Consequences

We look for opportunities to recognize and celebrate students who are following our code of conduct, and showing leadership through their respectful behaviour.

Consequences are intended to guide children to make better choices for their behaviour and to understand how their actions affect other members of our learning community. Consequences are most effective when they are applied consistently and when they are directly related to the behaviour of the student. Consequences are applied based on our knowledge of each individual child’s strengths and abilities. Consequences always respect the dignity of each child.

When children are not able to follow our code of conduct any or all of the following consequences may be applied at the discretion of school staff and in consideration of the severity of the incident.

• Completing a problem solving sheet either in the classroom or in the office
• Phone call home
• Removal from the situation
• Loss of privileges (eg. not able to play on the playground)
• Community service – helping to clean the school or volunteering to help a teacher
• Suspension from the classroom to the office
• Incidences of violence and/or causing disruption to the learning environment may result in a suspension from school to home.
• In extreme cases, a child may be suspended from the school to the Area Office
