The Student Code of Conduct replaces the:
- Responsible Behaviour Plan for Students
- Statement of Expectations, and
- Code of School Behaviour.
Queensland state schools have the full 2020 school year to develop and consult with their community on the new Student Code of Conduct. Until a school finalises their Student Code of Conduct, the existing Responsible Behaviour Plan for Students continues to apply.

This document will be available on each school's website and provided to newly enrolled students and their parents.
