We constantly reinforce that taking the time to focus on discipline and support positive behaviours does pay off in the end academically.
Discipline
We take pride in the discipline at Laerskool Nobel Primary. To maintain good discipline, our teachers and parents work together. Positive reinforcement is the secret. Nobel uses an AWESOME ATTITUDE RECORD. Pupils receive awards: certificates, incentives etc for exemplary behaviour, academics, cultural, extramural activities etc. We concentrate on positive enforcement.
We do however record poor academics, poor behavior, homework not done, etc. These records are available for parents to peruse at any time. Parents will be informed in writing to assist the teacher and will be requested to attend a meeting should the problem not be resolved or become severe. This is where your support is required to assist!

Code of conduct for the parent/guardian.
Because I am a responsible caring parent/guardian I will:
- See that my child attends school regularly and send a dated note to school explaining why my child was absent.
- I will also keep in mind that my child will be removed from the register should he/she be absent for 10 consecutive days.
- Support the teachers, check homework, reinforce good manners and ensure that my child understands respect for teachers, other adults as well as fellow pupils.
- See that my child adheres to the school rules, which includes the dress code for Nobel Primary School.
- See that my child has the correct stationery, books, uniform and articles required for activities. (Stationery fee is payable in advance which covers stationery fee for the year. This fee includes all work sheets, textbooks, library etc.)
- Instil good moral values for example – no stealing, no bullying, no weapons and no pornographic material (check cell phones regularly).
- Instil good manners (insist on please and thank you) and display respect for others.
- Teach my child that every right is related to a responsibility i.e. having the right to be in class to learn, but the responsibility not to disrupt the learning of others.
- Provide punctual transport to and from school including extra-mural activities.
- Attend school functions, governing body meetings and parent mornings. Parent mornings are scheduled for the second Saturday of the new term.
- Read all correspondence and return the return slips to school. (Keep the newsletters in a safe place for future reference.)
- See that school fees are paid regularly and assist in fund raises when required.
- I will not believe “stories” but will consult with the parties concerned to resolve issues.
I AM A SUPPORTIVE NOBEL PARENT AND EXPECT ONLY THE BEST FOR AND FROM MY CHILD BECAUSE I CARE!
