11   Procedures for the Re-Introduction of the Student into the School

The parents/guardians and the student may be requested to attend a meeting with the Principal or another staff member delegated by the Principal before the student returns to class. The purpose of this meeting is to emphasise the seriousness of the misbehaviour that gave rise to the suspension and to ensure parental/guardian support for the school’s Code of Behaviour. It is also an opportunity to stress parental/guardian responsibility in supporting the school in its efforts to help their daughter to behave well when she returns to school. In addition, the supports that the school intends to put in place to support the student on her return may be outlined at such a meeting.
The parents/guardians and/or the student may be requested to sign their commitment to the Code of Behaviour or other conditions as deemed appropriate by the Principal or Board of Management. The parents/guardians and the student will be informed in advance of any such other conditions.
When the suspension is completed, the student will be given the opportunity and support for a fresh start.
Although a record is kept of the behaviour and any sanction imposed, once the sanction has been completed, the school will expect the same behaviour of this student as of all other students.
