SCHOOL POLICY
Discipline
Students are informed about the potential consequences of their actions, aiding them in decision-making. Fairness is crucial in disciplined decisions, promoting problem-solving and leadership qualities. Consistently applying discipline and regulations builds trust and fosters a positive attitude.
Setting Goals and Establishing Productivity
To foster higher learning, institutions establish goals set by the school board. The school commits to address these objectives throughout the educational process. These goals help schools align with community expectations and hold educators accountable, ensuring students receive a valuable education linked to the broader world.
Violence / Intolerance to violence
“Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent.”
Conflicts naturally arise in communities, fostering dialogue and diverse perspectives. While not all students may get along, physical altercation should be avoided. A strict policy against violence reinforces consequences that deter fights and promote a safe environment.
BULLYING POLICY
An effective bullying policy is more crucial now than ever before. Bullying affects students globally, with incidents on the rise annually. Tragic outcomes such as school dropout or self-harm underscore the urgency of proactive prevention. The school upholds a strong bullying prevention program, respecting individual rights and promoting social harmony through strict measures.
NO CELL PHONE POLICY
The school strictly prohibits the use of cell phones during educational activities. While valuable as tools, cell phones can lead to unintended consequences and distractions that may hinder future learning opportunities. Monitoring their use among students and staff is essential to ensure an uninterrupted focus on academic preparation.
SAFE LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS
Students, teachers, and staff deserve to feel both physically and psychologically secure in their learning environment. To achieve this, we uphold stringent safety standards including CCTV surveillance, disaster management protocols, and physical environment safety measures. Additionally, mental health considerations for students and staff are prioritized through policies such as fire drills, anti-bullying measures, and mental health workshops.
