School Disciplinary Action Rules and Regulations
To maintain discipline, promote positive behaviour, and provide a fair process for addressing student misconduct in alignment with school values and educational goals.
Step 1: Verbal Counselling and Warning
- Purpose: To correct behaviour early with a personal approach.
- Action:
- A staff member or administrator addresses the student’s behaviour in a private conversation.
- The student is reminded of the school’s code of conduct and expected behaviour.
- A verbal warning is issued and documented in the student’s behavioural record.
- Goal: Awareness and self-correction without formal punishment.
Step 2: Written Warning and Detention
- Purpose: To escalate the consequence while giving the student an opportunity to reflect.
- Action:
- A formal written warning is issued and signed by the student and parent/guardian.
- Detention is assigned (before school, after school, or during lunch) for a specific duration.
- The student may be asked to complete a reflection form or attend a behavioural session.
Step 3: In-School Suspension (ISS) or Out-of-School Suspension (OSS)
- Purpose: To impose serious consequences for repeated or severe misconduct.
- Action:
- ISS: The student remains on campus in a supervised environment but is separated from regular classes.
- OSS: The student is temporarily removed from school (1–5 days), depending on the offense.
- Parents are formally notified, and a reintegration meeting may be required.
- Goal: Emphasize the seriousness of the behaviour and provide space for behavioural change.
Step 4: Final Warning and Behaviour Contract
- Purpose: To make the consequences of continued misconduct explicitly clear.
- Action:
- A Final Warning Letter is issued.
- The student and parent/guardian sign a Behaviour Contract outlining expectations and consequences.
- Failure to meet contract terms may result in termination.
- Goal: Offer one last opportunity to improve behaviour with full clarity on the stakes.
