The above mentioned offenses were considered minor in nature
and have been settled on the level of the class advisers. Pupils are
strictly monitored by their respective class advisers and are reminded of
the proper uniform and the prescribed haircut for boys. They were
constantly lectured on the importance of following the rules and
regulations of the school. In addition, they were reminded of the reasons
why these rules are in place. The class advisers also seek the attention
of their respective parents and informed them of their children’s offenses.
Likewise, they were also informed of school policies and regulations.
Since the infractions committed by the students are minor in
nature and none were recorded to be habitual offending pupils, no major
infractions have been elevated to the level of the Grade Level Team
Leaders or to the Prefect of Students.

Interventions:
It is the responsibility of the class advisers, as part of the
preventive services of the Grade School Department to constantly remind
pupils of the rules and regulations of the department and the importance
and reasons why these rules should be followed. This is done in order to
develop in the pupils the habit of observing and adhering to regulations.
Close monitoring of pupils are conducted daily especially during
their break times and during dismissal by the Prefect of Discipline, Grade
Level Team Leaders, Guidance Counselors, floating teachers and their
respective class advisers. Pupils who go to the restrooms are also
monitored to ensure no untoward incident happens. Likewise, release of
pupils during dismissal is done in a timely and orderly manner for safety
and security purposes. Class advisers even accompany their pupils to
the gate to encourage pupils not to linger aimlessly around the campus.
A specific area is designated for pupils who are not fetched on time. The
department has also set a curfew time for pupils. Those in grades 1, 2 &
3 are allowed in the campus until 3:00 PM while grades 4, 5 & 6 pupils
may stay until 4:00PM. Curfew time is strictly implemented by the
department.
On tardiness, pupils are constantly reminded the value of
punctuality. Pupils who have issues on tardiness are called for
conferences. Parents may also be called for conference if needed be.
The class advisers and guidance counselors may also conduct home
visitation as needed in order to seek the cooperation of
parents/guardians of discipline challenged pupils. On the other hand,
pupils who are habitually punctual and with perfect attendance are
rewarded by having their names posted on bulletin boards. This is also
done to encourage all students to be on time and to regularly go to
school.
The homeroom period is utilized by the class advisers in
discussing student behavior and discipline. Through healthy discussions,
pupils are taught positive values and advisers are given the chance to
interact with their pupils.
Maintaining student discipline is a joint effort among the class
advisers, floating teachers, the Grade Level Team Leaders, Guidance
Counselors and the Prefect of students. Each plays a part in molding the
GS pupils to persons of character and competences. Preventive
measures are undertaken to avoid pupils from becoming discipline
challenged students.

Grade School Department

CONCLUSIONS The Grade School Department has a comprehensive preventive
program which aims to encourage pupils to follow the policies of the
school. Through constant reminders and reasoning with them, the pupils
are taught of the importance of these rules and regulations and the value
of adhering to them. Pupils do not just see these as a set of rules to
follow but as a way of life.
For every infraction or offense committed the Grade School
Department has a corresponding sanction. It is clearly stated in the
manual for students what these offenses/infractions are and how these
are processed on the level of the class advisers, grade level team leaders
and prefect of students. In addition, the roles of these personnel in the
institutional discipline program are well defined. Each pupil is given a
copy of the manual for students for their guidance. Likewise their
respective parents/guardians are encouraged to read the manual for their
guidance as well. The discipline program is systematic and orderly to
ensure sanctions given to the offending pupils are appropriate and
conform to the general objectives of the program with respect to the
rights of the children in general.
High School Department
For every offense committed by a student, the high school
department has a corresponding sanction depending on the gravity of the
offense. It is clearly stipulated in the student manual and the governing
guidelines of the institutional Discipline Program for the students the
procedure the class advisers, teachers, grade and year level
coordinators, the Prefect of Students and the principal observe in
processing infractions and the forms of disciplinary actions given to the
offending students. Moreover, their roles in the discipline program are
well stated. Students and parents are well informed of the infraction
classified as minor and major offenses not just through the student
manual but also through the orientation program and constant reminders
given by the class advisers and subject teachers. The Prefect of Students
also conducts room to room orientation not to mention the additional
programs for students who already have active files due to the
commission of major offenses such as the Kamustahan, Kasunduan
Program, Regent and mentor programs in the hope of motivating these
students to do better and improve their behavior and performance in the
school.
Members of the faculty are given trainings and seminars on
classroom management including student discipline. In addition, faculty
members are tapped as marshals and help out in monitoring students
during beak times. Student monitoring and student discipline is not only
the responsibility of the prefect of students, grade/year level coordinators
and the class advisers. Subject area teachers and even the non teaching
personnel are enjoined to call the attention students who are observed to
be misbehaving and exhibiting behavior unbecoming of a PCCian.
Parents and guardians are also informed of the offense/s committed by
their children through conferences. Molding these students to become
persons of character and competence require the cooperation of the
entire academic institution, the parents and the students themselves.
Guidelines are set to ensure everyone involved is aware of the
institution’s policies on discipline and behavior.
College Department
The College Department imposes appropriate and reasonable
disciplinary measures in case of offenses or infractions of good discipline
committed by the students. No cruel or physically harmful punishment is
applied to students. The manual for students clearly defines the proper
social norms and conduct of students inside and within the school
premises. It is understood that a student enrolled in Pasig Catholic
College submits himself/herself to and agrees to act in accordance with
the rules and regulations formulated by the College Department as
approved by the faculty and representatives of the Student Coordinating
Board. Thus, compliance with these rules and regulations are expected
of the college students.
Data showed that the most common offense charged to college
students is not wearing of the prescribed uniform. The most number of
students who committed the said offense came from the first year college
students.
There is an existing procedure and guidelines including sanctions
and punishments for offenses/infractions committed by students. Due
process should always be exercised to ensure only appropriate measures
are undertaken. The College also seeks the cooperation of
parents/guardians when needed.
