Rationale

A positive school climate and a safe learning and teaching environment are essential if students are to succeed in school. A positive school climate means everyone feels they are welcome and respected. Good behavior and discipline are key foundations for good education. Without an orderly atmosphere effective teaching and learning cannot take place. We expect and insist on the highest standards of behavior throughout our school.

Courtesy, good manners and consideration for others, together with self-discipline and a proper respect for authority, are encouraged at all times and are important if we are to make our school a true, caring community. We place great emphasis on praising children for politeness and kindness to others. All students, parents, teachers and staff have the right to be safe, and feel safe, in their school community. With this right comes the responsibility for everyone to be accountable for their actions and contribute to a positive school climate. Therefore binding ground rule is “RESPECT FOR EVERYONE”.

NOTE: All parents of our students are expected to read and accept these rules. Parents not accepting the above rules, are requested to inform the management immediately in writing so that appropriate action (which may include expulsion of their child) may be taken. In the absence of any written rejection from parents, it is assumed that these rules are accepted
