Discipline in every Catholic School is to be considered as an aspect of moral guidance and not a form of punishment. Discipline is necessary to:

1. Provide a classroom situation conducive to learning.
2. Increase respect for duly constituted authority.
3. Promote the personal development of the student.
4. Protect the welfare of all from the abuses of a few.

It is the responsibility of parents to support our policy and to help their children to accept any consequences of their actions in a mature way.
