Discipline

A school must have a strict but fair discipline policy. Discipline is not imposed as an end in itself but as a means of teaching the students self-discipline to enable them to take their place in society as responsible, mature, God-fearing adults.

The basis for the discipline policy at Saint Thomas Aquinas College is to instill in the student a desire to act in a Catholic manner for the love of God. This applies to all areas of College life: charity, obedience to superiors, academic excellence, grooming, presentation of work, etc.

Any punishment found necessary must be accepted as a consequence of the student's action.

The Principal reserves the right to expel a pupil who persists in serious misconduct and whose presence is clearly detrimental to the good of the others.
