1- (Isaac Habib) Salim Yamin Radwan.
2- Jamil Frank Yamin Haroun.
3- Samir Haroun Hawki Sitt al-Kull.

of the necessity to maintain calm and order.
Accordingly, the administration will take harsher penalties against these students if their violations are repeated in the future.
This is with the knowledge that the student is considered failing in his grade if 50% or more is deducted from his behavior average.
