In Tandragee Junior High we are concerned with the promotion of ‘positive’ behaviour. We wish to ensure that worthy pupils are rewarded for their overall contribution to positive behaviour. Likewise, on occasions, it is necessary to sanction those pupils who do not conform to the standards required at the school. In order to monitor pupils’ behaviour, attitudes and application, a Class Report Book follows the class and is the responsibility of the Class Form Captain. In this book, the subject teacher can record positive and negative behaviour which will inform the Form Teacher, who in turn, will deal with any incidents appropriately and effectively. Pupils who contribute positively in class/school will receive a ‘Lilac Cad’ – this enables the pupil to gain points for his/her House. In cases where the anticipated behaviour is not reached, there is a graded set of sanctions – extra work, Detention, Form Teacher’s Report, Vice Principal’s Report and Exiting/Isolation. If necessary, parents will be invited to the school to discuss the matter. This policy is reflective of DENI guidelines on Promoting Positive Behaviour, as well as guidance from the SELB, and applies to pupils while on school premises and when engaged in any school activity while in school uniform. Pupils are reminded that on their way to and from school they are expected to behave as good ambassadors of the school. Effective discipline is a partnership between the pupil, the school and home. In order to maintain the highest standard of conduct and behaviour each of these partners must be fully committed.
