Hereafter the procedure is as follows:

  • If your absenteeism continues you will be sceduled for another interview.
  • If your absenteeism continues still, you will receive a written caution. If you are less than 18 years old one of your parents or your guardian will have to sign it. If you are more than 18 years old you must sign it yourself.
  • If your absenteeism continues further still, the school can decide one or several sanctions (see Rule violation)

If you don’t observe the Study and School Rules, the school can decide on sanctions against you. The sanctions will always depend on a specific assessment.

  • The School Regulations and Code of Conduct apply also on study trips and excursions
  • You can not drink any alcohol on a study trip or excursion, unless permission has been given by the teachers
  • You can not consume or be intoxicated by any kind of euphoriant

 

And therefore
