PRINCIPAL’S LETTER
26 October 2015
Dear Parents
With 2015 racing to a close, it's Registration time again!
I thank you in advance for being patient as you go through this rather tedious task that ensures we
are ready for 2016.
Just a few reminders about the Registration Process:
All parents must complete the registration process.
Registration will take place over the next two weeks.
Note well: the last day for Registration is 6 November 2015.
This process enables us to get our organisation in place for 2016.
Please note well: this process must be completed for each child in
order for us to guarantee a placement for next year.
STAGGERING THE START OF STAGE 1, 2 AND 3 BUNNIES
In order to make the start of school as smooth as possible for our tiny bunnies, we divide the
children into two groups and stagger the starting date for the Stage 1, 2 and 3 children. This allows
the teachers to better facilitate their integration process into their new class.
We would appreciate it if you could read through the arrangements for the first week of school
carefully and note the group your little one falls into to avoid unnecessary frustration.

DISCIPLINE CODE
Revised November 2015
1. POLICY DECLARATION
1.1. The Reddam House philosophy is structured to create a sense of freedom within which
individuality is encouraged, personal growth and self-confidence promoted and freedom
of expression is encouraged. The extent of that freedom is defined by the Discipline
Code (“the Code”), and the responsibility is placed on the Student to enjoy the freedom
within the parameters of this Code. Reddam House offers an education without fear. The
Discipline Code is a partnership between Reddam House, Parents and Students. This
Code is applicable whilst Students and Parents are on Reddam House’s premises, at
School functions or on any occasion where they are identifiable as Reddam House
Students or Parents.
1.2. The Code is to be read in conjunction with Reddam House rules, policies and protocols
and should be considered from the perspective of the core values and ethos of Reddam
House. By submitting an application for admission to Reddam House and accepting a
place that may be offered by Reddam House Parents and Students confirm that they
have accepted and are bound by this Code, Reddam House rules, policies and protocols
as well the core values and ethos of Reddam House.
1.3. The Staff understands the policies and shall apply them accordingly.
1.4. It is the responsibility of Parents to support Reddam House in enforcing the Code.
Parents are requested to communicate any concerns openly and constructively to the
respective Head of School and to do so without lobbying other parents, other students,
members of staff or outside parties until such time as all internal processes have been
exhausted.

2. THE PURPOSE OF THE POLICY
2.1. To ensure fair and equal treatment of all Students.
2.2. To encourage timely action in the event that a Student’s behaviour or performance
proves to be unsatisfactory or unacceptable.

2.4. To promote efficient administration and good governance of Reddam House.
3. CREDITS, MERITS, DEBITS, DEMERITS AND DISCIPLINARY HEARING
3.1. A system of positive discipline is implemented whereby Students can earn Credits.
The accumulation of Credits leads to recognition and reinforcement of positive
behaviour with the awarding of Merits.
3.2. Credits and Merits do not cancel out Debits and Demerits.
3.3. Contravention of the Discipline Code will result in the awarding of Debits and
Demerits.
3.4. Whenever a Student is alleged to have committed an act or acts of Serious
Misconduct and the Head of School has determined that such contravention warrants
dismissal, the disciplinary proceeding set out in this Code will apply.
4. THE AWARDING OF CREDITS (Green Memo)
In recognition of positive effort, attitude and endeavours, as defined by the Head of School
and staff from time to time, Credits are earned. Credits may be accumulated which may
lead to further acknowledgements and the awarding of Merits.
5. THE ISSUING OF DEBITS (Yellow Memo)
The commitment of Reddam House is to facilitate the all-round growth of each student to
his or her maximum potential. To this end we expect students to be committed
academically, culturally and in sport. Failure to meet these expectations may result in a
debit/s being issued to students.

2. Parents are encouraged to set appropriate restrictions on internet access and to be vigilant
in maintaining these.

internet and social media away from its campus, other than to continually instruct, educate
and counsel its students with regards to cyber safety.
TAKING CARE OF TECHNOLOGICAL DEVICES
1. Security and care of an electronic device is both a concern and a priority for both parents
and the school.
2. For its part, Reddam House, through its teachers, undertakes to educate its students in the
correct use and care of technological devices.
3. It is expected that parents will support the education process by reinforcing the best care
practice with their children.

parents with their child(ren).
Page 33 of 48

2. It is assumed that such software/Apps are appropriate in nature; however if deemed
unsuitable by the school/teacher, parents will be contacted to discuss the matter.
PARENT / GUARDIAN RESPONSIBILITIES
Reddam House views the use of technological devices at home as important as their use in the
school setting. Parents therefore have an extremely important role in reinforcing and
maintaining the practices of safe use of the device, by:1. Talking to their child(ren) about values and the standards that they should follow with
regard to the use of the internet – just as they do with the use of all media information
sources such as television, telephones, movies, radio and iPods etc.
2. Establishing clear family rules and procedures regarding the use of technological devices
at home designed to protect family members from abuse, overuse and addiction to social
media.
SCHOOL RESPONSIBILITIES
The wireless capacity of technological devices enables students to access the internet for
information and research and to connect with their peers to communicate and collaborate. With
this increased capacity to connect comes an increased need for students to understand the
ethical and legal (including privacy and copyright) considerations for safe and responsible
behaviour online.
To protect students from unsuitable content, Reddam House undertakes to:
1. Monitor, and restrict information stored on or transmitted via Reddam House owned
equipment and to investigate inappropriate use of resources.
2. Provide staff guidance to aid students in doing research and help ensure student
compliance of the acceptable use policy.
Page 34 of 48
STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES
Reddam House places a strong emphasis on students managing their devices and taking
responsibility for the way in which they are used. Therefore students will undertake to:1. Use computers/devices in a responsible and ethical manner.
2. Obtain permission prior to recording and/or posting anyone and/or anything on school
property or where Reddam House can be identified.
3. Obey general school rules concerning behavior and communication that apply to
technological device use.
4. Use all technology resources in an appropriate manner so as to not damage school
equipment. This “damage” includes, but is not limited to, the loss of data resulting from
delays, non-deliveries, mis-deliveries or service interruptions caused by the student’s
negligence and/or inappropriate behaviour.
5. Contact a teacher/staff member about any security problems they may have
encountered.
6. Monitor their devices and report any suspicious activity.
7. Secure their devices after they have completed working on a task, in order to protect
their work and information.
INSURANCE
1. It is suggested that parents provide their own insurance via their home and contents
policy or by taking out a separate insurance policy for the device to cover its use and
possible damage or theft.

Peace of mind for “non-aftercare” parents
The Adventure Zone offers a service to parents who require afternoon care for their children. The
Adventure Zone is situated on the school premises and offers structured and fun activities in the afternoon
from the close of the school day to 17:30 sharp.
Children are encouraged to participate in co-curricular activities and schedules are managed to ensure that
children attend their sporting and cultural commitments.
A hot meal and juice/water will be provided daily for lunch.
Children are encouraged to change out of their uniform each afternoon into casual clothes that are clearly
labeled. Each child MUST bring a sunhat to aftercare every day.
Holiday Programmes:
The Adventure Zone will be open during the school holidays from 07:30 to 17:30 each day. An extra cost
will cover fun activities and outings planned during the holidays. These costs are determined for each holiday
period and parents will be notified timeously.
Casual attendance in the holidays is R60 plus cost of holiday activities. The Adventure Zone is closed on
public holidays and over the December break.
Homework:
A supervised homework period commences 15mins after the end of the school day. Although the teacher on
duty does her utmost to ensure that all homework is done, parents need to check and sign their child’s
homework every evening. Should your child be involved in extra murals, there is an opportunity until 4pm to
complete homework, thereafter all formal work ceases and the children engage in fun activities.
Any incomplete homework will need to be done at home.
