 During the course of the 2002 year, students, teachers and administrators contributed to the creation of a school Code of Conduct. The Code is not a set of rules, but rather a description of the qualities and actions all members of the school community (parents included!) must strive toward in order that the same school community, and its members, may thrive both academically and socially. In the end, this Code must not become something one reads and then discards, but rather a compass one continually refers to for direction, both in and out of school.

We at West Island College are responsible for who we are.
Everyone has a part in keeping our environment clean and safe.
Shaping our surroundings through care and involvement,
Together we are working to make our school a welcome place.
Inside and outside the classroom, we all want the same thing:
Students and staff treating each other with respect.
Listening when others are speaking is common courtesy.
Appreciation of diversity enriches our lives.
Niceties and encouragement, rather than criticism, are welcomed by all.
Developing friendships is one of the most memorable parts of school life.
Committed to doing the best that I can,
Open-minded with regard to others` ideas and opinions,
Levelheaded when frustrated or upset,
Learning to treat others as I would like them to treat me,
Eager for new ideas, for new challenges,
Grateful for the special things that people do for me:
EXCELLENCE - this is what I want; this is what I strive to attain.
