- Students:
- When in attendance at a carnival or interschool sporting competition, all students, whether competing or as spectators should behave in a way that represents Jesus Christ in all their actions.
- This includes:
- competing according to the rules.
- refraining from the use of bad language.
- refraining from arguing with, or insolence towards, a teacher or event official and, therefore, abiding by all decisions made. It is permissible for a student to seek clarification on a ruling, if appropriate, in a respectful manner.
- wearing the correct school/zone uniform when competing.
- displaying good sporting attitudes towards their own team members and the opposition.
- shake hands with opposing teams at the end of a match.
- Teachers:
- show the correct role model - that is, Christ-like in behaviour in all their actions.
- provide suitable supervision for their students.
- regulate and correct the behaviour of both team members and spectators. Behaviour not acceptable at school should not be permitted when students are representing the school.
- advise the teachers of other schools and, if appropriate, advise students from other schools, if their behaviour is not up to the standards set.
- Parents and Spectators:
- should be advised of all regulations regarding their behaviour by their child's teacher.
- must not question the decision of any official. All queries must be channelled through the teacher in charge of students.
- must not verbally abuse any competitors or officials.
- when barracking, should remain in the spectator area and not encroach into a playing area deemed to be out of bounds to spectators.
- barracking should be positive and enthusiastic and never directed negatively at the opposition.
- must understand that the referee/carnival organiser has the authority to challenge a spectator who does not comply with the above statements.
- Officials:
- must be fully acquainted with the responsibilities of the job and its managements' procedures.
- must conduct the event in a positive and encouraging manner.
- will abide by the referee's decisions.
- should seek to inform a competitor of the reason for any disqualification, where appropriate.
