Conflict Resolution Process - Please note revision:
The conflict resolution process appearing on page 8 of the Code of Conduct and as the first of the appendices in the Student/Parent Handbook contains an error. This also applies to the chart which can be downloaded below. Meeting with the discipline Committee is not one of the steps of the conflict resolution process. A meeting with the Discipline Committee is intiated by the school, and only occurs when a student has accumulated 40 or more demerits.
Please click here to view the Conflict Resolution Chart.
