Code of Conduct aims to establish a disciplined and purposeful
school environment, dedicated to improving and maintaining the quality
of education.  School discipline is the responsibility of the governing
body, the principal, educators and assistance from the learner
representative council.

The main objective of this Code of Conduct is to create an orderly,
disciplined and purposeful school environment in which meaningful and
qualitative education can take place. Self-discipline is promoted
whereby learners will not deprive other learners of quality education.

This Code of Conduct is drawn up in terms of Section 8 of the S.A. Schools Act 1996.
