School Policies and Code of Conduct

CODE FOR SELF-DISCIPLINE

“Excellence is not a singular act but a habit. You are what you do repeatedly.”

In order to ensure that students attain their goals, there is a common code, which is clearly understood and practiced by all members of the community. The ideal state of discipline is self-regulation. When we do the right things without being watched, we are considered to be disciplined. Rules and codes are meant to provide a frame of reference for socially acceptable behaviour. Clarity of expectations promotes harmonious living wherein we can lead responsible fulfilled lives and become contributing members of society.
