Discipline
Discipline is not only good for children, it is necessary for their happiness and well-being. Discipline is as vital for healthy child development as nutritious food, physical and cognitive exercises, love, and other basic needs. Without discipline, children lack the tools necessary to navigate relationships and challenges in life such as self-discipline, respect for others, and the ability to cooperate with peers.
Discipline and punishment are not synonymous terms. Punishing for wrong doing is an occasional element of discipline, but discipline is the total training of the child. It not only teaches them the “don’ts” of life but, more important than that, it teaches them the “do” side of human responsibility
Child discipline, when done correctly, is not about trying to control your child but about showing her how to control her own behaviour. It is not about punishing a child for doing something wrong but about setting clear parameters and consequences for breaking rules so that she learns how to discipline herself.
The school runs a school wide rewards and correction matrix. Our rules and regulations are outlined in our code of conduct alongside corresponding corrective measures for defaulters.
The rewards & correction matrix is designed to incorporate the features of effective discipline and lead to the all-round character development of our students. Student receive tiaras for positive behaviour and coloured warnings for negative behaviour. Warning culminate in a red tag at which point the student will face the disciplinary committee. Parents will be informed when the committee reaches a decision.
