Our Code

THIS IS OUR CODE 
This Code has been developed with our profession for our profession. It reflects the expectations of conduct and integrity that we all share; what we expect of each other and what our learners, their families and whānau, their communities and the public can expect of us. 

As teachers, we understand the influence we have on shaping futures, and the contribution we make to society by supporting children and young people to realise their potential and prepare them for their future. We understand that families and whānau and the wider community trust us to guide their children and young people on their learning journey and to keep them safe. By acting with integrity and professionalism in all that we do, we maintain this trust and confidence. Upholding the expectations set out in the Code is the responsibility of each and every one of us. It also connects us as a profession. If one of us breaches the Code, it can affect us all, changing how others see us and how the profession is valued. So we also have a responsibility to each other, to make sure we all understand these expectations and make the right decisions each and every day. We can all be proud to be part of the teaching profession in Aotearoa New Zealand.
