PHILOSOPHY

A student of the IIFT assumes an obligation to conduct himself / herself in a manner

compatible with the IIFT's function as an educational institution.

GENERAL PRINCIPLES

1. STUDENT BEHAVIOUR

1.1 Behave in a courteous and considerate manner should set a good example

At no time does a student have the right to behave in a manner which disrupts the learning of

other students, or which causes another student physical or emotional harm.

2. EXCLUSION / EXPULSION FROM IIFT

2.1 Is a final warning

2.2 Series of three warnings, however falls away, when:

2.2.1 student in the opinion of the D.C. (Disciplinary Council) affects the moral and

disciplinary standards of the IIFT or the emotional and physical well-being of other

students.

2.2.2 refers to matters such as theft , dishonesty and assault when criminal charges may be

laid. In these instances a student may, with immediate effect, be issued with a final

warning or excluded from the IIFT.

3. DENIAL / LOSS OF PRIVELEGES / RECOGNITION

The DC will:

3.1.1 Participate in extra mural activities in tours and going on excursions

3.1.2 A basic criteria for all awards accorded to students by the IIFT is good behaviour. This

also applies to SRC - members. Students, who already have received such an award or

bursary and then behave in a manner which disgraces that honour or award, will

immediately forfeit.

4. GENERAL

4.1 The ultimate goal of this policy is to ensure that in changing times the IIFT is able to

maintain a standard of discipline acceptable to the students, parents and staff.

4.2 Without discipline constructive and meaningful education cannot take place.
