8.1 PHILOSOPHY
The term “discipline” comes from the word “disciple,” which means “one who learns.” The purpose of discipline is to strengthen the school community through reconciliation and the creation of disciples who demonstrate strong virtues, especially self-discipline, love and mercy. Discipline in the school is to be considered as an aspect of moral guidance and not a form of punishment. It is a means of training the child to assume responsibility and be in more control of his/her conduct, helping the child to grow progressively in self-competency and maturity. Discipline promotes genuine character building.
Assumption BVM School students are expected to be responsible for their behavior at all times. They are to be a credit to themselves and their school. Each student must be familiar with all school rules and conform to them. Continued non-conformity to these rules may result in disciplinary action according to school guidelines.
