My behaviour is offending students and teachers. It is stopping other students from learning. I will be issued with a hot pink booklet.

At Arthur Phillip High, we would like our students to become responsible for their behaviour and learning. Most students will learn this easily and naturally but sometimes during adolescence, they will need some extra support because things can sometimes go wrong. The Stages system is designed to help them if they need to get back on track so that they can become responsible young adults and successful learners.
