Behavioral Expectation

As a school dedicated to raising complete and responsible citizens, we not only emphasize academic excellence but we also set the highest form of behavioral standards for our students. We have laid down a number of rules for our students to follow and we enjoin parents to assist us in achieving our behavioral goals.

THE BEHAVIORAL EXPECTATIONS OF STUDENTS CAN BE SUMMARISED THUS:

  • Respect for self;
  • Respect for authorities;
  • Respect for others.

We believe respect for self births, respect for others and authorities. Students are expected to remain respectful and obedient to teachers and their peers. All students are enjoined to report disagreements and potential altercations to their class teachers.

While we do not condone misbehavior, we also extol and award students who havebeen of excellent behavior. We believe this will encourage others to toe the same line.

DISCIPLINE PROCESS

Corporal punishment and smacking are unacceptable practices at SBS.

However, teachers are expected to discipline students where appropriate. Our teachers provide a level of leadership and guidance which permit as much freedom by pupils as they demonstrate they can use wisely.

HYGIENE

SBS places a lot of emphasis on personal hygiene thus we have incorporated hygiene as part of our academic curriculum.

Students are encouraged and supervised to wash their hands after using the toilet, blowing their noses, before and after eating, after disposing garbage and so on.

The school utilizes professional cleaners for daily cleaning of the premises. Likewise, strict hygiene procedures have been put in place for kitchen staff as well as other staff members.
