Detentions - A Process for Reflecting on Behaviour that Affects Learning |
- Detentions are held at Mount Hutt College on Tuesday and Thursday second lunch times in E3, between 1.35pm and 2.05pm.
- Names for detention are entered by staff into the detention data base.
- Detentions are supervised by senior staff members.
- Failure to attend a school detention without an acceptable reason to their Dean prior to the detention, will result in another detention.
- Attendance at detention takes priority over other commitments, with the exception of students who are taking part in a whole class detention.
- If a student fails to attend their lunchtime detention, they will be placed into the isolation room during the first lunch break on the following day.
- If students fail to attend this isolation catch up, they will be placed into isolation for up to ½ day by a Dean or member of SLT.
- It is the student's responsibility to have eaten lunch prior to detention.
- Students are to provide their Student Diary and pen and will have their diary stamped (on that date) to inform parents they had a detention.
- In a detention students will complete a restorative written worksheet.
- Any student who accumulates 3 lunchtime detentions in any one term will go to an after school detention (negotiated between the Dean and the family) for the remainder of the term plus placed on a Behaviour card. As part of respectful practice, deans will notify primary caregivers by text via Kamar.
