10. Code of ConduCt
students are expected to abide by the code(s) of conduct below; all staff are expected to help enforce this code
beinG a resPonsibLe MeMber of tHe sCHooL CoMMunity
the Regent’s school Pattaya expects each student to cooperate fully by taking responsibility for his or her own progress through preparation for, and participation in, all classes he or she attends. this requires showing concern for the need of others to pursue their studies without interference, behaving appropriately at school both within and outside the classroom, and respecting the authority of all teachers and other members of staff.
It is essential that students develop respect for themselves as individuals and as students of the school. the Regent’s school Pattaya therefore requires students to conduct themselves at all times in a manner which will enhance their reputation and that of others at the Regent’s. there is zero tolerance for verbal and non-verbal abuse. there is also zero tolerance for illegal behaviour.
students are expected to:
10. treat members of the school community and visitors with courtesy.
11. Respect and take responsibility for school property.
12. Wear the school uniform correctly.
13. Conduct themselves at all times in a manner which will enhance their own reputation and that of the Regent’s
school Pattaya.
14. Be punctual and attend all classes, unless illness or approved absence prevents attendance.
15. Remain on the school property throughout the day unless signed permission to leave is granted by the Head of Year or the Head of secondary.
16. Be diligent in their studies and complete set homework to the best of their ability.
17. Use the student Diary effectively and ensure that it remains in good condition. Bring the student Diary to every class and to each tutor group. no graffiti or covering of any kind is acceptable.
18. Abide by the school expectations published in the secondary Parents’ Handbook on internet use, transport – privately and school bus, living arrangements and guardianship.
19. Abide by the discipline procedures of the school.
there is also a 10 point conduct pledge that all parents and students are expected to sign. the content of this is below.
· I understand that the Regent’s is a very special school that expects the highest standards both academically and socially from its students. It aims to produce well rounded leaders for the world, and all members of the community are expected to display exemplary behaviour, particularly in maintaining the rules of the community.
· I recognise that the rules of this community and family may be different from the rules of the family from which I come. the Regent’s family is much larger and therefore it requires a different set of rules to make the community work, so that each member can receive the best education and training possible. I understand that thai culture is relatively conservative and that my behaviour must reflect this. As a member of the Regent’s school, I recognise that I must value and learn from thai culture and tradition, and adapt my behaviour to be acceptable within this community.
· I believe that all the Regent’s staff are committed to providing for each student the best possible environment, conducive to our academic, personal and moral development. thus, in return I must commit myself to keeping the environment at the Regent’s clean and healthy for others at all times and I must uphold the standards and the expectations of the school.
· I acknowledge that the following are the most significant rules of the Regent’s community and that they must not be broken at any time.
As a good member of this Regent’s community I hereby pledge that I shall not:
1. bring alcohol on to campus or drink alcohol on campus or during any school trip
2. bring drugs on to the campus or use drugs on campus (including cigarettes) or on any school trip
3. become involved in physical relationships with other students on campus or on any school trip -this includes holding hands, kissing and cuddling etc
4. bring undesirable computer based, written or magazine materials on to the campus e.g. pornographic material
5. intentionally harm any other person, verbally or physically
I further pledge that I shall at all times I shall:
6. show respect and courtesy to the adult members of the community who have the task of caring for me;
7. wear my school uniform in a neat, well presented fashion;
8. present myself at all times in a neat, punctual and appropriate manner.
Whenever outside the school premises I shall refrain from;
9. visiting any adult venues such as bars or nightclubs
10. consuming alcohol, tobacco or drugs
11. CoMMendation systeM

Level 7 (but in Mathematics to Level 8). At the start of Year 7 the average student is working at around Level 4. By the end of Key stage 3 (Year 9) most students would progress 2 levels. the average student will be at Level 5 or 6 for most subjects. Only about 10% of students will be at Level 7 or better at the end of Key stage 3.
Range of levels expected Age at the end of Key stage expected attainment
Key stage 2 2-5 11 4
Key stage 3 3-7 14 5-6
teachers decide what level a student is working at by using a variety of assessment methods and techniques – including formal testing and examinations. they will compare their assessments to the level descriptors in the english national Curriculum and use their professional
judgment and knowledge of the student and his/her work to make a decision.

the University of Cambridge and eDeXCeL IgCse/gCse courses are amongst the most recognised qualifications in the world. these courses are renowned for developing vital educational skills, including recall
of knowledge, oral skills, problem solving, initiative, teamwork and investigative skills. the qualifications provide a solid foundation for higher level courses, such as the IB Diploma.
IgCse/gCse courses cater for different levels of ability with a choice between core and extended papers in many subjects. the core curriculum is based on an overview of the subject and is suitable for students expected to achieve grades C to g. the extended curriculum is more challenging and designed for students who are expected to achieve grades A* to C.
IgCse/gCse offers a flexible course of study that gives candidates the freedom to choose subjects that are right for them, whilst providing them with a broad knowledge base and lifelong skills.
14. CurriCuLuM - Key staGe 5
tHe ib diPLoMa ProGraMMe
the International Baccalaureate Diploma is designed as a pre-university qualification for students aged between 16 and 19. It is currently being taught in over 1000 schools around the world. A student who graduates with an IB diploma would be well placed for entrance to top universities in the UK, UsA, Canada, europe or Australasia.
the programme consists of four main strands:
6 chosen subjects which reflect a breadth of educational areas. A student must choose one subject from each group, selecting three Higher Levels (HL) for 6 periods per week and three standard Levels (sL) for 4 periods per week:
· group 1 (studies in Literature): english Literature, thai Literature or other approved first languages as “school-supported self-taught” – such as French, Russian, Korean or Chinese at sL
· group 2 (Language Acquisition): english Language (for second language learners), French Language or ab initio study (for beginners and at sL only) in French, Mandarin or spanish
· group 3 (Individuals and societies): Business and Management, economics, geography, Information technology in a global society (Itgs), Psychology
· group 4 (experimental science): Biology, Design and technology, environmental systems and societies (sL), Physics
· group 5 (Mathematics): Mathematics (Higher Level or standard Level), Mathematical studies (sL)
· group 6: Visual Arts, theatre, Music, Chemistry, economics, History, Business studies, geography, sports science
each subject is assessed by coursework and examination at the end of two years’ study. each subject will count for 7 points towards the diploma.
· theory of Knowledge (toK): the toK course runs throughout the two years of the diploma programme as a taught subject. students are assessed through a presentation and by a written essay on a given topic.
· the extended essay: the extended essay is a 4000 word independent research paper on a subject of the student’s choice. A member of the teaching staff will act as a supervisor to oversee the essay.
· Creativity, Action, service (CAs) programme: this is a unique programme to the IB Diploma. students must complete 150 hours in a combination of Creativity, Action and service. this programme contributes no points towards the diploma, but if 150 hours are not recorded then a diploma cannot be awarded.
15. disCiPLine
Adherence to school rules and abiding by the Code of Conduct or IB student Contract is vital for students. the boundaries for students are put in place for the benefit of all students of the school.
the Form tutor is the primary point of parental contact. Parents will receive information from the Form tutor at the start of the year with pertinent contact details. the Heads of Year, listed below, are responsible for student discipline within their Year groups. the senior teacher, Pastoral has overall responsibility for all student pastoral care, welfare and discipline.
Head of Year 7 Mrs Roslyn McConnell
Head of Year 8 Miss Jenny Ball
Head of Year 9 Miss samantha nicholls
Head of Year 10 Mr Anthony Johnstone
Head of Year 11 Mrs Carolyn neylon
Head of sixth Form Mr simon Miller
Deputy Head of secondary Mr Paul McConnell
the school discipline policy is administered in the tutor group system as follows:
red Card
A red card system operates for misdemeanours by students. students may be given a red card for breaches of rules for uniform, littering, jewellery, make-up, behaviour etc. each
red card awarded will result in a lunch-time detention
daiLy rePort
For persistent misdemeanours or more serious concerns a student may be put on a Daily Report by their Key stage Coordinator as a means of monitoring effort or behaviour. this involves a period-by-period monitoring of the student and requires parental feedback on a daily basis.
Parent MeetinG
Parents may also be requested to attend a meeting to discuss in detail any problematic issues and agreed strategies necessary to resolve them.
serious MisConduCt
On occasion students may behave in a manner which warrants an instant referral to the senior teacher

18. HoMeWorK
Homework provides students with the opportunity to consolidate learning which has taken place at school and to extend themselves in their own time. the sooner students develop sound study habits, the better.
Year 7, 8 and 9 students are expected to complete approximately 1½ hours and Years 10 and 11 students 2 hours. IB students should complete homework as
required by the different subject areas. there is never ‘no homework’. students should use any spare time to review work covered and with additional reading
Homework schedules are created by the respective Heads of Year for student in Years 7 to 11 to help students to manage their time.
If homework becomes an area of concern for you, please contact the relevant Head of Year.
19. House systeM
the House system divides the students into Houses for activities and competitions during the year. the tutor group pastoral care system is also based on the Houses. the houses are:
Ayutthaya (Yellow)
Krungthep (green)
sukhothai (Red)
thonburi (Blue)
the points for inter-house events and activities are coordinated by the Round square Assistant (Alumni Intern). Any additions to events or activities which would contribute to the house competition programme, and ultimately the points total, will need to be cleared by this person, in advance, and added to the school calendar, with the appropriate status confirmed.
every member of staff is assigned to a house and is expected to support and mentor the students within that house to organize and participate in events with the correct spirit and sense of adventure. Four members of staff will be asked to volunteer as lead staff mentors for each house at the start of the academic year.
the house trophy will be awarded to the winning house captains in the final assembly of the academic year.

· english may not be the child’s first language
· there may be barriers to learning such as dyslexia, ADHD/ADD, autistic spectrum disorder, etc.
· A child may be gifted or talented
· A child may have social difficulties
some students will require support for a short time and others may require some form of support throughout their school career. Children identified as needing Learning support will be catered for within the constraints of the school’s resources as described in the admissions policy. Miss Jenny Ball is the teacher-in-Charge of Learning support in the secondary school.

Unfortunately they can also be a nuisance and hindrance to life at school. such expensive items can be damaged, lost or stolen. they can also be used as status symbols and instruments of harassment and bullying. they can also be major distractions preventing students from being focused on their learning during the school day.
For students who bring Mobile phones, I-Pads, etc, to school
· students are responsible for their safekeeping. the school takes no responsibility for their possible loss and students are encouraged to use their locker.
· students are not to use phones between 8:15 am and 3:10 pm (or 4:30 pm on activity days). If a student is found using a phone between these times they will have it confiscated and passed on to the relevant Head of Year. the Head of Year will return it at their discretion.

33. round square
the Regent’s school has been a member of the Round square organisation since 2001. the school was formally inducted into Round square at st. Philip’s College in Alice springs, Australia, where the 2001 International Round square Conference was hosted. to be a Round square school the Regent’s, Pattaya Campus, had to demonstrate how the six pillars of Rs are delivered through different areas of educational practice in the school. the six pillars of Round square are called IDeALs:
· Internationalism
· Democracy
· environmental awareness
· Adventure
· Leadership
· service to the community
the IDeALs of Round square are the basis of what should be a vibrant and challenging holistic education. they initially came from the educational philosophy of Kurt Hahn, a german educationalist who taught at the gordonstoun school in scotland. It was at gordonstoun that the idea of Round square was hatched and the name of the organization derived from the building that the first Round square meeting was held in, today now known as the Round square Building. For more information about Round square please go to: www.roundsquare.org
there are now over 100 Round square schools located throughout the world, representing each of the six habitable continents. every Round square school is the same in that they believe in the six IDeALs but at the same time each school can be very different and unique in how they choose to implement the IDeALs in their own community, culture and environment. It is this unity
and diversity that encourages Round square schools to look beyond a basic academic education and enable them to prepare their students for success in an ever more complex and difficult world.
At the Regent’s school we do not hold back! Round square is everywhere and is involved in almost everything we aim to achieve, from early Years all the way up to graduation and the end of the IB Diploma in Year 13. It is found in the boarding programme, induction and inset, performance management the administration and thai staff, and also parents, friends and, of course, the school community. everyone has the opportunity to be involved, learn more about themselves and ultimately to make a difference locally, nationally, or globally.
some of the many Round square programmes, projects and activities that students are expected to participate in
throughout an academic year include:
Round square Week, Baan Maelid Karen Hill tribe Project, Koh Phi Phi sea gypsy Project, World at Lunch, Clean-up the World, Round square sleepover, International Round square Conferences, Campaigning Week, Leadership Week, Democracy Day, green and Healthy Week, eco-committee, Round square Council, student guild, Boarders Council, Barazza groups, International Day, Pattaya to Phi Phi Challenge, Cross Bay swim, World AIDs Day, goldfish Young enterprise, Mechai Patanna school project, Australian exchange, International Award, Jesters Care for Kids, Amnesty International, etc…

34. student dress
rationaLe:
It is important that all students show pride in themselves and in the school at all times. One visible way for them to do this is to wear their uniform correctly and with pride. At the Regent’s school we are fortunate to have wonderful facilities, excellent staff and fantastic students. We want our parents, visitors and community to see this in the way our students dress and conduct themselves when in uniform.
When entering and leaving, or whilst on the premises, all students must be in full correct uniform or in full correct Pe or sports kit. this includes boarding students
before and after school. they are to change out of uniform completely after school.
the Heads of Year will decide if any jewellery or hairstyle is inappropriate. students must abide by their decision. the Pe uniform may only be worn for games, Pe lessons or appropriate after school activities. students may not attend other classes in Pe uniform or sports kit without the permission of their Year Head.
