Discipline keeps in sight
the sacredness of the human personality and is aware of the importance of the
child as a person, as a being of integrity and infinite worth.
The purposes of discipline are to assist the growth of Christ-like
motives for self-discipline, to promote Christian responsibility, to increase
respect for duly constituted authority, and to provide a classroom situation
that will maximize learning.
Discipline is essentially a positive experience and should be understood as part
of discipleship reflecting the goal of eventual self-discipline as a personal
response to the call of Jesus.
To ensure that every child is provided a positive learning environment,
we will implement the following disciplinary principles:
Through their cooperation,
attentiveness and behavior in class students will:
n
Allow teachers to
teach
n
Respect their own
and others’ right to learn
n
Behave in ways
that support the best interests of the class and school
Student positive behavior
will be recognized and reinforced.
This is accomplished through (examples):
n
Gaining special
additional privileges and awards
n
Special
recognition assemblies
n
Published
recognition in both the classroom and the wider community
