Student Athlete Policy

ATTENDANCE AND ATTITUDE REQUIREMENTS FOR PARTICIPATING IN CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES FOR THE COLLEGE

A condition for participating in co-curricular activities for the college is the student will have the correct attitude towards their schooling and at the same time will have acceptable attendance. If either of these is not the case, students will be withdrawn from their activity as set out below.

Attendance

If there is a serious concern about a student’s attendance they will be withdrawn from the activity. This would happen after there have been discussions with parents by the HOH about attendance concerns and the poor attendance continues. This includes period by period absences or non attendance at school.

• Step 1: Withdrawn from the activity for 1 week

• Step 2: After further interventions the attendance continues to be an issue, the student is withdrawn from the activity for 2 weeks.

• Step 2: After further interventions the attendance continues to be an issue, the student is withdrawn from the activity for the rest of the ‘season’

Discipline Issues / Poor Attitudes

• Students who have been stood down:

• 1st stand down – the student is withdrawn from the activity while on stand down

• 2nd or 3rd stand down – the student will be withdrawn from the activity while on stand-down and while she/he is on red report.

• If the student is referred to SMT by HOH for behavioural issues, the student will be withdrawn from the activity while she/he is on red report.

Suspension: If a student returns to school, the BOT imposes conditions on the student.

Individual circumstance may be taken into consideration.
