CODE OF CONDUCT

DISCIPLINE

Discipline is an essential element of Christian nurture. As Christian teachers, we see discipline as assisting the student to live and work responsibly with each other in a way that reflects the Biblical command of love and promotes the development of mutual trust and respect. Parents are expected to work along with and support the teachers in those occasions where disciplining of their child is required. Students  who use fists to solve problems will be expected to be picked up immediately, and will spend the rest of that day and the next school day at home. Teachers will not listen to any reasons or excuses for the fighting. Work will not be prepared and sent home; the intent is to simply remove the aggressive behaviour from the school.  Our students must find and practise other means of resolving conflict. This is a Christian school and we must hold our students to a high level of conduct. All of the students in TCS must feel safe at all times.
