Student Discipline

In an academic setting like DCHS there are several programmes running that call for the undivided commitment of the leaner, teacher, the administrator, parent and other stakeholders that are involved in the day to day running of the school. To cultivate this commitment, a high degree of discipline is required by all stakeholders. This discipline may require that rather onerous adjustments be made by the involved persons in a bid to align stakeholder interests to those of DCHS. It is for this reason that the school has designed a number of all-embracing codes of conduct for each of the categories of key players it is involved with. These codes of conduct have precise measures accompanying them that ensure that they are observed and that the desired behavior is eventually elicited and sustained in the learner. Nevertheless, the school seeks to increase fidelity to and appreciation of these codes so as to provide a suitable ecosystem, conducive for realization of school vision and mission.

 Goal

 To create a culture of appreciation and fidelity to set codes and standards that may from time to time be put in place to elicit and sustain desired behavior and character in both staff and students.

Objectives

  1.  Regularly review, optimize, redesign, document, approve and communicate different codes of conduct to meet the most recent standards set by the school.
  2. Regularly and effectively communicate issues of discipline to all DCHS stakeholders through different media causing an impression on them about the need to be disciplined.
  3. To establish a robust class, compound and dormitory environment management system by beginning of term I 2015.
