The policy of Ecumenical Christian College to create, promote, and maintain a respectful, safe, secure, stimulating, and supportive learning environment in order to optimize students learning, safety, and effectiveness. 

Ecumenical Christian College upholds discipline as a very essential element of an educative teaching-learning program and therefore, considers maintenance of god discipline among students as a necessary precondition in establishing a school climate that is conductive to learning.

The school also recognizes that discipline begins at home with parents who are the first and primary educators for their children. such formation inlcudes responsibility for social development, behavior and discipline. Hence, partnership by the school with parents in the support of the students' social, emotional, and academic growth is very much part of the school's program.

The Child Protection Committee supports the school's use of a continuum of positive practices that strives to teach, promote, and reinforce productive behaviours while providing predictable and support consequences to behaviors that are identified as inappropriate. 

The Committee also supports that school's existing progressive approach to discipline which is incorporated in its Code of Discipline, activities and projects that promote interpersonal and social skills, and programs that enhance and build healthy relationships. 

Finally, the Committee strongly supports the Department of Education's objective of promoting a zero-tolerance policy for any act of child abuse, exploitation, violence, discrimination, bullying, and other forms of peer abuse.
