If this does not lead to an improvement, parents will be contacted and sanctions may apply. These include After School Detention and Working in Isolation from other members of the community for a day. In exceptional circumstances a student may be excluded from the school. Written notice of detention is sent to parents. Detentions must be attended on the date set.
