Parents are asked to keep closely in touch with the school regarding all aspects of their children’s progress. It is important that parents check and sign the journal at the end of each week.

1. A good learning environment for students.
2. The fostering of self-esteem, self-discipline and responsibility in students.
3. Respect for the school environment.

In order to foster a positive school climate, the active support of parents/guardians is a fundamental requirement. All pupils, irrespective of their abilities, must be given an opportunity to learn. To ensure that this is not disturbed, there must be rules and regulations. Any behaviour, which interferes with students’ learning, is unacceptable. Rules and regulations are not intended to be irritating or unreasonable; they are intended to facilitate acceptable standards in the attitude, conduct, application and appearance of students.

School Rules

School rules are drawn up in accordance with the aims of the code of discipline to facilitate the day to day operation of the school. At the start of each school year, all pupils receive a copy of the rules in the school journal to be signed by parents.

1. Punctuality: Students are expected to be on the school premises in time for class in the morning and in the afternoon. Late arrival for roll call or for the commencement of all classes throughout the day, without reasonable explanation, will be noted. Persistent lateness will result in punishment and will be recorded.
2. Attendance: All absences must be explained in writing by parents, either in the appropriate section of the journal or by note indicating the dates of absences. When a student needs to leave for medical attention an appointment card or explanatory note in the school journal should be presented in advance.
3. School Journal: Students must carry, and use at all times, the official school journal, which monitors their work and behaviour. All homework must be recorded in the journal. Parents are expected to inspect and sign the journal each Friday.

    

4. Movement: Good order on the corridors must be observed. Students are expected to keep to the left at all times on the corridors. They must walk and not run. Students are required to queue quietly outside the classroom door until their teacher allows them enter. Each student must use the desk assigned to him/her in each room. Students are expected to leave their classroom in an orderly fashion when directed to by their teacher. Rough or boisterous play – "messing" – is strictly forbidden, particularly in malls, toilets, assembly room and corridors.
5. Respect for Others: Offensive language is forbidden. No student is allowed to interfere with school property or the property of others. Harassment of any member of the school community will not be tolerated.
6. Uniform & Appearance: All students must wear school uniform during school hours and on all occasions organised by the school (school trips, where appropriate). Jewellery must be minimal and tasteful. A maximum of one ring on each hand is permitted. Facial jewellery is strictly forbidden. No studs or rings, other than a maximum of one pair of earrings, are permitted.
