"Catch Children Being Good"
CODE OF BEHAVIOUR
Aims of Code of Behaviour:
The code of discipline aims to achieve three things:
Principles of Behaviour Policy:
If the school is to achieve a happy, secure environment in which children can develop to their full potential, it is necessary to provide a framework, which promotes constructive behaviour and discourages unacceptable behaviour. The aim is to ensure that the individuality of each child is accommodated while acknowledging the right of each child to an education in a relatively disruption free environment. The school code places a greater emphasis on rewards than on sanctions, and the ideal is that pupils will acquire self-discipline.
There are times however when it may be necessary to impose sanctions in order to maintain good order and to discourage offenders. We recognise the importance of a strong sense of community within the school and the existence of a high level of cooperation among teachers, ancillary staff, pupils, parents, the Board of Management and the Parents' Association. The Code of Behaviour was reviewed by all the partners in 2010.
Respect and Courtesy:
School Rules:
School rules are kept to a minimum and are devised with regard for the health, safety and welfare of all members of the school community. If a school is to function efficiently, it is necessary that rules and regulations are clearly stated and enforced consistently and wisely.
1. Be silent when asked, whisper at a task, talk when allowed but never out loud.
2. Be where you should, move as you should.
3. Time, use it, and don’t lose it.
4. In all you say and in all you do, treat grown ups as you ought to.
5. Bully not, share a lot, give back what you got.
6. A clean and tidy, litter free school is Scoil Oilibhéir’s golden rule.

The code of discipline aims to achieve three things:
- The efficient operation of the school and the structuring of in-class discipline so that there exists an efficient and stimulating learning environment.
- The maintenance of good order throughout the school and respect for the school environment.
- The development of self-discipline in pupils based on consideration, respect and tolerance for others.
