Implementing Guidelines for offenses that may be committed by a student. Offenses
are described as actions that violate the appropriate Student Code of Conduct.

The Implementing Guidelines describe the possible offenses a student may commit
and the most appropriate corresponding sanctions for the violation. The guidelines
were designed to set the standard of a Southville International School and Colleges
student being disciplined in line with the school’s manner of handling cases.
The perspective of the punishment should be viewed in terms of correcting students’
behavior to enable him/her to have good character and to be a good person.

Sanctions are not administered for the sake of merely punishing a student.
Furthermore, these guidelines recognize the fact that every student is unique.

It is therefore recommended that proper investigation be done before the sanctions are
implemented and the specific circumstances of the student be considered.

1. The following is the schedule of start of classes:

Grades 1-2 8:20 AM and 12:00 NN
Grades 3 to 5
Grades 6 to 12 Between 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM
IB 1 and IB 2 Between 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM

2. The following is the procedure for admitting ABSENT students:

II.1. An excuse letter for absence from the parents or guardian will be required
before the student is allowed to attend classes. The letter will be presented to the
Deputy Principal or Head of Discipline.

II.2. Only valid reasons for absence/ tardiness will be considered: illness, death in
the family, vehicular accident, prior medical appointment, and other instances
similar in nature. The reason should be clearly stated in the letter with the attached
legal or medical document.

II.3. The decision to excuse or not to excuse a student’s absence or tardiness not
similar to the aforementioned instances will be discretionary.
