Discipline
Recognitions
At Word of Life Christian School, we believe in celebrating positive behaviour, character, effort, and achievement.
Learners who consistently demonstrate our school values may receive recognitions that are communicated to both learners and parents.
Recognitions are recorded and may be communicated to parents through reports, meetings, assemblies, certificates, newsletters, or other school communication platforms.
At Word of Life Christian School, we believe that recognising positive choices encourages learners to grow in character, confidence, and Christ-like leadership.
Discipline
At Word of Life Christian School, discipline is used to guide and redirect learners towards responsible behaviour, accountability, and respect for others.
All teachers have the authority and responsibility to uphold the school’s Code of Conduct and address inappropriate behaviour.

Parent Communication

We believe discipline is most effective when learners, parents, and the school work together in partnership.
