Havergal College Course Calendar, 2016-17 Academic Year

8. Sanctions When exercising its discretion to determine the appropriate sanction to apply to an offence, Havergal College will take into account: vi. the age of the student and her ability to fully understand the breach of the Code of Conduct; vii. the intention of the student; viii. the particular circumstances; ix. the nature and severity of the behaviour; and x. the impact on the school climate, including the impact on students or other individuals in the Havergal College community. The range of sanctions that the school will apply to offences includes: i. meeting with appropriate person(s) (such as peers, faculty, administrators); ii. contact with the parent(s) of the student involved; iii. where academic dishonesty is at issue, assign a mark of zero, assign a penalty, pro-rate the value of the assignment, have the student revise the assignment in whole or in part or have the student complete another assignment. iv. removal from a school activity or special program to complete work or a special assignment designated by the teacher; v. where acceptable use of technology is at issue, being restricted from access to technology (device and/or network); vi. conference involving student, teacher, parents and administration; vii. removal from class for a period of time; viii. detention; ix. probation; x. arrangement of a behaviour or performance contract with the involvement of the student, teachers and parents (conditions may include withholding re-enrolment); xi. formal suspension from school (conditions to return to school will be discussed with parents and students); and/or xii. expulsion from school. The school reserves the right to expel a student when the continued attendance of that student would not be in the best interests of that student or the school. The school also reserves the right to expel a student when her behaviour is in breach of the Code of Conduct, seriously jeopardizes the school’s ability to guarantee the dignity and safety of its students and interferes with learning, or involves conduct that has or will have a negative impact on the school climate. In these circumstances, the school will make reasonable efforts to assist the student’s family in securing suitable alternative education arrangements.
