Disciplinary Measures

The following stages of measures exist:

• Talk with the child/entire group, finding the causes and trying to clarify them, involving the group in joint solution finding, if necessary apologies or involvement of support teacher.
• Written documentation by the teacher.
• Reasonable (written) assignment, which allows the individual reflection of own misconduct, followed by behaviour proposal for the future, including, if necessary, parents’ signature.
• Compensation for damages where appropriate.
• If necessary, a written reflection of their own misconduct outside of school hours/during the break under the supervision of a teacher
• Conversation with parents
• Temporary exclusion from sports or cultural activities, school trips, etc. as a logical consequence of repeated misconduct with hazard potential (violations of safety rules).
• Work during the break under the supervision of the teacher as a logical consequence of refusing to do work during school time.

(in cases of serious or persistent misbehaviour of the student)

• Discipline sheet
• Conversation with parents
• Temporary exclusion from school by the Director in individual cases (up to 3 days)

Note: Discipline sheets are kept in the student’s file for 2 years (for the transition), meeting minutes for 3 years.

(single offence and very serious violation of school rules or constant misbehaviour of students)

• First warning and/or consequences by the Director on a proposal from the Discipline Committee
• Temporary exclusion from school on a proposal from the Discipline Committee for a maximum of 30 days

Note: All records of disciplinary conferences shall be kept in the student’s file for 3 years.

The entire evidence material (notes of the teacher, discipline sheet, minutes of meetings, discipline meetings ...) serves as the basis for the assessment of the student’s social behaviour in the “multidisciplinary skills” section and the subject of “religion/ethics” of the student’s annual school year report.

The report is an official document that the student requires when transferring to another school. The three-year evidence of minutes in the student’s file is used for internal school purposes and in particular for the monitoring of the student’s social behaviour.

• The school rules with the “concept of respectful behaviour” for social interaction in the school community can be found on the official website (in progress) of S.S. Global School. The parents must take note of this already on enrolment of their child.
• From the first week of school until the end of the school year, the (class) teachers convey and demonstrate the importance of respect for people and the environment to the students during daily interactions.
• On the first parent’s evening, the class teacher discusses the school rules with the parents.

The parents can view all meetings minutes of the school concerning their child. A request for this must be addressed in writing to the Director, with a copy to the class teacher and all other teachers involved.
