Code of Conduct
Rules R Rules
Good behaviour and discipline
At AHI, students and staff have a common and individual responsibility to act with common sense, trust and mutual respect within the framework of the community, so that everyone experiences a safe and good school day.
The Code of Conduct must be announced to the students immediately after the summer holidays and the Christmas holidays.
The difference between school and life? In school, you're taught a lesson and then given a test. In life, you're given a test that teaches you a lesson.

Rules are designed for the safety of all children
All children are expected to give their best to the school and support the positive efforts of all its members. Rules are important for the benefit of everyone in any society, and we try to keep these as simple as possible, but we expect them to be kept. They are:
- All students must abide by the rules of the school so that the school can be a nice place to be for everyone.
- All students must arrive on time and go to class as soon as the bell rings. If a student arrives late, the teacher has the right to exclude him / her from the lesson. Students who show up late are given a note to take home, which must be signed by the parents.
- Students must meet well-prepared in school, ie. have the right books, pencil case, etc. with them and have done their homework.
- The school's books must be bound in bookbindings no later than one week after delivery and handed in in good condition after use.
- Torn and lost books need to be replaced.
- Students' cell phones are collected each morning and stored in the office until students have time off. Students in 7th to 9th class must keep their phones provided they are switched off during lessons and do not interupt. Lit mobile phones will be collected and can be picked up by the parents.
- Chewing gum must not be used at school.
- Students must not bring sharp or pointy objects that could harm others. Such items will be collected and can be picked up by the parents.
- For the same reason, glass bottles must not be brought to school.
- Bicycles, scooters, skateboards and the like must not be used in the schoolyard.
- Fighting, violent or threatening behavior is strictly prohibited and will result in expulsion from school.
- All waste is disposed of in waste bins and never on the floor or in the yard.
- Any form of destruction and vandalism of the school building, fixtures and fittings must be replaced.
- All students are expected to behave nicely, speak nicely and show respect to all school staff.
- After the last lesson, students must go home or be picked up.
Sanctions
If the Head of School finds that a pedagogical reprimand is not a sufficient reaction towards a pupil who has disregarded the school's rules of general order and contact, sanctions may be imposed.
Only the head of the school or his / her deputy can sanction students who do not comply with the school’s rules of order. In particularly serious cases, students can be reported to the police, expelled or sent home immediately after the parents have been informed – students can be sent home for up to a week. Sanctions may otherwise consist of reprimand, warnings, repatriation or expulsion. The head of the school or his / her deputy assesses in each individual case what is an appropriate sanction based on an overall assessment of the character of the episode and the student’s situation.
Tell me and I'll forget; show me and I may remember; involve me and I'll understand.
