Rules and regulations for all students

In order to function efficiently, every School needs certain rules and guidelines which are there to protect both the individual and the School.
 
A school functions more  easily and more  effectively  with clear standards of behaviour and manners. Because misbehaviour can range from minor breaches of the school rules to more  serious offences, it is important that pupils are aware of the consequences of unacceptable behaviour both in and out of school. They should know in advance the school's policy for deterring and correcting such behaviour. The guidelines which follow provide part of the framework for developing the self-discipline and individual responsibility which are essential in any community.
