2 – 2ND Verbal reminder
3 –Calm Down Time: The child is removed from the activity to sit and consider his/her behavior choices.
4 – Behavior form: The teacher records the incident in the Class Behavior Log and a behavior form is sent home.

A copy is kept in the child’s academic file.

The child may miss part of the next break with an adult (to sit & consider

how they could have done thingsdifferently).

5 – Persistent incidents

A parent-meeting will be arranged to discuss the strategies being used in

school and to involve the parents inthe process.

6- Suspension: Immediate suspension may occur if, in the opinion of the School Principal or Directors, an incident merits this consequence.

All details will be logged in the child’s academic file.

 

Playground Regulations:

Regulations:

  • Hard balls are not permitted, as they are Soft balls are allowed.
  • No football on the plaza before
  • Early Childhood students are not allowed to go to the senior school without being accompaniedby a member of

Good Behavior:

 

  • Students, who demonstrate good behavior and are courteous and polite around the school, will be recognized and encouraged by teachers and other members of staff who witness their behavior. They may be awarded good behavior

Consequences:

  • Breaking any of the rules will result in the child being asked to sit out along the playground sidelines for five minutes. When five minutes have passed they must wait for the teacher who placed them there to give them permission to
  • A second misbehavior will result in the child being sent to the duty leader who may inform theirclass teacher or the relevant Head depending on the incident.

 

Inappropriate Behavior includes:

Rough games / play fighting

 

Name-calling

Hitting, kicking and punching Swearing

Spoiling somebody else’s game Rudeness to staff

Bullying Verbal abuse

 

Parental Advice:

When disciplining children, it is important to stress that it is the behavior we do not approve of, not the child. Positive reinforcement when a child is displaying good behavior will always workbetter and faster than negative reinforcement. If parents could also reinforce this practice at home it would be greatly appreciated.

Always try to ensure that there is a ‘united front’ between home and school and between all caregivers (parents / guardians) at home so the child is not confused by different approaches.Be firm, fair, and consistent.

Should a note be placed in your child’s record book regarding an incident of poor behavior – rather than ‘just telling them off’ – please discuss the incident with your child to see if they now recognize the mistake they have made and how they could do better in future / avoid getting into the same situation. This will help us to see if they have processed and understood what the member of staff has discussed with them, which may need reinforcement at home.

Please note that the home-school link works both ways. Please do inform us if you are aware of an incident that you do think has not been reported to us by the

 

child. Also, whilst we very muchappreciate your support with behavior at school we are also here to help should you need any advice on strategies regarding behavior out of school.

Therefore, we need your support in ensuring that your child understands the expected code ofconduct in our school and help him / her in following the school’s golden rules and regulations.

 

Thank you for your support,
