Students must be given the two warnings with ample opportunity to rectify the behaviour. The teacher that referred the student will make a OneSchool incident entry selecting the non compliant with school routine behaviour category. When referring the incident, the teacher must select Withdrawal Room as the behaviour strategy. This incident report must be referred to the relevant Head of Department. It is the responsibility of the teacher to check that the student did in fact attend the Withdrawal Room by checking the Withdrawal Room Log (IDAttend). This must be done by the close of business to ensure the process has been followed and that HODs/HOHs can follow up.
