Home School Agreement

At CHS South, we are committed to ensuring that every young person is empowered to become creative, happy and successful.

We are proud to be a diverse and inclusive community where every individual feels a strong sense of belonging. Our shared culture is built around being ready, respectful and safe, alongside developing our Qualities of Success: creativity, curiosity, resilience, optimism, empathy, responsibility, practice, motivation and reflection.

This agreement reflects our shared commitment - students, families and staff - to work in partnership, building positive relationships through clear, respectful communication and a shared sense of responsibility.
