At Small Wonder Public School, discipline is not merely a set of rules — it is the foundation upon which character, respect and responsibility are built. Every student is expected to uphold the values of dignity, honesty and self-discipline that define the culture of SWPS.
We believe in maintaining a learning environment where students feel safe, confident and motivated to grow. Discipline at SWPS is nurtured through guidance, understanding and a positive approach, ensuring that children develop the right habits for life.
A student’s conduct and behaviour form an important part of their overall evaluation. Behavioural grades are recorded in the report card and reflected in the character certificate issued by the school.

- The school uniform must be worn daily, clean, ironed and complete in all respects.

- Hair must be properly groomed (no fancy hairstyles; long hair must be tied in plaits or ponytails).
- Students who arrive late or improperly dressed must bring a written explanation addressed to the Principal.
