  • are feeling safe and happy
  • are working to the best of their ability
  • have a safe and positive learning environment
  • have positive interaction with peers
  • select the course appropriate to individual needs

Students can approach the deans at any time with concerns. Staff with concerns about students can make written referrals to deans.
