SCHOOL MOTTO

‘Gateway to the World’


IB LEARNER PROFILE The aim of all IB programmes is to develop internationally minded people who, recognizing their common humanity and shared guardianship of the planet, help to create a better and more peaceful world. IB learners strive to be:

• Inquirers We nurture our curiosity, developing skills for inquiry and research. We know how to learn independently and with others. We learn with enthusiasm and sustain our love of learning throughout life.

• Knowledgeable We develop and use conceptual understanding, exploring knowledge across a range of disciplines. We engage with issues and ideas that have local and global significance.

• Thinkers We use critical and creative thinking skills to analyse and take responsible action on complex problems. We exercise initiative in making reasoned, ethical decisions.

• Communicators We express ourselves confidently and creatively in more than one language and in many ways. We collaborate effectively, listening carefully to the perspectives of other individuals and groups.

• Principled We act with integrity and honesty, with a strong sense of fairness and justice, and with respect for the dignity and rights of people everywhere. We take responsibility for our actions and their consequences.

• Open-minded We critically appreciate our own cultures and personal histories, as well as the values and traditions of others. We seek and evaluate a range of points of view, and we are willing to grow from the experience.

• Caring We show empathy, compassion and respect. We have a commitment to service, and we act to make a positive difference in the lives of others and in the world around us.

• Risk-takers We approach uncertainty with forethought and determination; we work independently and cooperatively to explore new ideas and innovative strategies. We are resourceful and resilient in the face of challenges and change.

• Balanced We understand the importance of balancing different aspects of our lives—intellectual, physical, (spiritual) and emotional—to achieve well-being for ourselves and others. We recognize our interdependence with other people and with the world in which we live.

• Reflective We thoughtfully consider the world and our own ideas and experience. We work to understand our strengths and weaknesses in order to support our learning and personal development.


ORIGINS AND BACKGROUND

Sekolah Global Jaya was established in July 1995, starting with pre-school up to Year 4 with an initial total of about 90 students. The aim of the school was to provide a different educational opportunity for Indonesian students to prepare them to be actively contributing global citizens. This forward-looking vision was the idea of Bapak Ciputra who, at that time, was the President Director of PT Pembangunan Jaya as well as the Chairman of the Board of Commissioners of the Jaya Group.

To support its vision, Sekolah Global Jaya employed both Indonesian and expatriate educational leaders and teachers. Bahasa Indonesia and English were used in daily communication and learning. While the national curriculum remained as the reference for its teaching scope, Sekolah Global Jaya made use of internationally practiced teaching methods and resources. Over time, the school developed its own curriculum.

In 1999, Sekolah Global Jaya was accepted as a candidate school of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) - an accrediting commission based in the USA – and obtained full accreditation in July 2001. In 2007, 2013 and again in 2018, the school successfully underwent re-accreditation.

The introduction of the International Baccalaureate Programmes (Primary Years Programme and Middle Years Programme) in March 2003 further internationalised the school curriculum. During the 2004-2005 school year, Sekolah Global Jaya was authorised by the International Baccalaureate Organization as an IB World School (PYP and MYP).

In February 2006 Sekolah Global Jaya was authorised by the IBO to use the IB Diploma Programme. As a result, students who attend Sekolah Global Jaya follow a consistent programme from K – 12 consisting of the PYP, MYP and DP before exiting the school.

In June 2009 Sekolah Global Jaya was officially recognised by the Indonesian Department of Education (DEPDIKNAS) as a nationally registered school with international standards. As a result, the school name was changed to Global International Jaya School.

In 2014, the Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture implemented a new law forbidding the inclusion of the word ‘international’ in school names. Therefore, according to the regulation and a deadline of the 1st December 2014, we are now called Global Jaya School. The name change had no effect on our curriculum or any of the programmes offered at GJS; however, it now requires that all students of Indonesian nationality take the Ujian Nasional (UNAS) in Year 9 and Year 12. The Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture has recently instituted a program which designates GJS as an SPK school (Satuan Pendidikan Kerjasama – Joint Operation School). As a result, GJS will be working together with a local sister school of relatively equal size and status to improve teaching practices and learner outcomes.

The value of international accreditation and authorization Accreditation and authorization necessitates that Global Jaya School operates at an approved

standard accepted by the international education community. Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) WASC is an accrediting commission for schools and is based in the U.S.A. It is one of six regional accrediting commissions in the U.S.A. and accredits schools in California, Hawaii and East Asia. WASC accreditation is given to schools that meet high standards of educational practice. This is recognised by universities and colleges across the U.S.A. Global Jaya School provide all graduating students with a school certificate that incorporates the WASC logo, thereby assisting universities in the USA to easily identify the standard of education the student has received.


International Baccalaureate Organisation (IBO) The International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO) is a non-profit educational foundation based in Geneva, Switzerland offering the Diploma Programme for students aged 16 to 18 in the final two years of school, the Middle Years Programme for students in the 11 to 16 age range, and the Primary Years Programme for students aged 3 to 12 years. The IBO has authorized over 4500 schools in 149 countries to teach these programmes. In addition, the organisation provides teacher-training, electronic networking and other educational services to these schools.

CURRICULUM

Our curriculum seeks to achieve the outcomes described by our vision, mission and the IB Learner Profile. CURRICULUM BY SCHOOL SECTION

Primary Years Programme (PYP) The Primary Years Programme (PYP), for students aged 3-12 (Kindergarten to Year 6), focuses on the development of the whole child. The programme endeavours to develop the individual talents of the young people and to teach them to relate the experiences of the classroom to the realities of the world outside. Strong emphasis is placed on the ideas of international understanding and responsible citizenship. IB students are equipped to critical and compassionate thinkers, lifelong learners and informed participants in local and world affairs, conscious of the shared humanity that binds all people together while respecting the variety of cultures and attitudes that makes for the richness of life. The PYP serves as an excellent introduction to the Middle Years Programme (MYP). Middle Years Programme (MYP) The Middle Years Programme (MYP) provides a framework of academic challenge and life skills for

students aged 11 to 16 years (Year 7 to Year 10). The MYP is a course of study designed to meet the educational needs of adolescents. The MYP aims to help students develop the knowledge, attributes and skills they need to participate in an ever-changing world. It equips students to be truly global citizens. The MYP provides a framework within which we are free to create our own curriculum. The MYP framework emphases the development of intercultural awareness, communication skills and an understanding of the relevance of learning for all students. Senior School In Years 11 and 12, students undertake the IB Diploma Programme. Students are asked to make subject selections for the Diploma Programme during Year 10, following a comprehensive programme of personality and academic profiling conducted by Student Support Services.


IB Diploma Programme The International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme is a demanding two year, pre-university course of study, culminating in externally-assessed examinations. It is designed for highly motivated, well organised students aged 16 to 19. In particular, the IB Diploma aims to:

▪ prepare students for tertiary studies ▪ provide students with a balanced education ▪ foster critical thinking skills ▪ encourage cultural understanding and respect ▪ develop international awareness and broaden perspectives.

To be eligible to attain the IB Diploma students have to study six subjects, three subjects at standard level and three subjects at higher level, and satisfactorily complete the requirements of the Extended Essay, Theory of Knowledge (TOK) and Creativity Activity and Service (CAS). Please see the DP Course Guide, shared via ManageBac and available on the GJS Website, or contact the Diploma Programme Coordinator (Pak Ram) for more details.

SPECIAL ELEMENTS OF THE CURRICULUM

Some elements of the curriculum deserve special mention here, as they have been uniquely

developed for Global Jaya School. TEACHING ORGANIZATION AND TEACHING STAFF

Secondary school classes are organized by subject. The subject teacher is responsible for the respective subject taught. An Advisory teacher is responsible for maintaining communication among Secondary students, teachers, Principals and parents (please see “Advisory”). In addition, there is a Head of Year for each year level. Heads of Year are the liaison between teachers and parents for a particular year level. (Please see “Head of Year”). Teaching staff is comprised of expatriate teachers and Indonesian teachers, both of whom are

subject teachers. The library is under the supervision of teacher librarians.

ADVISORY

Each student is assigned to an Advisory class, which meets from 7:30-7:40 every morning and for 30 minutes on Friday afternoons. It is an opportunity for students to receive direction about school matters, prepare for their day, and receive guidance from their Advisors. In Years 11 & 12, Advisory is used for matters related to CAS and Extended Essay. The Advisor is one of the points of contact for parents/caregivers in matters concerning their child. HEAD OF YEAR

The Head of Year is the liaison between teachers and parents for matters of student welfare. They work closely with students, Advisors, teachers, principals, and school counsellors. Parents who have any concerns about matters such as homework, uniform, attendance, etc. should contact the Head of Year.


LANGUAGE POLICY

Rationale: A dual language learning environment empowers our students to achieve the highest levels of literacy possible. The Primary School is designated as dual language; the Secondary school has designated English as the language of instruction. Exceptions are Bahasa Indonesia, Religion and Modern Foreign Languages. Students are further enriched through the development of other languages such as Mandarin, Korean and Spanish which include the studying of cultures and literature. For more details, please consult the Language Policy, available in its entirety on the GJS website. RELIGION

Global Jaya School is a non-denominational school which caters for the development of the religious life of all its students through religion classes, according to their faith of individual students and in compliance with the requirements set forth by DEPDIKNAS. Agama (Religion) classes are conducted for the five major religions in Indonesia: Islam, Christianity, Catholicism, Hinduism and Buddhism. Every Friday, students attend a service according to their faith. Accommodations for faiths not represented in our program should be discussed with the Principal. In line with the school vision, the school observes major religious events of the five religions listed above, and whenever possible holds celebrations that involve the whole school community. LIBRARY/RESOURCE CENTRE

The Library/Resource Centre has been developed to support the programmes of inquiry and

resource-based learning in the school. The ever-growing collection (currently numbering just over 33,000 catalogued items) is carefully cross-referenced to facilitate the inquiry process and to foster personal reading for pleasure. While classes are scheduled for specific skills lessons which take place in the library, students are also encouraged to use the library independently for research and leisure reading. The Library is also fully Wi-Fi equipped with twenty public access terminals for the Destiny/Online

Public Access Catalogue (OPAC). Designated areas are being set up for iPads which will allow

students access to all library resources. We encourage parents to visit the Library/Resource Centre and use the facilities, whether it is simply to find a quiet place to read a book, magazine or newspaper or to borrow resources to support their children at home. ASSEMBLY

Secondary assemblies are held, on average, once a month. The aims of these student-centred assemblies are to build self-esteem and confidence, for students to see other students’ work, to appreciate and value individual effort and achievement, to highlight the IB Learner Profile, international mindedness, and to build school spirit.


At these assemblies, the students are audience, performers, presenters and organisers. As an audience, the students learn audience skills such as listening quietly to performances and appropriate ways to show appreciation. As performers, the students present their learning through song, dance, drama, individual presentations and group performances.

Approximately once per term, Secondary School Leadership organizes assemblies during which

students are kept apprised of school events, policies, and any other pertinent announcements.

Student awards and recognition also take place during Leadership assemblies. Parents are encouraged to attend assemblies, usually held in the theatre.

ASSESSMENT AND REPORTING

There are three types of assessment of students’ work used in the Secondary school:

▪ Diagnostic assessment. This is used to identify the student’s specific skills and knowledge; to identify particular learning needs. This is generally conducted at the beginning of a unit of work. Diagnostic testing may also take place as part of the enrollment procedure and to determine placement for Maths and Languages.

▪ Formative Assessment. This is an on-going process to monitor student progress. ▪ Summative Assessment. This is conducted at the end of a particular task, unit of work or

assessment period. It assesses the student’s achievement against a set of criteria provided to the students at the start of the unit. Grades and feedback can be seen on ManageBac. In the Diploma Programme, summative assessment may also be conducted by an external

assessing authority. AUTOMATIC PROGRESSION

Students do not automatically progress to the next year level at the end of each academic year. Each year level in the Secondary School has its own set of criteria for determining whether or not a student is eligible for automatic progression. The progression policy is not designed to determine failure; instead, it is used to inform principals, parents, students and staff whether or not the student is prepared for the more rigorous challenges of the next year level. For progression in the MYP:

Year 7 18 or higher combined score in the 5 core subjects (English, Individuals and Societies, Indonesian, Mathematics, and Science) with no grade lower than a 3 in any subject, including non-core subjects.

Successful engagement with all Service as Action requirements. Absences do not exceed 19.


Successful engagement with all Service as Action requirements. Absences do not exceed 19.



Successful engagement with all Service as Action requirements.

Absences do not exceed 19.

At the end of Term 1, and Term 3, students who are struggling to meet the criteria listed above will be identified and their parents contacted for a meeting with the Head of Year and Middle School Principal. We do so, hoping that the students identified as being at risk will take the opportunity to engage in a more serious approach to their studies and avoid the possibility that they will be required, due to a lack of academic progress, to repeat the same year level if they wish to continue at GJS. Progression into and within the Diploma Programme Year 10 In order to progress to DP Courses: 21 or higher combined score in the 5 core subjects (English, Individuals and Societies, Indonesian, Mathematics, and Science) with no grade lower than a 3 in any subject, including non-core subjects.

A score of 4 or higher on the Personal Project.

Completion of all Service as Action requirements.


In order to progress to the full DP: 24 or higher combined score in the 5 core subjects (English, Individuals and Societies, Indonesian, Mathematics, and Science) with no grade lower than a 3 in any subject, including non-core subjects. In addition, a score of 5 or higher is required in any subject the student wants to take as an HL subject.

A score of 4 or higher on the Personal Project.

Completion of all Service as Action requirements.


Notes for Progression to Year 11 Students who score between 21 and 23 points, but meet all other requirements for progression, will be given the opportunity to progress to Year 11 as IB Courses students, or as IB Diploma Programme students under contract. These contracts are reviewed a minimum of once per semester and are designed to provide an opportunity for improvement to students whose academic history indicates they are not yet ready for the rigors of the full IB Diploma Programme. Every contract is unique and catered to serve the individual education needs of the student.


IB Courses means students study IB subjects but do not complete the entire IB Core (TOK, Extended Essay, CAS), although some elements of both CAS and TOK are still required. Opting for IB Courses rather than the IB Diploma Programme can impact university admissions, so many of our IB Courses students choose to complete one or more elements of the IB Core. It is important to note GJS recognizes the importance of TOK in fostering critical thinking skills across the IB curriculum, so all students are required to take TOK in Year 11. Students who score below 21 points may be given the option to either repeat Year 10 at Global Jaya School, or to pursue further educational opportunities elsewhere. Year 11 Students enrolled in the IB Diploma Programme must achieve a minimum score of 24 in order to progress to Year 12. IB Courses students must achieve a minimum average of 3.5 points in order to progress to Year 12. Students who do not meet these minimum requirements will be advised on an individual basis in the development of an education plan best suited to their needs. Possible outcomes could include being placed on contract, transition from the IB Diploma Programme to IB Courses, specific subject level changes, repetition of Year 11, or the recommendation to pursue further educational opportunities elsewhere.

Global Jaya School - Graduation Requirements In addition to the IB Diploma, a Global Jaya Graduation Certificate will be granted to GJS students who have met the conditions listed below. These conditions are determined by the school and are not contingent on any externally assessed examinations. These conditions are in no way connected to the requirements of the IB Diploma, nor are they an indicator of obtainment of certificates or diplomas from the International Baccalaureate Organization.

GJS Graduation Certificate CONDITIONS FOR ALL YEAR 12 STUDENTS: 1) Achieve a minimum average score of ‘3.5’ points in a minimum of 4 IB Diploma subjects

throughout the 2-year programme. 2) Satisfactory completion of requirements for:

a) Creativity, Activity and Service (CAS) b) Theory of Knowledge c) Extended Essay (IB Diploma Programme students only) d) Consistent lesson attendance throughout the two-year programme, keeping under the

maximum of 19 total absences. GJS Graduation Certificate with Honors In addition to the minimum requirements listed above, Global Jaya Students graduate with honors if:

1. CONDITIONS FOR FULL DP STUDENTS: Achieve an average score of 4 points or above in 6 IB Diploma subjects throughout the 2-year programme, with no score lower than 3 on any Year 12 report.

2. CONDITIONS FOR DP COURSES STUDENTS: Achieve an average score of 5 points or above in 4 or more IB Diploma subjects throughout the 2-year programme.


CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

EXCURSIONS AND TOURS

While we value the learning that takes place in our classrooms, we also recognize and appreciate the value of experiential learning. Using the community as a teaching resource enables children to gain a greater understanding of the world in which they live. These out-of-school visits comprise half and full day excursions, as well as extended overnight tours. Tours include curriculum elements which are not adequately covered by excursions. It is expected that, through these excursions and tours, students will be able to:

• build relationships among peers and between staff, • learn to work effectively as a team, • develop an appreciation of other cultures, • develop independent skills in a setting outside the student’s normal home environment, • acquire deeper understanding and knowledge of the real world.

THE HOUSE SYSTEM

The House system divides all students and teachers into three Houses. The expectation for events involving parents is that they will join the same House as their child. Each House will have a Boys’ and Girls’ Captain and Vice Captain. The rationale behind this system is to develop:

• collaboration among students, • leadership and mentors, • individual potential, • a sense of esprit-de-corps.

Participation in a wide variety of events by all students is encouraged and promoted by the awarding of points. This is not just for sporting competitions, but other curricular and non curricular events throughout the year. Categories for which points may be awarded are competition, creativity, conduct and academics. The Houses are: Elang - Green Garuda - Red Rajawali - Blue AFTER SCHOOL ACTIVITIES PROGRAMME

ACTIVITIES

The purpose of After School Activities at Global Jaya School is to support students’ special interests while giving them opportunities to refine their chosen skills. Participation in After School Activities for Secondary students is optional. Some of the activities available include: various sports, painting, science club, choir, cooking, film making, and others.


REGISTRATION

At the beginning of each semester, a booklet that lists all the After School activities will be produced. Included in it is a form to be filled in by students, indicating the activities in which they want to enroll. This system will help the school to arrange students according to their interests and to give information about the aim, time and venues of all activities. Once a child selects an After School activity, they are not permitted to change it until the next semester. Activities led by Global Jaya School teachers are free of charge, while those conducted by outside providers are charged according to the price quoted. Payment can be made through the school cashier. All payments must be made before the activity commences. Students will not be permitted to participate unless payment has been made.

STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES (SSS)

The Student Support team, which consists of 4 counsellors and 1 Learning Diversity specialist, offers support services for students, staff and parents. The counsellors are able to assist students with personal problems, as well as with subject and career guidance. They can also provide information about outside services that can give assistance if personal problems arise. The Learning Diversity specialist will help students with individual learning needs. In addition, Heads of Year and Principals advise students and parents/caregivers on any school issue

that may concern them. In general, the Student Support Services has the following responsibilities

• to provide counselling support for students • to arrange/organise university and career centre visits • to act as a university information resource centre • to facilitate goal setting and individual career plans • to provide career pathway advice • to promote education exhibits and fairs • to provide study skills and exam preparation programmes • to provide learning support for students • to provide harassment and bullying prevention programmes • to provide puberty change and relationship education – Year 7-Year 9 • to provide a drug prevention programme • to provide referrals to outside agencies, when necessary.

COMMUNITY LIAISON

The Community Liaison Manager is a senior Leadership position in the school. One of his/her roles is maintaining and promoting communication between the school and parents, as well as the school and outside parties. When parents feel unsure about whom to contact at school regarding school matters, the Community Liaison Manager is the person who should be contacted. Please refer to Appendix A for school contacts.


SCHOOL RULES

Moved to Appendix F: Code of Conduct PUBLIC DISPLAY OF AFFECTION

The school campus is a learning environment and also one in which we acknowledge established

cultural norms. As such, it is unacceptable for students or faculty members to show public displays

of affection such as hugging and kissing. The same expectations hold true whenever students are

wearing their school uniform outside of the school. SCHOOL DAYS AND SCHOOL HOURS

The school day for Secondary School students begins at 7:30 and finishes at 14:50. To ensure students are ready to start lessons at 7:30, they should plan their travel to school so that they arrive by 7:15. Students have access to their personal lockers from 7:20 each morning to enable them to prepare for the first lesson of the day which starts at 7:30. Attendance is tracked for all classes, including Advisory. After School activities are from 15:00 until 16:00. Certain paid After School activities run until 16.30.

LATE STUDENTS

Time management is an important life skill. Arriving at school and lessons on time is part of the

expectations which will help students to develop this skill and to take responsibility for their actions.

The school understands that sometimes there are legitimate reasons for students not arriving on

time. This is why students are allowed three instances of lateness before any consequences are

incurred. All teachers must ensure that students have enough time to pack up and leave on time at

the end of each lesson, so that they will be on time for the next lesson.


Students who are late to class If a student is more than 5 minutes late and there is no good reason: 1st time : Verbal warning from teacher. Record kept. 2nd time : Teacher records that the student is late to class. The student is warned that next

: time will result in a detention. 3rd time : The student is not allowed in the classroom. They must report to a Secondary

: Secretary and collect a detention slip which will be signed by a Principal. The : teacher will only admit the student back into the class room if a detention slip is : produced.

Parents will be notified via SMS whenever their child arrives late to school. Students who arrive prior to after 7:30 am, but before 7:40 am must report directly to their Advisory classroom. Students who arrive later than 7.40 am must report to one of the Secondary School Office. Students who arrive late to school (not in Advisory before the 7:30 bell) will have their lateness marked by the Advisory teacher, reported to the Head of Year and tracked by the Secondary Office. Students who are late more than three times per semester will serve one break time detention for every day they are late. Students who exceed 10 instances of lateness will receive one after school detention every time they are late. Skipping Class Students who deliberately choose to avoid attending a class without permission from the teacher, Principal or counselor will be considered to have skipped the class and it will be recorded as an absence. Absences in excess of the maximum number allowed can result in the student losing credit for the class in the MYP and in the Diploma Program the student may be withdrawn from the course with no credit awarded. Avoiding the prayer or non-prayer meeting time on Friday is also considered skipping and appropriate consequences will be applied. ABSENCE FROM PHYSICAL EDUCATION LESSONS

If, for any reason, a student cannot take part in a Physical Education lesson, parents must notify the administrative assistants in the Secondary Office prior to start of the school day. If this happens often, parents will be called to discuss the matter. LEAVING SCHOOL DURING THE DAY

During school hours, no students are allowed to exit the school grounds without permission from the Secondary Office. Permission will be given only after receiving a direct visit by parents/caregivers, calls, letters or notification from parents explaining the time and reasons for having to leave school. An excuse of “family matter” will require more detail. Students who need to leave school during the day must present a note from parents to the Secondary School Secretary at the start of the day. This is recorded by the school and students are issued with a permission/verification slip which needs to be signed by the Advisory Teacher and a Principal.


The exception to this will apply to Year 12 students who have no programmed instruction time during either the first or last lesson of the day. If parents have signed a permission slip, such students may either arrive later than the normal time for other students or leave earlier than the official end of the school day. SECONDARY ATTENDANCE POLICY (Appendix D)

In line with our mission and vision, our educational programmes are structured in such a way that students will exit the school as global citizens who are critical thinkers, problem solvers, effective communicators, collaborative workers and self-directed learners. Curriculum material is delivered sequentially throughout the entire school year. Therefore, regular attendance is required throughout the year to enable students to obtain the most benefit from their educational experience. It is an expectation that students maintain a 100% attendance record. A record of their days absent will be kept and printed on the end of semester report. If a student does not maintain a satisfactory attendance record, then the Leadership team reserves the right to withhold that student from progression to the next year level. Such a decision will be made after consultation with the parents of the student, but the final decision is the sole responsibility of the Principal. After an absence A written explanation or doctor’s clearance is required if a student is absent from school for longer than 2 days. This is important, especially if the student has been diagnosed with an infectious illness e.g. Dengue Fever, Measles, Chicken Pox, H1N1 etc., then they must provide a written explanation/clearance from their doctor in order to return. Permission to be absent If parents are aware that their child will be absent from school, then a letter of explanation must be provided to a Principal. The Principals will give permission for this absence at their own discretion. The absences are still recorded, but the Principal’s decision will be taken into account if an excessive number of absences brings progression into question. Students in Years 7 -12 are expected to attend all classes throughout the academic year. Regular absenteeism results in disruptions to learning and not only affects the student involved but also their peers, the teacher and administrators. Please refer to appendix ‘D’. DETENTIONS AND SUSPENSION

Students who do not meet the expectations of the GJS Code of Conduct, including the individual classroom expectations of their teachers may be subject to detention. The Secondary School has two variants of detention, those assigned by the Secondary Office and those assigned by teachers. Office Assigned Detentions Office Assigned Detentions are given due to excessive lateness. Please see the explanation above for more information. Teacher Assigned Detentions Teachers are encouraged to supervise personal detentions for minor issues such as non completion of homework or assignments. These detentions may be at lunchtime or after school.


Additionally, some violations of the Code of Conduct, such as bullying, striking another student or academic misconduct, will result in suspension. There are three variants of suspension: Internal Suspension Internal suspension requires that the student attend school, but must remain near the Principal’s office throughout the day. This allows them to meet the Principal and/or counselors to further discuss the issue which resulted in the suspension. suspension is reserved for more serious violation or in cases of repeated offenses. This requires that the student remain out of school for a determined period of time, depending on the offense. Certain conditions may be required for the student’s return, such as evidence of having met with a therapist, psychologist or psychologist. Exclusion Exclusion is reserved for very serious violations and approval from the Head of School is required to enact this consequence. It requires that the student remain out of school for an extended or indefinite period of time. The student is not expelled and may continue work from home, communicating with teachers and monitoring assignments through ManageBac. HOMEWORK / STUDY

Homework is a revision of knowledge and the practice of skills which are learnt in the classroom. There are two types of homework.

1. Set homework: day-to–day revision or unfinished class work 2. Study homework: this is student instigated work and includes revision of in-class activities or

preparation for assessment. This type of homework is completed whether a teacher sets it or not.

Assignments: In-class assignments are not regarded as homework, but are additional pieces of work that should be completed in class time. If a student has not completed this in class time, the student will add this to their allocated homework time. SUBMISSION OF ASSIGNMENTS

Work is expected to be submitted by students on or before the assigned due date. Submitting work after legitimate or extended absences If students are absent, they should communicate with the teacher about handing in assessments. Students have no more than one week from the due date (or return of the student if he/she is out for a lengthy amount of time) to complete the work not handed in. However, a parent note and/or a doctor’s note which clearly states the reason for the absence needs to be provided to the teacher. If students do not submit the work after this extension, then evidence from the continuum of learning will be assessed. See “Grading incomplete, missing or late work” below. Submitting work due during overnight school trips If students are involved in a planned overnight school trip, they should plan to complete the work accordingly. The student should either plan on completing and submitting work prior to departing for the trip, or the student must directly talk to their class teacher to ask for an appropriate


extension based on the duration of the trip and the work that was done in class. School trips are not a reason to not complete work. Grading incomplete, missing or late work The grading of missing or late work is based on two things: The continuum of learning – the body of work the student created and previously submitted during the unit, and the “Accepting late work” procedure. If a student does not hand in the final summative assessment, they will be graded on the work they did during the learning continuum. This may include formative assessments in addition to any other work submitted during the continuum; however, it is likely that short submissions and incomplete work will be self-limiting in their ability to meet the requirements of marking criteria at the highest levels. No evidence or inappropriate evidence If students submit work with no evidence against one of the strands of a criterion, they will be awarded a zero for this strand alone; the best-fit approach between the remaining strands must be adjusted to account for this lack of evidence. Where students submit evidence that is irrelevant or inappropriate to the prescribed summative assessment task and therefore does not meet the requirements of the lowest level descriptor(s), they must be awarded zero for the appropriate strand(s).

SERVICE AS ACTION (SA) and Creativity, Activity and Service (CAS)

In order to meet the requirements of the IBO, all students in the MYP must complete Service as Action and all DP students must fulfill Creativity, Activity, and Service requirements. For more information, please see the relevant guides, shared via ManageBac or contact the SA Coordinator (Ibu Ocha) or the CAS Coordinator (Ibu Widy). UNIFORM AND DRESS CODE

Rationale At Global Jaya School, we believe that the school uniform helps create a sense of belonging to the school community. Students have a responsibility to demonstrate their commitment to the school community by following the uniform and dress code. The uniform seeks to present a smart, disciplin ed image inviting respect of others within the school and wider community. Aims

▪ to have a clearly identifiable Global Jaya School school uniform ▪ to have a uniform that reflects current school values and practical needs ▪ to have a uniform that develops pride in and a sense of belonging and commitment the

school community ▪ to have a practical, good quality uniform that is economical ▪ to have a Uniform and Dress Code that is straightforward and with which it is easy to

comply.

▪ To educate and prepare the students to fulfil their role as members of a civil society. While in uniform, either in accordance with the policy or in violation of it, you are representing the school and the high standards to which we all aspire. Please respect your friends, the school, your


teachers and parents and most of all yourself by respecting the uniform and its function by wearing it properly.

IMPLEMENTATION:

• The school uniform must be worn at all times during school days. Exceptions may include

special occasions such as some excursions, assemblies, uniform free day, etc.

• The uniform is to be worn as a whole, according to its design and should not be

supplemented by non-uniform items. Exceptions may include special interest items (pins,

bracelets or ribbons, etc.) for special occasions, items promoting student council candidates

during school elections, etc.

• Students must always be clean, neat and properly dressed. Exceptions to proper dress may

include clothes that accommodate medical conditions such as a cast or an injury to the foot

which prevents the student from wearing proper footwear.

• Clothing items worn under the shirt should be modest in color. Color choice should not

result in the item being excessively obvious. If a student wears an undershirt beneath their

uniform, it is to be all white with no print or picture. The school PE shirt may also be worn.

• The bottom hem of both the skirt and the skort must reach the top of the knee when the

student is standing. At the discretion of the student, the bottom hem may be longer, but

should not extend below the ankle.

• Trousers must be worn by boys. Girls may choose to wear trousers at their own discretion.

The bottom hem of the trouser leg should touch the ankle at its minimum length, but not

extend below the top of the shoe at its maximum. It is recommended that boys in Year 7 and

Year 10 hem the bottom of their pants in such a way as to allow the hem to be lowered as

they grow taller. Pants that are damaged or stained must be repaired or replaced.

• If a student wears an undershirt beneath their uniform, it is to be all white with no print or

picture. The school PE shirt may also be worn.

• Shirts are designed to be worn outside of the pants/skirt, but they may be worn tucked in at

the discretion of the wearer.

• Official school sweaters/cardigans and hoodies for colder temperatures are available in the

school shop. Only these sweaters/cardigans and hoodies are to be worn at school.

Exceptions may include special occasions when clothing is issued by Sports, Arts, etc. may be

worn, but these are not to be worn on a regular basis.

• Students must change into their school physical education (PE) uniform before their PE

lesson. This uniform shall only be worn during PE lessons. Students should change back into

their normal school uniform after their PE lesson unless PE is the last lesson of the day.

• Students who engage in vigorous sports at break times or after school activities such as

basketball and soccer must wear their white T-shirt with no print, not their school uniform

shirt. The school shirt must be worn again before leaving the field or court unless the

student is moving directly to the toilet or changing room in the gym to clean up. Students

should not enter the classrooms unless they are properly wearing the complete uniform.


School and PE uniforms (or the material) may be purchased from the shop in the administration

section of the school, packaged together with clear illustrations and uniform guidelines.

• Due to safety concerns, it is important that students wear shoes designed to cover the entire

foot. Open-toed shoes and sandals are prohibited.

• Students are not to tread on the back of the shoes or wear them in any way similar to a

sandal.

• All shoes must be black with no other colour on them. If branded shoes are purchased, the

logo must be removed or coloured black. Exceptions to the colour rule may include shoes

required for PE or participation in an authorised team or club. Sports shoes for use in the

gymnasium should have non-marking soles.

• If shoes are decorated with an accessory such as a buckle or bow, it must be appropriate in

size and colour and not excessive in its appearance.

• All-black sport shoes, walking shoes and dress shoes with no heel or short heels are

considered the most appropriate for movement around the school campus. High heeled

shoes are not allowed. Exceptions may be for special performances or formal function such

as graduation.

• Hair is to be neatly maintained and be a natural colour.

• Hair should be cut or pinned back so that it does not cover the student’s face. Boys should

not have hair that is longer than the bottom of their shirt collar when they are looking

straight forward.

assemblies or medical considerations.

• No obvious make-up, including lipstick, nail polish, accessories or jewellery is to be worn.

Exceptions may include modest wristwatches, simple earrings (for girls) and

bracelets/pendants for medical purposes. Subtle, clear or pastel colored nail polish may be

acceptable.

• Earrings must be removed for sport and physical education lessons.

• Nose rings or studs, pendant earrings, bangle earrings and earrings worn by boys are

prohibited when wearing the school uniform. Exceptions may include special performances

and assemblies, World Culture Day, etc.

Wearing the uniform properly, as stated in this policy, also applies to events that take place outside of the school at that require students to wear the school uniform. A simple rule to follow is: If you are in uniform, regardless of where you are, you must wear the uniform properly. Wearing the uniform improperly or wearing only part of the uniform is a violation of the policy.

SAFETY OF STUDENTS

In order to ensure that a large community of students and staff can be safe and productive, it is necessary to establish specific procedures and rules about the use of certain areas at school as well as the types of activities students can undertake. Please see Student Code of Conduct in Appendix F Please see the PoSSSE Policy on the GJS website Please see the Child Protection Policy on the GJS website

MEALS

Students may bring their own meals and drinks to school. If a meal needs to be delivered to a student, it must be left with the security personnel in charge and students can collect it during break times. Security will not deliver the food to students. Deliveries of commercial food are not permitted. Please do not arrange deliveries of meals from

commercial outlets.

Free filtered drinking water is provided at various sites around the school. In addition, cold drinks and fresh juice are offered in various locations around the school. CANTEEN

All Secondary students are required to register a canteen account. The minimum deposit is Rp. 50,000. The remaining balance will be shown on the monitor at every transaction. In order to help protect the environment, no paper receipt is available; however, a record of items purchased or individual student accounts will be available to parents on request. Please contact our school Canteen Coordinator (Ibu Elzie) if you wish to arrange this.

Students will be reminded by the canteen staff when their balance is getting low. Primary school parents must deposit as soon as possible, because when the negative balance is greater than Rp. 50,000 the students will not be able to purchase any items. For Secondary school students, the canteen service will stop once there is a zero balance.

Students, or others on behalf of them, may top up the credit at the canteen office in the Administration Building by presenting their ID card. Please keep the receipt for your records. Student ID cards only keep a record of the student’s name and ID number, not how much has been deposited or how much is left in the account. Method of Payment Cashless System

There are no cash transactions at the canteen register. Secondary students use Electronic Point of Sale (EPOS) to pay for their meals. They need to show their student ID card when during the transaction in the canteen. The use of an ID Card is to reduce service time. Their balance will be shown at every transaction.


Hours of Operation The canteen registers serve food and drinks from 7am-3pm, Monday-Friday, however, from 2.00-3.00 only the Café Corner, which serves only drinks and snacks, will be open. The canteen office is open from 7am-3.15pm, Monday-Friday. ACCIDENT OR SICKNESS

Students who become ill or incur minor injuries at school will be cared for by the school nurse in the first aid room (UKS). Students are referred by a note from their Class or Advisory Teacher. After treatment, students will generally be sent back to class or sent home with parental permission. Students in need of attention should report to their subject teacher and then to the school nurse. For more serious illnesses or injuries, parents will be contacted immediately so appropriate treatment can be arranged. The nearest hospital has a 24-hour emergency service as an available option. All related medical expenses will be incurred by the parents. The school is covered by a personal accident insurance programme. Any cost incurred due to an accident that happens during school activities will be treated according to the insurance policy. For cases where a student needs to have his/her medicine at school, the parent is required to advise the school nurse. Students will then be asked to visit the first aid room at a suitable time to receive their medication. LIBRARY BORROWING

To develop students’ sense of responsibility, they are expected to take good care of borrowed items and to return them at the appointed time. A cost for replacement will be charged for lost or damaged items. Semester reports will not be issued if students have outstanding library books overdue. STARTER PACK

At the beginning of each school year, students are issued with a “starter pack” of stationery. The stationery provided will cover all subjects and will include items such as workbooks, folder, pens, pencils and a ruler. Once the starter pack has been issued, students will not be supplied with items of stationery via the school. When they use up items (e.g. student note books) or lose items, they will be expected to purchase their own replacements. Please note that correction fluid is not permitted. LOCKERS

At the beginning of the school year, each student will be allocated a locker and lock. They will be responsible to maintain their locker and to report any repairs needed. Any damage should be immediately reported to their Advisor. Lockers should not be left unlocked at any time.


COMMUNICATION

Education is a group effort between the student, school, and parents/caregivers and we encourage consistent and positive communication between all parties involved. In order for this communication to be most effective, every situation has an optimal line of communication to follow. The first line of communication should always be between the student and teacher. If further communication is required, please follow the lines of communication below: For academic matters: Student→Teacher→Head of Department→Programme Coordinator (MYP/DP)→Principal For matters of behavior: Student→Teacher→Advisor→Head of Year→Principal For social/emotional matters: Student→Advisor→SSS Kontak (school newsletter), will be available monthly on our school website (www.globaljaya.com). GRIEVANCE POLICY

In order to promote a positive and constructive working environment, it is essential for conflicts, concerns, complaints to be managed and resolved in a productive and positive way. We want the complaints parents/students make to be resolved in ways that result in satisfaction for all parties. We are committed to making every effort to maintain positive and constructive relationships between members of the school community, but we cannot act if we do not know there is a problem. Open and honest communication, patience and empathy are all key elements in maintaining and sustaining the types of relationships that will nurture our community.

Parents are required to contact the Advisory Teacher directly for specific issues regarding their own child. Matters requiring broader attention can be brought to the respective Head of Year who may then inform the Principal. Contacts can be made through, letters, telephone calls, emails or direct visits (with prior notice and confirmation). Parents may also contact the community liaison manager to seek a proper channel to voice concerns or compliments. Students are encouraged to speak directly to the person bothering them, or seek assistance from friends/teachers/counsellors/parents. Students may also raise issues during their class meeting or Advisory.

USING THE SCHOOL’S COMPUTING NETWORK

URINE DRUG SCREENING PROGRAMME

This programme has been in operation at Global Jaya School since December 1999. The programme is designed to both preserve the welfare of the majority of students and to recognise the laws of Indonesia. The programme also ensures that problems can be detected early and students with problems can be helped. Any student in Secondary may be subject to a urine test for drugs at any time in this programme. No student is exempt. Approximately 40 Secondary students are randomly selected, on an average, once per semester, to undergo a urine drug test. The students selected must report to the designated supervisor or Principal before the end of the day of the testing, to undergo the test. A notice will be sent home to parents asking them if the student is taking any medication that may affect the results. This is to be returned the next day. A refusal will be considered to be the same as a positive test.

If the test is positive the following actions will be taken: 1. A conference will be held with the parent or guardian of the student. 2. The student and his/her family will be urged to seek professional assistance and will be given

the names and addresses of approved counsellors. 3. The Indonesian authorities will be notified. 4. The student may be suspended for two weeks and must attend six compulsory counselling

sessions with an approved counsellor, at least two of which must be completed before the student returns to school.

5. When the student returns to school, they will be placed on a regular testing programme. 6. Two positive drug tests will result in a student’s expulsion from Global Jaya School.

Any student who has received a positive urine test, or for whom there is other strong suspicion of

drug use, will be placed on a regular testing programme. Students voluntarily seeking aid or information concerning drug use are encouraged to contact the

student counsellors, who will assist in giving the student information or help. Requests of this nature

are kept confidential. The possession and or sale of drugs (including alcohol and tobacco) will be treated with the utmost

seriousness and illegal activity may result in Police Action.


STUDENT PROPERTY AND “LOST AND FOUND”

Students are responsible for their own property. It is strongly recommended that names are put on clothing, meal boxes, school bags, etc. Items of value which are brought to school should be secured in a student’s personal locker. Students are discouraged from bringing large amounts of cash to school.

Lost or missing Items The school has a number of security procedures in place to help protect students and their belongings; however, GJS will not be responsible for lost items. Missing items should be reported to the teacher and Secondary Office immediately so that we can begin help search. In some cases, we will review security video. Items left unattended will be confiscated by staff and delivered to the Secondary Office. Parent permission is required before most items are returned. Due to limited space lost property cannot be held indefinitely. Periodically the secretaries, under the direction of a Principal, will organize that all unclaimed lost property be donated to an appropriate agency such as a local orphanage.

Search and Confiscation The school reserves the right to search lockers, bags, etc. if there is reasonable suspicion that that the search will reveal evidence that the student has violated or is violating the law or school rules. School officials may conduct a search without reasonable suspicion or probable cause if the student voluntarily consents to the search.

In some cases, students may be asked to empty their pockets, for instance before or during an exam when it is necessary to confirm the student is not in possession of a phone.

If a student refuses to allow a search, parents will be notified and the student, along with the item to be searched, will be sequestered in the Principal’s office pending their arrival. HAND PHONES

During class time, students may only use mobile phones with the teacher’s permission for the purpose of lesson related activities such as searching the internet, recording of homework, etc. Students who use their phones without permission or who run unapproved apps in the background may have their phone confiscated. Students are not permitted to use hand phones to photograph or video any other student or teacher without that persons’ knowledge or consent. Students who violate this trust will lose the privilege of having a hand phone at school and may be suspended or expelled.


STUDENT PARTICIPATION IN EXTERNAL COMPETITIONS REPRESENTING THE SCHOOL

We encourage our students to represent GJS in the greater Jakarta community and beyond. The following conditions apply: ▪ the teacher in charge will coordinate the whole process unless participation is student

initiated, in which case approval by a Principal is required to use the school’s name; ▪ students whose academic performance or behavior do not meet expectations may not be

allowed to participate as a representative of the school; ▪ any prizes or trophies, etc. won in the competition will be the property of the school. If the

prize is in a form of money, this will be shared between the School’s Student Council and the student(s) equally. The Student Council has the responsibility to decide upon a charity to which the money will be allocated.

BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS

While we acknowledge student birthdays, Secondary students may not celebrate birthdays during Advisory, class time, or transition periods. Student birthdays should not in any way disrupt the learning process. GIFT POLICY

While we understand the wishes of parents to show their appreciation and gratitude to their children’s teachers, The Jaya Company, of which this school is a part, has a policy that states an employee must not accept gifts over a certain value. If you require clarification on this topic, please contact the Head of School. The school does not encourage the giving of gifts to teachers. CONTACTING YOUR CHILD DURING THE SCHOOL DAY

If you must contact your child during the school day, please do so during break or lunchtime. Please do not call or contact your child during class time. In case of emergency, please contact the Secondary Office. VISITORS

Visitors can only use common areas (canteen, lobby, library, etc.) unless specifically invited by a member of staff to meet in another area. For security purposes, all guests, including alumni, parents, and PTA members, must report to the security desk, fill in the visitor’s book and wear the appropriate badge at all times. Upon exiting the school, guests must return visitor’s badges to security personnel. MAIDS AND DRIVERS

As part of the process to help students to be more independent and self-sufficient, domestic staff members, drivers, nannies, etc. are not allowed to remain on school grounds other than parking areas. They can use the toilet facilities in the parking area. Maids and drivers are permitted beyond the drop-off area (please see map) only with a badge, and only to complete business such as payment of fees or collection of a sick child from the clinic (UKS).


Drivers should be reminded that the parking lot is included in the no smoking zone. SECURITY

The school is secured 24-hours by a team of “satpam” (satuan pengamanan). We have also established contacts with the nearest police stations, foreign embassies and neighbouring schools to share information in the event of broader emergency situations. In the event of any unrest or irregular situations, parents will be notified as soon as possible,

following the school’s emergency contingency plans. For this purpose, please notify the admissions staff immediately when your phone numbers change. CAR STICKERS

For security purposes, all vehicles must display a valid school sticker on the windscreen to enter school grounds. Stickers are available from the receptionist at the beginning of the school year and provided to each family based on the number of registered vehicles. In order to obtain the stickers, the Car Registration Number Document (STNK) must be presented. Vehicles without a sticker will have to report to the satpam post, provide identification and sign the visitors’ book. ENTRANCE POINTS

Arrival in the morning. GATE #1: Theatre Car Park Entrance. This gate should only be used by Secondary students. If they have a sibling in Primary School, they

should use Gate#2. Drop Off will be in front of the THEATRE. Students can move through the theatre

foyer to the side exit which will lead them to the walkways around the Primary play equipment.

Cars using this entrance will exit through the same gate through which they entered : GATE #1. There will be no access to the Primary Drop Off Area from the Theatre Drop Off.

It is preferred that Primary students do not use GATE #1 since the Drop Off Area is not

regulated in the same way as the Primary Drop Off Area at Gate #2.

GATE #2: Primary Entrance. This Gate should be used by all Primary students and those Secondary students who have

Primary School siblings. Secondary students who do not have a sibling in Primary should not

use this drop off point.

Pick up for Primary and Secondary students occurs at the same gate they used in the morning. Car engines have to be switched off when parked in the school area. Cars should not be washed on the school grounds. Because it is considered a part of the school grounds, the parking area is a non-smoking area.


TRANSPORT

GJS does not provide transportation for students to and from school. Transportation is provided for certain events, such as sporting events held at other schools and for excursions. STUDENT DRIVERS

Students may drive cars or motor bikes to school, provided they have obtained a ‘GJS Driver’s License and they obey all traffic safety laws and guidelines. In order to obtain their GJS Driver’s License they must satisfy all of the following conditions. They must:

▪ have a legal driver’s license ▪ be 17 years or older ▪ have permission from their parents and the Senior Secondary Principal.

Unsafe driving behavior on the way to and from school or on the school grounds may result in loss of their GJS Driver’s License and the right to enter or exit the school grounds while driving. Issuance of the GJS Driver’s License does not indicate any liability on the part of the school for damage or accidents caused by student drivers. STUDENT RESIGNATION PROCEDURE

If a student plans to resign from the school, the following steps need to be taken:

▪ The parent needs to write a letter addressed to the Principal stating that the student will resign from the school.

ORGANISATIONS

YAYASAN PENDIDIKAN JAYA

Yayasan Pendidikan Jaya was founded by PT Pembangunan Jaya. The aim of the foundation was to execute the company’s mission in supporting education development in Indonesia. The Foundation has six institutions: Global Jaya School (Bintaro), Sekolah Pembangunan Jaya (Bintaro), SMA Pembangunan Jaya (Bintaro), TK Pembangunan Jaya (Bintaro), Sekolah Pembangunan Jaya (Sidoarjo) and Universitas Pembangunan Jaya (Bintaro).

SCHOOL GOVERNANCE

Global Jaya School is governed by Yayasan Pendidikan Jaya (YPJ) which includes a maximum of three members and two ex-officio members. YPJ is responsible for the overall governance, legalities, budgets, and the official hiring and removal of staff. Global Jaya has established a School Board that oversees school operations more directly. The School Board includes members from the Yayasan, the Head of School, Business Manager, Community Liaison and selected parents. STUDENT COUNCIL

The Student Council is a student government body with two representatives from each year level. The council meets regularly, under the guidance of support teachers and the Principals, to plan school activities. The members are recruited by the existing Captains and Vice Captains based on interviews and recommendations early in Term 1 and they serve for 12 months. One male and one female student are also selected from among the Year 11 students to serve as Vice Captains until they become Captains in Year 12. PARENT TEACHER ASSOCIATION (PTA)

The PTA is a partnership organisation between parents and the school. All parents and teachers are automatically members. The PTA is run by a committee that is annually elected by the members. The main objective of the PTA is to facilitate communication and collaboration between parents and the school in activities and matters that support the school’s vision and mission. The PTA’s programmes include

▪ Special Events. This supports school events, such as sports carnivals, religious celebrations

and special programmes such as Book Week and Family Fun Day. ▪ Social and Community Welfare. This programme helps needy people in the vicinity of the

school. It has an educational focus, such as a scholarship programme, school building repairs, book donations, etc.

▪ School Committee Representatives. Parents from the PTA Executive Committee are invited by school management to join various committees set up by the school to handle special issues or projects such as curriculum, school uniform, canteen, sports, After School Activities and the school year book.

▪ PTA Club. This programme provides activities that cater for its members’ interests such as choir, seminars, book club and trips.

Please see Appendix E for more detail about the Year Level Representative programme.


SCHOOL BOARD

The School Board is a partnership forum where all the school’s stakeholders are represented, i.e. Yayasan Pendidikan Jaya (the legal owner of the school), the school leadership and parents. Through its periodic meetings, the School Board provides consultative assistance to the school and Yayasan on matters of macro policies and long term strategies, such as the school direction, budget and fees, curriculum and building plans. Members of the School Board are elected every two years.

APPENDIX B - SCHOOL MAP


APPENDIX C - ATTENDANCE POLICY

Rationale:

Students have a responsibility to themselves to attend school and to learn the subject material

presented. However, at Global Jaya School, we believe that learning is not an individual pursuit. In

school, students are part of a wider community of learners, who all must work together toexcel in

various subject areas. Learning is both individual and communal. Teachers prepare lessons, and

students take part in class discussions, group activities and partner work, as well as individual work.

Therefore, when a student is absent from class, it not only affects their learning, but as they are not

able to contribute to the community of learners. Student absences not only impact the student who

misses school, but the entire learning community.

For all of the above reasons, GJS will no longer distinguish between approved and unapproved

absences for the purpose of course credit. Any student who exceeds 19 absences in any individual

class will be subject to the following:

MYP Students: Students risks not receiving credit for the class in question, which may require the

student to repeat the year level or leave the school community. If the student is allowed to continue

to the next year level, course selection may be limited based on the gaps in knowledge caused by

the absences.

DP Students: Due to IBO requirements for minimum instruction hours, students who exceed 19

absences in any individual course will be immediately removed from that course. Removal from any

individual course makes rewarding of the IB Diploma impossible, but students enrolled in at least

four courses (excluding TOK) may still earn a Global Jaya School Graduation Certificate as an IB

Courses Candidate.

NOTE: All matters related to attendance and credit will be determined by the appropriate

Programme Coordinator, Secondary Principals, Head of Year, and Head of School.

While we do not distinguish between types of absences for determination of credit, parents must

still contact the school to let us know when your child will be absent and the reason why. To avoid

confusion with previous versions of this policy, please understand that the reason for an absence

might receive approval, but that does not mean that the absence does. Time away from lessons has

an impact on student learning regardless of the reason the student is away. Procedures: If a student's absence is unplanned, the student must speak with each of his/her teachers on the day

that he/she returns to school to collect any make up notes and homework. Any tests missed on the

day of absence must be made up and any homework or project work due on the day of absence

must be made up/submitted on the day that the student returns to school. If the absence is

unapproved or it is determined the student was skipping, then the test cannot be made up and any

assignments the student failed to submit on that day will be considered late submissions.


If a student is absent for medical reasons, a medical certificate must be presented to the Secondary

School Office on the day that the student returns to school.

If a student arrives late to class, the teacher will mark the student late on the register and note the

time on attendance system.


APPENDIX D – A SAFE AND SUPPORTIVE SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT

Global Jaya School seeks to be a place of acceptance, affirmation and justice. We believe that

certain actions are contrary to this aim and strike at the very basis of this goal. Such actions prevent

students and other members of the school community from reaching for excellence in all dimensions

of life. Everyone is entitled to live their life free from humiliation, oppression and abuse. These

actions affect many, not just the targeted person and the offender. They affect those who witness

such actions and can drastically alter the atmosphere of many aspects of the school climate.

Actions which do not promote a safe and supportive environment may lead to increased levels of

stress, anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, loneliness, social alienation, poor school attendance,

poor health and low academic achievement, among other problems.

Students need to bear in mind that “everyone has the right to feel safe all the time” and “nothing is

so awful that you can’t tell someone”. For more detailed information, please refer to the school document “A Policy for a Safe and

Supportive School Environment” (PoSSSE) http://www.globaljaya.com/Files/POSSE.pdf

http://www.globaljaya.com/Files/POSSE.pdf


APPENDIX E – YEAR LEVEL REPRESENTATIVES

Year Level Representatives are elected each for each year level in both the Middle School and the Secondary School. Year Level Reps help in the communication and coordination between Principals, PTA Committee and the Community Liaison Manager. Year Level Reps should bear in mind and remind other parents that

▪ teachers are the authority of the class, ▪ parents can offer help and give suggestions/input, but decisions are to be taken by teachers, ▪ in providing help, parents should consider the educational values and benefits for students,

such as: collaboration, conservation, sensitivity to others & the environment, humility, participation and the learning process,

▪ parents’ help must be voluntary.

The Year Level Rep also has a responsibility to run the Class Phone Tree in the event that speedy contact with parents is required. Activation of the Phone Tree has to be authorized by the Head of School. Please note that the phone numbers of students and parents are strictly confidential and to be used for school-related purposes only. Class parents are responsible for keeping the Class Phone List confidential.


APPENDIX F - Student Code of Conduct

General Expectations for Student Behavior The school emphasizes the need for students to develop self-discipline, while understanding students will develop these skills at varying rates as they mature. We have welfare and discipline guidelines and a student behaviour management programme designed to ensure students understand and work toward this goal. Parents/Caregivers and teachers are central adults in the implementation of this. Education and training are keys to student success in fulfilling post-school goals. The school focuses on supporting students’ personal learning and vocational needs. We aim to improve pathways that link the school with further education and work. Students learn best when they are willing participants in their education. We encourage and promote responsibility, commitment, respect and self-discipline. Students show commitment to achieving their best by:

▪ actively participating in all lessons, ▪ being organised and safely equipped, ▪ planning time and tasks effectively.

Students show respect, responsibility and self-discipline by:

▪ attending all classes, assemblies and events in a timely manner, ▪ ensuring the Secondary School Office is informed of absences prior to the start of the school

day, ▪ completing work by due dates, including complete works by “draft” deadlines, ▪ ensuring all submitted work is entirely their own, or otherwise properly cited, ▪ respecting the rights of students to learn and teachers to teach, ▪ interacting positively with the school community and acting as role models for others, ▪ caring for the school’s facilities and resources, ▪ following the school policies, especially with regard to the uniform policy and PoSSSE.

At Global Jaya School (GJS), we believe all students can learn when provided with appropriate instruction in a positive, safe, and supportive school environment. Creating such an educational setting requires a comprehensive program of instruction, written and consistently enforced standards of student behavior, and the cooperative efforts of students, parents/guardians, school staff and the community. At GJS, the student code of conduct is based on the following beliefs:

▪ Discipline is a natural element of educational and personal development. ▪ The “Code of Conduct” should lead to a clear understanding of behavioral expectations and

consequences for unacceptable behavior. ▪ Consequences should be viewed as a means of encouraging good behavior and not merely a

reaction to inappropriate behavior. ▪ Consequences should involve consideration of individual circumstances as well as the rights

and welfare of the entire school population.

An efficient, fair, manageable and enforceable Code of Conduct should be familiar to the school community, but should never take a lead role in the positive learning environment of the school. It should balance the rights of the students with the need for order and safety. It should focus on positive enforcement of mature, respectful and honorable behavior. When a student violates the Code of Conduct, consequences should be natural and emphasize learning opportunities, rather than punitive measures.


The Code of Conduct is based on the following tenets:

▪ Mutual respect, common sense and courtesy are the foundations of the relationship between student and teacher.

▪ Every student at GJS has the right to a quality education. ▪ Every teacher has the right and responsibility to teach, and every student has the right and

the responsibility to learn. ▪ No teacher, student, or other staff member has the right to interfere with the learning

process. ▪ Each teacher will have classroom rules to ensure the best possible educational environment.

Given all of the above, we understand students will still make mistakes. Our goal is to balance appropriate consequences with learning experiences. What follows is a guide for what can be expected when students do not meet the expectations of the Code of Conduct. Minor Offenses:

Handled by Classroom Teacher Referred to Head of Year

1. Violation of Classroom Rules 2. Inappropriate Language 3. Disrespectful behavior or language

directed toward another student 4. Unapproved or inappropriate use of

mobile phone or other device

1. Repeated unapproved or inappropriate use of mobile phone or other device

2. Dress code violations 3. Lateness 4. Canteen disruptions 5. Entering unauthorized areas 6. Inappropriate behavior in hallways or

other common areas

Consequences: To be determined by the individual teacher on a case-by-case basis. The classroom is under the direct supervision of the teacher. As such, each teacher will have a clear and consistent classroom management system in line with the Code of Conduct.

Consequences: To be determined by the Head of Year in accordance with the Code of Conduct and Head of Year role description. In some cases, these violations will be referred directly to the Principal.

Major Offenses: All major offenses will be reported directly to the appropriate school Principal and Head of Year. • Plagiarism, • Failure to report to assigned class, detention, assembly, meeting, etc., • Destruction of property or vandalism, • Disrespect of GJS staff, including failure to follow clear and reasonable requests, • Excessive disruptive behavior (habitual defiance, willful disobedience, interfering with the

learning process), • Blatant disobedience (abusive, belligerent behavior), • Intimidation or bullying, including cyber bullying, • Sexual harassment, • Major violations of the ICT Policy, • Fighting, • Smoking.


Consequences for Major Offenses: To be determined by the Secondary Leadership Team. Below is a general guideline of what students and parents can expect for major offenses or repeated minor offenses. These are subject to change based on individual circumstances. A first offense, if deemed serious enough, could result in exclusion or expulsion.

• First Offense – In-School Suspension (1-2 days) and a letter to the parent from the Principal.

Counseling could be recommended. • Second Offense - Out-of-School Suspension (1-5 days) and parent conference with Principal

with detailed information given on the consequences of exclusion/expulsion. Counseling sessions with SSS will be mandated.

• Third Offense – Exclusion/Expulsion - the Head of School will be involved in all cases involving expulsion.

Immediate Exclusion/Expulsion Offenses:

These offenses are extremely serious and will not be tolerated at GJS. Parents will be notified immediately, and the student will receive the appropriate consequence as judiciously and quickly as possible. The Head of School will be involved in all cases involving offenses of this nature. Examples of these offenses include, but are not limited to:

• Drugs/Illegal Substances, • Explosives (to include bomb threats), • Weapons, • Arson, • Any acts of extreme violence, • Extraordinary cases of social media misbehavior, including bullying, harassment and

violation of criminal statutes.

Student Appeals Process

GJS Secondary students are expected to be responsible for their own learning. Part of that responsibility is resolving disagreements in a mature and positive manner. When disagreements arise between students and faculty, students should resolve matters themselves by speaking to the teacher directly. If this is not possible, the student should approach his or her Advisory Teacher who will then inform the Head of Year. If this fails to resolve the problem, then counselors and Principals will be notified and they will determine the next course of action.

If a student wishes to appeal a punitive decision from a Principal, they must follow the appeal process detailed in the Academic Integrity Policy.
