• Al Manahil Private School aims to provide its students with an excellent education in the medium of English while respecting all nationalities, cultures and religions. Students are encouraged to develop personal responsibility and tolerance of diversity, and both students and staff are encouraged to continue to develop individual skills to a high level.

  Students are expected to:

  • Demonstrate positive attitudes towards learning
  • Demonstrate personal values and respect for the values of others
  • Demonstrate commitment to the community
  • Observe the school rules

   

  The Form Tutor is required to ensure that all their students understand and accept the school rules as written down in their Student handbooks.

  Basic school rules are listed here. It is impossible to list everything. Students are expected to display common sense and courtesy, and to respond positively to the school’s expectations of them.

  The student must:

  • Attend school and lessons regularly and punctually and have correct equipment and books
  • Make a genuine attempt to complete all homework and class assignments punctually to the best of his or her ability
  • Assist the progress of all by listening carefully, following instructions, making positive contributions, and helping where possible

   

  General Appearance

  The student’s appearance, like the student’s behaviour, should contribute to a positive image of the school community. In case of doubt the Principal or his or her Assistant will take the final decision, and inappropriately dressed students may be sent home. This is particularly important and Form Tutors are required to set good dress standards with their form groups and Subject Teachers are required to send inappropriately dressed students to the Principal’s or his or her Assistant’s Office.

  Physical Education (P.E)

  In addition to the Physical Education Kit, a towel should also be brought. Although the P.E Department will provide a box for valuables during P.E, responsibility for the safety of private possessions is ultimately the student’s.

  Prohibited Items

  • Chewing gum is banned at all times on school premises and during routine school activities. Students who are found chewing gum will be asked to dispose of it.
  • Alcohol, drugs and non-prescribed medication, weapons, fireworks and other potentially dangerous items. There is a mandatory fixed term suspension for offenders.
  • Cigarettes and tobacco products, matches and cigarette lighters. Smoking is strictly banned on the school premises. There is a mandatory fixed term suspension for offenders.

  
  Mobile Phones and Walkman Stereos

  Mobile phones are strictly prohibited in the school premises. For teachers these should not be taken to lessons. Personal music systems may not be played at any time during the school day for Health and safety reasons.

  Care of Property

  Students are responsible for their own property, and should not bring valuable items to school. Students should respect the property of others and must take care of their school books and of all school property. Writing on or defacing books, lockers, walls, displays, furniture etc. will be regarded as vandalism and punished accordingly.

  Language

  We recognise the importance of a student’s mother tongue. However, English is the school’s common language and we require students to use English during the normal school day and on all school trips and events. While this policy is flexible to allow for our ESL students, students who persistently refuse to use English will be in breach of school rules. All staff are required to model this policy at all times.
