Policy 2 released RE installing mirrors in the toilets

Policy 2: Installing mirrors in boys and girls toilets

Rational

Bullying is a massive problem in schools these days. Installing mirrors in the toilets students will be able to at least manage their appearance to ensure that is one thing that they cant be bullied over. Installing mirrors will also make the school look more modern, which can entice new students to the school.


Regulations for the installing of new mirrors

If the mirrors are broken they don’t get replaced and students miss out on the benefits.


Benefits to the school

Students wearing their uniforms correctly as they will be able to self regulate the wearing of ties

Less bullying at school

The toilets will look more modern

Happier student body


Consequences for misuse

As mentioned above mirrors will not be replaces if damaged

JTSK's first policy announcement RE: chewing gum in school

Policy 1: Students should be allowed to chew Chewing gum

Rational

With dental health being an issue to young people as it is to adults we believe it is important that students are allowed to chew chewing gum. Chewing a chewing gum that is endorsed by the Australian Dental Association and proven to help clean and protect teeth from bacteria should be allowed to be chewed in school.


Regulations for chewing chewing gum in school

There will be a bin placed in the EZ that is designated for people’s chewing gum.

Monitors will check the tables and floor for evidence of chewing gum on a daily basis. Consequences will be imposed (stated later in document).

Only Australian Dental Association endorsed chewing gum in allowable

Students only allowed to chew their chewing gum during individual work. Not during workshops, assemblies etc.


Suggestions to limit misuse of chewing gum

Keep the individual wrapper so when students have finished chewing they are able to wrap the used chewing gum up in it before throwing the gum out.


Benefits to the school

Students have healthier teeth

Happier student body

Teachers can focus on less trivial concerns as they don’t have to check if people are chewing gum


Consequences for misuse

First offence: Clean gum off all tables in the EZ

Second offence: Individual is banned from chewing gum at school

If misuse is wide spread teachers reserve the right to ban chewing gum once again.
