POSITIVE
DISCIPLINE PROGRAMME
·
Each
boy will receive ONE stamp in the morning and ONE stamp in the
afternoon for good behaviour.
·
At
the end of the week, rewards are given based on the number of stamps
received. (max. 10)
·
A
list of Rules is displayed in each classroom and stamps are
forfeited for breaches of these rules.
·
When
a rule is broken the teacher will identify how the pupil has
contravened the rule, explaining in writing why exactly the stamp has
been taken.
·
A red
card is placed on the pupils desk as a reminder whenever a stamp is
lost.
·
There
are no grey areas or different areas of tolerance.
A boy should be able to say what rule he has broken.
·
Stamps
are awarded when a boy is absent, provided he has a written note to
explain his absence.
·
Only
one stamp may be deducted for any offence.
·
Any
teacher may deduct stamps from a pupil in the school at any time.
REWARDS
Short
Term (Weekly)
The
teacher chooses the rewards which he/she feels will be most
effective in his/her classroom.
Certificates
·
The Positive
Discipline Programme has three separate terms –
Christmas/Easter/Summer.
·
Certificates
will be awarded at the close of each of the three terms.
·
Certificates
will be given to pupils who have not lost any stamps whatsoever, a
100% stamp total.
·
Pupils who
average 90% weekly over a school term, also qualify for certificates.
·
A special
certificate may also be awarded to the most improved
pupil in a class, at the end of each term.
Long Term Rewards
·
At
the end of the school year, sometime in the final term, a special
treat or
unique occasion will be organised as a whole-school event.
The pupils
who have gained a yearly stamp average of 90% or above, will qualify
for this special reward.
·
Events
such as field trips, trips to places of educational
importance and the annual
school tour, will be for pupils who
have reached a target or average of 85% over a defined and
designated period of time. For
example, this could be over one
school term, a specific time period of three or four or five weeks.
SANCTIONS
·
A
pupil who does not reach a target of five stamps on a particular week
will have his name recorded on computer file, along with
details of his misconduct. Parents
will be informed in writing if
this occurs.
·
If
this low scoring continues, the boy, along with a parent or guardian,
will be requested (in writing) to meet with the class teacher and the
Principal.
·
At
this Disciplinary Hearing both sides of the events and
misbehaviours will be heard and discussed.
·
Suggestions
will be made, assistance will be given and future
behaviour in school and in
the playground will be agreed.
