Thisconsequence can be deferred for one Friday only,otherwise there will be an escalation of discipline.Students committing more serious misdemeanoursmay be required to attend a Saturday detention,either from 9.00am to 12.00pm or 1.00pm to 4.00pm.Parents will be informed. Non-completion ofSaturday detention will result in a six hour detentionon the first Monday in the next available Collegeholidays. Saturday detentions take precedence overany College activity other than academic studies.Being formally withdrawn from class is treatedseriously.

Parents or guardians will be informed.It is important to note that staff will attempt toemploy the spirit, rather than the letter of thelaw, when it comes to enforcing Senior Collegeregulations. However, students must understandthat if they choose to behave in a manner that fallswell short of the usual high standards of the SeniorCollege, they and their parents can expect theCollege to take appropriate action.11
