School Code of Conduct
Although school rules target specific areas of behavior, our Code of Conduct defines a wider, more general ethical standard based on our core philosophy.
Lotus Valley International School inculcates, and expects, an attitude of integrity from its students. It is part of our philosophy that all individuals in our community are treated with respect. Students should adopt and maintain a caring and helpful attitude, showing due respect for everyone. Every Lotus Valley student should be an asset to the school, a source of pride for their family and a person who earns, and gives, respect in all dealings with others.

- Anything which could cause injury to self or others should not be brought to the school.

Exercise books and text books should not be defaced, and students should have class materials ready at the appointed time. Classrooms should be tidied at the end of each day.
- Any queues should be orderly. In the interest of safety, there should be no rough horseplay, rowdy behavior or abusive language used.

- All absence from school must be attested with a parental letter, in advance if possible, or retrospective if need be. Failure to do this will result in an entry of 'absence without leave' from the school and a requirement to explain this absence to the Principal.
- You may bring your lunch to the school or purchase a snack from school cafeteria. If you bring food, it should not be oily, spicy or unhealthy. Items which produce crumbs or cause untidiness should be avoided. Guidance will be given to parents on food and nutrition, if requested.

- Grievous or repeated infringement of school rules will lead to parental discussions, and escalation of such behavior may result in a period of exclusion from the school.
- It is compulsory for all children to converse in English as the school stresses on students' competence to speak confidently and fluently in English. A student must speak in decent language all the time. He / She must ensure that his speech is courteous and polite. No student should participate in any kind of rumor spreading and should refrain from speaking ill about others.
