PLAYGROUND

If a student has made the choice of not following the appropriate behaviours, they will be subjected to the Course of Action as outlined in the St. Michael’s Code of Behaviour.
In all cases, the Administration will be advised of the student’s conduct and will initiate consequences in accordance with the Course of Action.
SEVERELY DISRUPTIVE BEHAVIOUR
Behaviour that is frequent or serious enough to significantly disrupt the learning climate of St. Michael’s, endangers the wellbeing of others, or damages school property is classified as severely disruptive.
This type of behaviour rarely occurs at St. Michael’s, however, students who display behaviour of this nature will be dealt with immediately and in accordance with the St. Michael’s Code of Behaviour.
Examples of severely disruptive behaviour include:
Vandalism
Persistent opposition to authority
Habitual neglect of responsibilities
Bullying or fighting
Smoking on school property
Pulling fire alarms
Physical or sexual assault/harassment
Possessing or selling stolen property; drugs, alcohol or weapons of any sort
The immediate consequence for any of these behaviours will be suspension from St. Michael’s, followed by a conference with the parent/guardian and the student.
