School Discipline Policy

The Sydney Boys High School Code of Behaviour Discipline Policy

To ensure a positive school environment where all students are able to reach their full potential, everyone in our school community is expected to fulfil the four core values of the school:

Dedication

Performing to the best of our ability, fulfilling commitments and having the determination, resilience and versatility to embrace challenges.

Respect

Acting in a thoughtful manner, considering how our words and actions impact ourselves, others and our environment.

Integrity

Doing the right thing even when no one is watching, including being open and honest in all situations, taking ownership of our actions, as well as seeking and valuing the truth.

Compassion

Creating an inclusive community, showing understanding and empathy as we support each other at all times.  

These simple undertakings form the basis of our School Discipline Policy.  Minor breaches of discipline surrounding these values are handled in the classroom, in corridors and playgrounds and at sporting or excursion venues. Repeated or serious breaches of school rules are referred to Head Teachers, Deputy Principals or to the Principal in defined circumstances.   

Discipline Procedures

Disciplinary matters will be dealt with by individual teachers who will discuss the problem with the student(s) involved and who will take steps to resolve it. If the teacher is unable to resolve the matter, it will be referred to the Head Teacher. Certain matters such as not scanning into school, breaches of the school uniform policy or serious disciplinary breaches will be referred directly to the Deputy Principal. Students who persistently break the school rules are interviewed and any of the consequences outlined below may be invoked.   

If a student is in breach of school rules and expectations, teachers may:

• issue a warning or reprimand
• place the student on detention or school service at lunchtime
•  record details on the school鈥檚 student management system for any follow-up actions required

 A matter referred to the Head Teacher, in addition may result in:

• a phone call or note to the family
• a short exclusion from attending a particular class
• a referral to the Year Adviser and/or the School Counsellor
• a referral to a Deputy Principal

 A matter referred to a Deputy Principal, in addition may result in:

• a before school detention
• a formal caution
• a daily monitoring program (to be signed by the teacher each lesson)
• a referral to the Principal

 Serious breaches of discipline, e.g. violence, possession of a prohibited item, drugs, displaying inappropriate images, persistent disobedience, smoking, vaping, persistent lateness, truancy, will be dealt with in the first instance by a Deputy Principal.   

The Principal will be the final point of referral for repeated breaches of discipline.  

A matter referred to the Principal may also lead to:

• a short or long suspension from class or school
• a recommendation for expulsion

In some cases, it is mandatory for the Principal to follow a certain set of procedures which may include notifying the police (e.g. if a student is found to be in possession of weapons or drugs) or involve the School Counsellor.

 

School Behaviour Support and Management Plan

Sydney Boys High School is committed to explicitly teaching and modelling positive behaviour and to supporting all students to be engaged with their learning. This is conducted through regular reinforcement of our four school values, along with the delivery of our Values Education and Careers Education programs in Years 7-10. Our processes are aligned with the Department of Education policy statement on Student Behaviour Procedures -
