School Discipline

General Discipline

Students at St. Joseph’s School are encouraged to voice their opinion freely and frankly at various fora. However we do insist that they do this politely and with decorum. The school forbids corporal punishment and has evolved a system of correction through democratic measures. When the school feels that a boy/a girl is unable to follow the rules in spite of corrective measures then the Principal may suspend, or in extreme cases expel the boy. The Principal’s decision on such matters is final and binding.

1. Great care is taken to form the character of pupils, to inspire them with a love of religion and morality to help them become against of needed social change in the country trend and to be gentlemen and women and acquire habits of the cleanliness and order, prepare them to be good and loyal citizen of India .
2. Monthly reports will keep parents informed of the behavior and diligence of their children. These reports have to be signed by the parents and returned teacher for verification.
Reports on general progress are given at the end of each term.
3. Pupil whose conduct is injurious to the moral tone of the school or incompatible with strict discipline is liable to be dismissed. In particular, stealing and cheating will be dealt very sternly. Whose presence in the opinion of the Principal is not beneficial or whose application is unsatisfactory or whose parents show little interest in their progress will be requested to be withdrawn.
4. The school will insist on strict punctuality, regular school attendance and fidelity to study and work assignment. Absence from school for merely social functions will be strongly discouraged.
