Discipline Policy
Discipline Policy of PISOD
PISOD focuses on the overall development of the students, to be disciplined and refined in every walk of life. The school discipline policy is communicated to the students from time to time, often verbally and occasionally in writing. It must be noted that in extreme cases, violation of the discipline policy can lead to an out-of-school suspension or even removal from the school rolls (with the permission of the Board of Governors).
