Code of Ethics

HONESTY

We work side by side, honest and true. We do not use power, emotions or words to manipulate or threaten each other. We communicate in honesty; we do not lie to each other.

ORDER

Children, parents and teachers who disrupt the order, teaching or other school activities will be separated from group until their behaviour does not disrupt the status quo. Nobody has the right to threaten another person’s right to safety, education, extramural activities, and joy.

SELF-CONTROL

We take responsibility for our own emotions and behaviour. We do not take our frustrations out on each other. We talk to each other calmly and peacefully.

RESPECT

Parents, educators, and children who is disrespectful towards others, will have to leave the classroom, office or grounds until they are willing to make restitution. Should the behaviour be repeated, the person will be asked to leave the school grounds, permanently.

RESPONSIBILITY

We work hard to complete our own work, respect each other’s time by being on time, spend money with accountability, appreciate our privileges and look after all property, no matter who it belongs to.

AUTHORITY

Disobedience and wilful disregard for / or dangerous behaviour will not be tolerated. Disciplinary hearings will be held as set out in the disciplinary procedure.

GRACE

We are patient with people who are different from us and those who battle with their work or who transgress by accident. We show mercy when the transgressor shows a beautiful attitude, acknowledgement of transgression and true respect for authority.

CHILD IN CRISIS

Children whose behaviour does not improve with consistent discipline and whose bad behavriou indicates psychological, intellectual, neurological or other problems will have to receive professional help as a prerequisite of staying in school. The entire school community is responsible to support these children as best possible.

Class Rules

Neighbourly Love (love towards other learners)

Here we like to refer all learners to 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

4 Love is never tired of waiting; love is kind; love has no envy; love has no high opinion of itself; love has no pride. 5 Love’s ways are ever fair, it takes no thought for itself; it is not quickly made angry, it takes no account of evil. 6 It takes no pleasure in wrongdoing, but has joy in what is true. 7 Love has the power of undergoing all things, having faith in all things, hoping all things.”
