Rules and discipline at school

The most important thing in the Swedish school is to treat each other equal and not judge by physical appearance, clothes, gender, sexual orientation or religion. Students as well as teachers need to respect the people they meet in school, otherwise you can get suspended. The golden rule is to treat others the way you want them to treat you.

Most of the rules are unwritten rules; with means that they are not laws, but everybody know about them. One example is that students should hand in tasks in time to the teacher.

It is voluntary to begin upper secondary school, called gymnasiet in Sweden. Although when a person is in gymnasiet, the student must be there. It is controlled by attendance; which is reported by the teachers. If a student is absent to many hours, the student’s grant will be taken away.

These are the rules in our school, Aranäsgymnasiet:

• All students and employees should take a great responsibility to create a friendly environment.
• Each student should take a personal responsibility of their own learning.
• Students need to understand that studies in gymnasiet are full-time occupation, and that presence is required.
• Everyone should create a peace, safe, pleasant and harmonic environment.
• To maintain our school, it should be clean from scrawl, damage and rubbish.
