choice.

5. Establishing Priorities

In the whole process of learning more discipline, we establish priorities
indicating what is important for us and for our future. We do not get
distracted by the pursuit of petty things, instead, we strive to get our priorities
right and set our sights on them to make ourselves ready for the future.

6. Sincerity
Sincerity is another key to achieve discipline. We are expected to behave well
always. We behave properly because we know that it is the right thing to do.
We follow rules not just to please anyone in school but because we sincerely
believe that this is best for us.

B. Definition of Discipline

Discipline is defined as adherence to or following a certain order of behavior
in accordance with what is RIGHT, FAIR, and JUST. These are espoused in
the 3Rs of Discipline:

Respect for self, for others, and for the school.

Responsibility toward self, towards others and tasks by coming to school every day
and getting ready to learn, working hard, and following rules and regulations.

Relationships that positively contribute to a safe and caring environment; affirm the
dignity of every individual.

Discipline is another word for love and care. As responsible adults in the SISC family,
we manifest our love and care for our students by helping them develop good habits in
schoolwork and play, feeding their minds with healthy thoughts, and preventing and
protecting them from trouble and harm. Starting them out with a disciplined life while
they are young will help them become adults who will be more consistently
responsible and successful in their later years.
