College Charter
The College Charter is a transparent agreement between us as a College and its learners. This agreement can be seen in the College Code of Conduct.
It aims to clearly communicate what you can expect from us and what we expect from you as learners at Brock.
This helps us to ensure that all of our learners needs are being met and that everyone is treated fairly and equally.
As a College we will...
- Value everyone equally without exception.
