Discipline Policy (Students) 2024-2025

Philosophy Of the School

The primary focus at Upriser :The School (UTS) is on the holistic development of every student. We seek to build within each student a love of learning, a sense of responsibility, self discipline, a positive self-image, and respect for others. Students are expected to make positive behaviour choices that promote their safety, the safety of others, and a productive learning environment. School discipline is a collaborative effort by the parents, guardians, students, and staff.

The focus of the Discipline Policy is to promote positive behaviour choices by recognizing students who engage in consistent positive behaviour. However, mistakes are a natural part of growth. We help students reflect on errors in judgment and behaviour and support them in learning how to make better decisions. We teach and model positive behaviour including listening, cooperation, and mutual respect. We encourage students to make independent decisions and act responsibly towards others and with property. When this occurs, we believe that a very positive and productive teaching-learning environment will result, enabling students to strive for excellence

DISCIPLINARY ACTIONS

While most students consistently observe these standards and behave safely and appropriately, there are times when misbehaviour warrants intervention and consequences. Teachers and other staff use a variety of classroom and behaviour management strategies to address such behaviour. When these strategies are not successful in changing that behaviour and/or serious incidents occur, it is necessary for additional action to be taken.

The following pages outline those disciplinary actions. Please Note: Careful consideration is given to individual situations, so that the school’s response to the student is appropriate. Consequences may be increased in cases of repeat offenses. Suspensions will be considered when behaviour is disruptive and detrimental to the operation of the school.
