Introduction

Code of Conduct 

The code of conduct describes the expected behaviours of our Staff, Instructors, Volunteers, and Students. We have a full commitment to adherence to the law, and we will call out unacceptable behaviour. 

Drawing inspiration from the Australian Karate Federation, Japan Karate Association Karate-Do Australia, and the Australian Sports Commission’s Code of Conduct of working with children. 

Showing integrity and fairness, not showing bias based on sex, age, ability, culture, race, sexuality, class, religious and spiritual beliefs. This is shown through our conduct of using natural, non-bias words and allowing children to have space and asking before engaging with them.  

Objectivity and equity. No one receives an unfair advantage, but also making sure that those who are disadvantaged receive the right attention to help them continuously. 

Develop. We display this by making sure there are enough instructors and assistants in classes so that student, who need it, can have more attention. 

We prefer to display sportsmanlike, community courteous behaviour. Showing respect to each other and ourselves. Distancing ourselves from disreputable persons and behaviours, while supporting those who are trying to better themselves. 

Ensure that to the best of our ability that environments are safe, and wellness orientated. Focusing of positive mental environments and hazard free spaces. For children, this means a safe space for them to grow. We do not allow negativity towards other students and encourage our students to speak positively about themselves and others.  

Physical contact with a person should be appropriate to the situation and the skill and ability of the person involved, and necessary to their educational development. Unnecessary interaction is discouraged between students and between Instructors.
