Code
of Behaviour
Introduction
 If
the school is to achieve a happy, secure environment in which children can
develop to their full potential, it is necessary to provide a framework which
promotes constructive behaviour and discourages unacceptable behaviour. The
aim is to ensure that the individuality of each child is accommodated while
acknowledging the right of each child to an education in a relatively disruption
free environment. The
school code places a greater emphasis on rewards than on sanctions, and the
ideal is that pupils will acquire self-discipline. We
recognise the importance of a strong sense of community within the school and
the existence of a high level of co-operation among teachers, ancillary staff,
pupils, parents, the Board of Management and the Parents' Association
