 Human relations

It is school policy that students, teachers and staff relate with one another so that dignity and self-esteem are mutually enchased. Name-calling should be avoided as should pejorative references to home, physique, disability, etc. Students should address one another by first names and be appropriately inclusive of others and be aware that strong friendships based on primary school, locality or otherwise can often form impediments to others in the making of new friends.

The school does not tolerate bullying and teachers will take a pro-active approach towards its prevention and elimination. Students will be aware that bullying can be psychological and non-verbal as well as physical. A student should evaluate unpleasant behaviour of any student(s) and take steps to prevent reoccurrence.

 These steps will include reporting to: -

  • Parent/guardian
  • Class captain
  • School prefect
  • Tutor/Dean
  •  Deputy Principal/Principal

The school authorities strongly disapprove of any action, behaviour or attitude assumed in a provocatively consistent way by any student for the purposes of intimidating others. Appropriate sanctions will be available. These include counselling, removal from class and possible suspension/expulsion.
