Disciplinary System

A green card will result in an hour of detention on Friday afternoon per green card.   A green card may be issued without a yellow card having first been issued depending on the offence.

The Principal may convert a green card to writing out, or even may convert it to a red card, depending on the seriousness of the offence. 

A green card may not be cancelled without full investigation into extenuating circumstances and in agreement with the person who issued the card.

THREE Green cards =

ONE Red card

Detention will not apply if a learner receives a red card for accumulated green cards, but parents/guardians will be informed.

Should a learner be issued directly with a red card for a serious offence, a three hour detention will apply.

A red card is issued for extremely serious offences. Any learner receiving a red card MUST be sent to the Principal’s office. The Principal may suspend a learner from class whilst consulting with witnesses and will notify that learner’s parents or guardians that a red card has been issued.

Should a learner receive 2 (two) red cards in one term, the Principal will meet with the learner’s parents or guardians to discuss corrective measures and issue a serious warning for disregard of school rules.

If a learner receives a third red card (3) in the term, the Principal will meet with the learner before suspending the learner from classes. Parents and guardians will be informed.

A meeting will then be called with the Disciplinary Committee, followed by a meeting with the parents / guardians and the learner.

Receiving three red cards in one term constitutes a breach of contract and the school will take serious action to protect the school and other learners from serious misconduct and disregard for the rules.

Parents and learners must familiarise themselves with the school rules and list of offences that will result in a red card being issued.

A blue card is issued for incomplete homework.   Learners must always attempt to do their homework, even if it is not all correct. Learners may not use the excuse that they didn’t understand the work and therefore they did not do anything.

Blue cards will accumulate. Should learners continue to receive blue cards, this will indicate that they are not applying themselves, are not trying to complete work given and this will ultimately show their lack of organisational skills and interest in doing their work. Support is available but if learners do not ask for help and guidance, this will show in their carding record.

High School

In the High School, three (3) blue cards will convert to a turquoise Card that will result in a one-hour detention and a letter explaining why work was incomplete must be submitted by the learner.

Tasks and projects not handed in on their due date will result in a turquoise card (detention) being issued immediately, and will not be classified as incomplete homework.

THREE Blue cards =

ONE turquoise card (One hour detention)

Primary School

In the Primary School, six (6) blue cards will convert to a Turquoise Card that will result in a one-hour detention and a letter explaining why work was incomplete must be submitted by the learner.

Tasks and projects not handed in on their due date will result in a Turquoise card (detention) being issued immediately, and will not be classified as incomplete homework.

SIX Blue cards =

ONE turquoise card (One hour detention)

In both the Primary and High School, should a learner receive three (3) turquoise Cards, this will result in a navy card being issued and a meeting with the learner’s parents or guardians. No detention will apply but corrective measures will be mandatory for the benefit of the learner.

THREE Turquoise cards =

ONE Navy card

If a learner accumulates three (3) navy cards in one term, it indicates that there is little or no effort on the part of the learner to do their homework and engage with the requirements. The school will meet with the parents / guardian again and recommend alternative options for the learner.
