Our Ethics

Ethics are well founded standards that make actions right and wrong. It helps categorize different values such as integrity, discipline, honesty etc and how we apply them in our daily lives.

At Fairview School, ethics are applicable to both the teachers and the pupils. As a school, we imbibe the six characteristics of ethical teaching which include: appreciation for moral deliberation, integrity, knowledge, reasoning, discipline and interpersonal skills.

Snack Time & Lunch

Each day the children have a fun time together around the table at snack or lunch times. These times teach patience, manners, independence, language development and nutrition.

Snack Time: 10:00am to 10:30am

Break Time: 10:30am to 11:00

Lunch Time: 12:00pm to 12:30pm

Children are encouraged to drink water throughout the day.

School Uniform

The School uniform is a blue T/shirt and grey trouser for the boys and blue T/shirt, grey skirt and a black panty hose for the girls and a set of sportswear. Children are expected to come to school in their school uniform from Mondays-Thursdays, and their sportswear on Fridays.

Parents Participation

We believe that parents are their child’s first and most enduring educators. Parental involvement for both mums and dads, is encouraged throughout life at Primary and opportunities are planned for parents to be included in activities such as presentations, reading and listening to stories or participating in artwork sessions. We ask that arrangement be made in advance with the teacher so plans can be made to utilize parent availability.

Safety and Security

Our goal is to help each child feel secure in a nurturing environment as an extension of the security of the home and family. Safety policies and procedures govern all areas ranging from collection of children, maintenance of fixtures and equipment to general safety around the school.

After School Care

We provide After School Care for working and busy mothers. After School Care runs from 2:00pm to 5:00pm everyday, at a cost to parents. Children sleep for an hour after school and then are engaged in stimulating, creative and constructive play while learning along.

Open Door Policy

We operate an open door policy where teachers and the head teacher are available to parents to discuss quick issues affecting their children and school. Matters requiring more time with staff can be scheduled at the reception for the earliest available time.

Our Discipline

Our discipline is age appropriate. It often takes the form of a gentle reminder or redirection. Choices are
offered encouraging children to make appropriate decisions and to take responsibility for their actions. Time-outs are used for limited time periods. We encourage a joint effort between the family and school if the above form of discipline is not working.
