The School rules are intended to establish a disciplined and Purposeful environment to facilitate effective teaching and learning at the School. Nothing shall exempt a learner from complying with School rules. Ignorance of School rules is, therefore, not an acceptable excuse.

Click the download button to get the full list of our school rules:

Every teacher is responsible for discipline and has the full authority and responsibility to correct the behaviour of learners whenever such correction is necessary. Any corrective measure or disciplinary action will correspond with and be appropriate to the offence. All learners will abide by the discipline system that has been developed to assist and guide learner behaviour in the School.

Click the download button to download our disciplinary system guidelines:

• Promoting the rights and safety of all learners and teachers and parents.
• Ensuring learners responsibility for their own actions and behaviours.
• Prohibiting all forms of unfair discrimination and intolerance.
• Eliminating disruptive and offensive conduct.

The Code of Conduct spells out the rules regarding learner behaviour at the School and describes the disciplinary system to be implemented by the School concerning transgressions by learners. The Code of Conduct applies to all learners while they are on the School premises or when they are away from the School representing it or attending a school function. Section 8(4) of the SA Schools Act provides that all learners attending a School are bound by the Code of Conduct of that School. All learners attending the School are expected to sign a statement of commitment to the Code of Conduct.
The administration of the Code of Conduct is the responsibility of the Disciplinary
Committee of the School.
