A Children’s National Guild of Courtesy

The ‘Good Manners’ chart was first issued to Queensland, Australia schools in 1898 by the Department of Public Instruction as part of the systematic teaching of conduct and manners.

This *2nd Debut Article from 2014 is Worthy of a Review!

*What is a 2nd Debut article? A second debut article is one which Etiquipedia feels is worth a second read. 

With over 4000 articles on this site, people often forget how much Etiquette is actually here and available to them. I am frequently asked if I have anything that covers this etiquette subject, or that etiquette subject… Most times the articles are right here, hiding in plain sight. 

Just this morning, I received a message via Instagram suggesting I post this list above, of Victorian courtesy rules for children. It has been on the site since 2014. Here, I am posting it again, for those many readers worldwide, who never saw it back in 2014.

If you do have a subject which you have been looking for here or a question regarding etiquette, you can always put a phrase or word in the search bar on the top left-hand corner of the site. A quick search may reveal several articles for you to choose from on your subject of inquiry. Then again, you can also message me via Instagram.
