Policy on Disruptive Social Behaviours, Aitchison College
34
To illustrate the difference
Time-out A student is given time-out for being late to
class after considering several verbal warnings; a brief,
immediate removal to reflect.
Detention A student is given a scheduled,
supervised period for reflection, accountability, and
completing missed work.
Suspension, Expulsion & Withdrawals
The terms suspensions and expulsions are disciplinary measures used to address student behaviour that violates
school policies or poses a threat to the safety and well-being of others.
Both suspension and expulsion are serious consequences that can have a significant impact on a student's
academic and personal life. At Aitchison College, there are clear policies and procedures in place for imposing
these measures, and students have the right to appeal or seek support.
Suspension
Expulsion
Withdrawals
1. Temporary removal of a
student from school for a
specified period, usually ranging
from one day to several weeks.
1. Permanent removal of a student
from school, usually due to severe
or repeated infractions.
1. Voluntary removal from school
by parents or guardians.
2. During this time, the student is
not allowed to attend classes or
participate in school activities.
2. Can result in the student being
banned from attending the school
for a specified period or
permanently.

severe measure than expulsion.
To illustrate the difference
Suspension: A student is
suspended for a short period for a
serious misbehaviour.
Expulsion: A student is expelled
for a severe misbehaviour.
Withdrawal: A student is
withdrawn by parents instead of
being expelled for a severe
misbehaviour.
