Strict student discipline<\/strong> does not end <\/strong>with just obeying rules<\/strong>. Within self-discipline, students take on values <\/strong>and exercise self-control<\/strong> even when they are not being watched<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Punctuality, responsibility, respect, <\/strong>and involvement in learning responsibilities <\/strong>characterise a disciplined student. It is these characteristics that are required to thrive academically <\/strong>and as an individual<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
