Dear Colleagues,

I will like to thank teachers who have been dutifully reporting offences through the Discipline Record System for the past few weeks.

Many discipline reports have come in on classroom disruptions, open defiance to staff and pupils who are not doing homework.

Putting offences on record is important for us as a school, in order to improve our discipline climate in SSS. These recorded offences will let us achieve the following:

1. We will know the challenges on the ground teachers face on a day to day basis;

2. Support teachers when there are incessant classroom disruptions and open defiance so that we can take these offenders to task and learning can continue in the classrooms;

3. To signal to these troubling pupils that their actions are not condoned and there are levels of consequences they will face; and

4. To teach these pupils how to self-regulate and provide the necessary school support when needed.

So do continue with the discipline reporting and as a school we will better understand how our boys are and provide that targetted support for them.

Beyond just detention for offences committed and being called down to see SLs, the school does suspend and cane. "Warning Letters" to offenders are also issued as another form of a deterrent measure. These warning letters are issued by DM and signed by both DM and Principal.

To share, a sample of the warning letter is enclosed. The contents will have to be acknowledged by the parents and returned to DM and the letter clearly spells out what happens when the offender is recalcitrant.

Do have a read and feel free to share with me or the Discipline Team your views on it.

Cheers & Happy Hols...

Yasmin
