Discipline is intended to guide all students towards self-control and personal responsibility. Appropriate conduct is expected of all pupils both in the classroom and on the school premises generally.
Pupils will be expected to:
• attend school regularly and on time
• participate positively in lessons
• have respect for themselves, their friends, teachers, their work and their school
• behave responsibly and politely at all times
• take care of their own property and respect that of others
• not chew gum as this is not allowed in school
• not leave the school premises without prior consent from the teacher/head teacher during school hours
• attend all the school festivities/yiortes.
We expect parental support to ensure that the pupils maintain a high standard of good manners, consideration for others, neat appearance, punctuality and regular attendance. Bad behaviour in the school will not be tolerated. A series of sanctions will ultimately lead to the permanent exclusion of the child, as follows:
• initial reprimand
• contacting and informing the parents
• suspension from the school
• permanent exclusion
A decision for suspension or permanent exclusion can only be taken by a joint decision of the school committee and the head teacher and only after the parents have been given the opportunity to comment on the matter. The parents will have the right of appeal to the officers of the GPA.
