Rules for Students at AICS

1. Punctuality and preparation

We are engaged and self-motivated. We maximise our learning experience. This means that homework is done on time and that we are in class on time, to get ready for planned activities and for lessons to start. We make sure the right materials are brought for the tasks set and that they are taken out and ready for utilisation. We do not wait for the teacher to give instructions to do so.

2. Organisation

We make good use of our time. This means that the first few minutes of an activity are used to organise materials and to check whether everything is in the right order. We may receive some materials for activities, upon which our name and the date should be written. We all have an Agenda, which we use for recording our assignments and planning our activities.

3. Behaviour

We display basic manners and show appropriate respect for those in authority over us and for the feelings and rights of our classmates. This means that we greet staff and that we are polite to all others. It also means that only one person in a class speaks at a time and that we are not rude. Eating and drinking is done outside or in the Aula only- this includes chewing gum. We try to be positive and encouraging towards ourselves and others at all times.

4. Responsibility

We have the final responsibility for our work and our behaviour. This means that we take action if we have missed a class and need to catch up on our assignments. If we know in advance we are going to miss a class, we will inform school in advance and ask our teacher what assignments we will miss, and it is up to us to make sure we hand in the work to our teacher on an agreed date. This also means that we can never refer to someone else’s work or behaviour to justify our own actions. We are expected to be on the school premises for the scheduled on-site activities, where all rules of normal conduct and behaviour apply. In suspicious circumstances, we accept that the Leader for Learning is authorised to organise an (un)announced search anywhere in the school building.
