Discipline is what you do for a child, not what you do to a child. From time to time children need direction and discipline. By nature every child rebels against parental and school controls that suppress his passions, self-will and foolishness. Unchecked by direction and discipline, these desires lead to a life of pleasurable behaviour, but not productive achievement.

Our purpose in discipline is to bring the children up in the instruction of the Lord so that when they are old they will not depart from it (Ephesians 6:4, Proverbs 22:6).

We are also seeking that children become self-disciplined within a framework of love and security. This will enable pupils to foster a care for each other and have value, self-respect, integrity and a heart for God’s word.

Merit and Demerit System

Rewarding achievement is a sound principle and encourages children to press on for greater achievement. Privileges are awarded according to a scale of industry, good behaviour, attainment and integrity.

This disciplinary policy is effective through, the system of reasoning, praise and demerit. The Demerit system leads to apprehension from playtime, task assigned time frame, scriptural lines and prayer, helping the staff to control and train each child.

Parents are notified that there is a suspension and ultimately an expulsion policy in place.
