The College is committed to a philosophy of behavioural self management. Discipline is based on self respect and positive regard for others. We practice redemptive discipline where students firstly are given opportunity to reflect on their behaviour, and then “make right their wrong”.
All discipline cases are considered on an individual and case-by-case basis.
BAC is firmly committed to the laws of natural justice and in all discipline cases we strive to achieve an outcome that is fair and reasonable, and ultimately reflects the Christian standards and ethos of the College.
The BAC Way is binding on all students at BAC and any breach can ultimately result in suspension or expulsion from the College. |
