Tournament rules of conduct

Expectations The following guidelines and expectations fulfill the Sport and Activities Mission Statement. All schools have mission statements that speak of high academic expectations and high expectations for character development and community building. We believe extra-curricular trips demand an increased layer of behavioural expectations and that the elements of risk are heightened for teachers, administrators, parents, students and for the school due to the elevated of risk inherent in taking numbers of students off campus. has an obligation to ensure the safety of all students while participating on trips and we recognize that extra-curricular trips present additional challenges.

These trips require a great deal of logistics and a great deal of cooperation among many in order to be successful both for the sending schools and the hosting school. Housing and meal responsibilities, travel and transportation, referees, increased unsupervised time, covering classes missed by teachers, and other challenges combine to cause schools to expect more from all participants in these trips and activities. Taking students out of class and traveling requires increased cooperation, places greater responsibility and requires a higher level of behaviour for all involved, particularly students. The bar is raised higher during trips than otherwise. CEESA member schools believe this presents great opportunities for learning.

We expect all students to be polite, courteous, punctual, helpful, and respectful of cultural norms while on school trips. A good rule of thumb is when in doubt regarding a certain cultural norm, students are expected to ask an adult regarding appropriateness.

CEESA Infractions There are two Levels of infractions: Level I results in sending a student home, Level II discipline is at respective school. The following table outlines the Level I and Level II violations. In all cases, a determination by the students’ home school will be made whether a student in violation of any of the rules would benefit from counselling. Again, it is the intent of all CEESA schools to facilitate the

education of its students which includes involving professional counselling if deemed appropriate. If there is a repeat of any LEVEL I infraction, the involved student will be excluded for one calendar year from all CEESA events.

Level I

• Student Suspended for duration of event. • All reasonable efforts to return student at

parents’ expense. • Parents are informed. • Violation is recorded, and will be reflected

in students record and transcripts. • Student will be suspended for the

following CEESA season/activity period. • Student will be ineligible for CEESA

Awards

Level II

Violation of Curfew

• Parents are informed. • Student will be suspended for the

duration of the CEESA event • Student will be ineligible for CEESA

Awards • Additional consequences determined by

the severity of the curfew violation
