Discipline Procedures

There is an obligation for the Principal and staff to implement the Student Code of Conduct policy fairly and consistently with support from parents and students. Strategies for dealing with student behaviour that is not consistent with classroom or playground norms will include: 

• Teachers to make initial judgments about the time and manner of intervention when student behaviour is inappropriate
• Students are encouraged to solve problems themselves and if appropriate be directed to other students to assist in strategies to resolve the problems
• Discussion and / or negotiation of logical consequences with the students
• Thinking time to reflect on their behaviour in their own classroom or another agreed setting

Serious misconduct will be directed to the area coordinators. Serious misconduct, especially where such actions are dangerous, repeated or prevent others from learning, may lead to suspension/expulsion in line with Department of Education guidelines.
