PROCEDURES
The safety of our students is a number one priority. As such, the School has in place
procedures to deal with various possible threats from internal (Lockdown), external
(Hold and Secure) and environmental (Shelter in Place) sources.
There is also an evacuation procedure and evacuation route for every room on
Campus. Students should take time to become familiar with the procedures and
routes. The teachers are aware of the procedure for evacuating the campus and the
exit routes to be used in the event of an emergency. Evacuation drills are carried
out during the school year.
During an evacuation, students are asked to remain silent, to listen for instructions
from the teachers and/or other School staff, and to follow those instructions. This is
to ensure the safety of all members of the School community.
FIELD TRIPS
Field trips are a means to extend student learning of curriculum content outside the
classroom and are directly tied to the curriculum expectations. Information and a
Permission Form are sent home in advance of a field trip explaining the relevance to
the curriculum and details such of date, time and cost of the trip. A signed
Permission Form must be returned to the School indicating that a parent or
guardian has given permission for the student to go on the field trip. Please note
that only students returning signed reply slips granting permission may participate.
Students not participating in the field trip are expected to remain at home for the
day.
Page 27
Students, unless instructed otherwise, are to wear their P.E. uniform on field trips.
GRADUATION
The Pre-Grade 1 Graduation Ceremony is held in June for all students of Pre-Grade
1A to mark the transition to Grade 1.
The Grade 6 Completion Ceremony is held in June for all students in Grade 6 to
mark the completion of Primary and Junior education in the Elementary Section and
their move to the Secondary Section.
Please see the School Year Calendar for the dates of these two events.
HOMEWORK
The purpose of homework is to consolidate and reinforce learning that has occurred
in the classroom during the school day, or to help prepare you for the next days
activities by previewing materials.
Homework activities include:
completing classroom work, that is not to be assessed, begun in class but not
completed
practicing and applying skills taught in class that have not yet been mastered
collecting information to be used in class
reviewing in preparation for in-class assessments
being read to, reading aloud, and reading independently
previewing material for the next class

The amount of time a student spends on homework depends on a number of
factors:
the students grade
the students needs
the specific subject and its level of difficulty for the student
the students in-class work habits.

As such, teachers will use the following as a guideline:
PG1: Homework will not be assigned. Rather, families are encouraged to engage in
early learning activities such as playing, talking, and reading together in English or in
the familys first language.
Grades 1 3: 1 2 hours per week on average
Grades 4 6: 2 3 hours per week on average
Page 28
Ultimately, the amount of homework and the amount of time required to complete
will be based on the support a student needs to be successful in meeting program
requirements.
Finally, parents are encouraged to be proactive and supportive of their childs
learning process. In the early years, create a culture of learning, curiosity and
exploration with a strong focus on reading. Research has shown that parents
reading with their children is the single most important factor in helping a child
acquire language, be prepared for school, and in developing a love of learning. Once
they acquire basic literacy skills, encourage them to read continuously throughout
their school years and beyond.
IMMUNIZATION
