CLASS CONDUCT

Earth Circle is a supportive, inclusive environment - all students and teachers have the right to a safe space to practice & work in, and abuse of that safe space will not be tolerated. We have some ground rules to ensure everyone gets the most enjoyment out of their classes.

Any students in breach of these guidelines will no longer be welcome in class.

Students must treat other students with respect and courtesy - being mindful of those who want silence and quiet, keeping disruption to a minimum, arriving in a timely manner and speaking to other students how they wish to be spoken to themselves. This includes cancelling bookings so others can take your place.
Students must treat teachers with respect and courtesy - being respectful of the teacher's knowledge and expertise, refusing adjustments if they are not wanted, arriving in a timely manner and keeping disruption to a minimum, speaking to teachers how they wish to be spoken to themselves .
Teachers will always treat students in a professional, respectful manner with courtesy - starting & finishing classes on time, respecting student wishes regarding adjustments, facilitating class and safe space, ensuring class rules are followed and dealing with students in a professional, polite and friendly manner.
