RULE OF DISCIPLINE

The school discipline system is based on the premise that there are consequences of action. It endeavours to be consistent and fair and is underpinned by the principles of natural justice. For the school community to operate as a safe learning in environment where all strive for personal excellence, it is important that clear boundaries are established. While rewards are for motivating the students to sustain good actions and consistently strive for better behaviour and efforts, reprimands are in order to check during the same.
