Integrity | Queensland College of Teachers | Queensland Government

Teachers in Queensland are expected to uphold a high standard of behaviour.

Teachers hold a unique position of trust and authority in the community; as such, their expected standard of behaviour is very high.

Teachers are expected to uphold the values that underpin the teaching profession in both school settings and their personal lives.

The Professional Boundaries Guideline [PDF 167KB] and the Code of Ethics outline the professional conduct and behaviour required of approved Queensland teachers.
