General Consequences:
The College works from the principle that no boy deliberately sets
out to break school rules. Thus, in most cases, a gentle reminder or
warning is both sufficient and educational. When a boy fails to heed
instructions or repeatedly breaks rules, a pink card, Saturday
detention, suspension or even expulsion or withdrawal may result,
depending on the nature and severity of the misbehavior or
transgression and its frequency. Consequences will usually take into
account the record of a student’s past behavior and/or any mitigating
circumstances.
General Consequences are, therefore, graded and designed to teach
first and encourage the right behaviour before applying more serious
sanctions and consequences. Offences are divided into: Minor,
Moderate, Serious and Very Serious. Minor offences will result in
a warning or reminder; moderate offences will result in a Saturday
detention, serious offences will result in suspension, and very
serious offences will result in expulsion from the College. The
College reserves the right to modify its rules from time to time. The
Principal’s decision is final.
Minor ‘first’ offences for which a caution or reminder would usually
apply:
•
Lateness to school, class, sport or an activity
•
Missing College diary, school text or failure to enter
homework instructions
•
1st failure to do homework without adequate excuse
(submission of work required)
•
1st uniform offence or appearance infraction ‘scruffy’ look:
shirt out, need for haircut, inappropriate shoes, loose tie,
missing uniform etc.
