School Rules and the 3 R’s of The Regent Secondary School
The best form of discipline is self-discipline. The underlying principle of our school rules is to ensure that all students are safe and happy within the school environment. We do not have a long list of ‘You must not…’.
Our school code is summarised in the 3 R’s, which reflect our values. Students are regularly reminded of it by their teachers in class and in assemblies. The 3 R’s code is as follows:
Respect, Responsibility and Resourcefulness!
