Guidelines for Acceptence
Melville High School welcomes students from overseas and encourages them to become totally involved in the life of the school. Our school believes in firm discipline and in providing a caring, supportive environment in which students can achieve their potential.
We expect our international students to commit themselves to these behaviour guidelines by signing the behaviour contract. Please print the contract, sign it and send it to the school.
