AHIS Parents and Students Guide 05022020

10. DISCIPLINE POLICY
10.1. Expected Behaviour
It is very important to us that girls and boys impact and influence our school
community. We have in place many ways in which students can make their ideas
and suggestions heard and actioned within the school:
We aim to embed within each student, a strong shared feeling of responsibility
towards their learning while upholding a concrete concept of respect for oneself
and others around them.
10.2. Rights and Responsibilities
Students will be responsible for making sure that they:
1. Follow a proper code of conduct within the school premises and outside.
2. Do not engage in any unacceptable behavior.
3. Avoid eating in the class without permission.
4. Respect other students and their teachers.
5. Remain seated in the class unless they are advised to leave by an
authorized person.
6. Pray properly during Solat break.
7. Do not fight or promote fighting.
8. Use school facilities properly.
10.3. Respectful Behaviour
We expect students to be well-behaved and respectful to others. We have class
rules which we talk to the children about and use as teaching opportunities when
problems arise.
We use positive behaviour management techniques at Al-Hamra Integrated School
which means we help children learn about their emotions and actions, and we
support them as they learn how to get along with others and grow as a person. We
never shout, embarrass, shame, manhandle or belittle a child. We are
understanding, patient and supportive role models for our students.
We use ‘positive reinforcement’ with all children; aiming to identify and
acknowledge them upon getting something done the right way and doing
something well, rather than just communicating negative messages when poor
choices are made. This works when a solid, safe and trusting relationship has been
established between staff and students.
