Detention Guideline
The Guideline is to be used in conjunction with the North Nowra Public School Student Well-being Policies and Guidelines.
Guideline Rationale:
- To ensure the safety and well-being of all students and staff, as well as provide an educational environment where all students can achieve and succeed, it is essential that behaviour is monitored.
- All staff, have a responsibility to promote positive behaviour, to encourage mutual respect and to instil self-discipline in students.
- Where students do not respond positively to the standards and expectations of the School, it may, on occasions, be necessary to impose a fair, reasonable and proportionate sanction.
The guideline details the procedures relating specifically to the issuing of detention.
