ANTI-BULLYING

DISCIPLINE

Nambucca Valley Christian Community School provides discipline which encourages the student’s individual growth to Christian maturity. The Discipline Policy is based on principles of procedural fairness in all areas of discipline including suspension and expulsion from the School.
In all matters of discipline, students are invited to state their version of events (the right to be heard). Discipline will be administered fairly and according to the seriousness of the misdemeanour.
The School encourages and uses positive forms of good and cooperative behaviour. Other forms of discipline include loss of play, loss of privileges and lunch time detentions.
In accordance with Government legislation, the School does not employ the use of corporal punishment nor does it encourage parents/carer or non-school persons to use this form of punishment as a response to a school issue.
