Discipline Policy
Discipline is a vital part of our school's welfare policy. It is the endeavour of the school community, through a system of relationships, rules, rewards and sanctions designed to encourage and develop self-discipline within the children.
This statement reflects the culture, the belief and the spirituality of the school. The emphasis is very much on encouraging the Positive, constructive, supportive attitudes rather than highlighting the negative and destructive. When the overall climate is friendly, but firm when necessary, when expectations are clear and routines are established and when the learning tasks are interesting and within the capabilities of the children, disruptive behaviour is far less likely to occur. When it does, our experienced teachers use a variety of strategies and skills to curb such behaviour.
