Subject: Student Disciplinary Action
The Disciplinary Committee met under the chairmanship of the School Principal and decided the following:
First - Imposing a temporary expulsion penalty for a period of two weeks on the student (Younis Khader) Eliyahu Zakaria from the
Third Intermediate class, starting from the morning of Sunday, 28 / 4 / 1957. The
Committee also decided to deduct fifteen points from his conduct average due to his misconduct in Mr.
Hazem's class under various circumstances and on numerous occasions. However, considering that his deprivation from attending
school would cause harm to his academic achievement, it was decided to suspend the execution of the first part of the penalty
and settle for deducting fifteen points from his conduct average, provided that the expulsion penalty is executed upon the first violation
committed by the student in the future.
Second - The Committee also decided to impose a warning penalty against the student Albert Eliyahu Tarhin from the
First Intermediate class (A) for performing acts disruptive to order in various classes despite being warned
repeatedly about the necessity of maintaining quiet and order inside the classroom.
Note that a student is considered to have failed his class if 51% or more is deducted from his conduct grades.

Subject / Punishment of Students
Due to the actions of students Edwin Saleh Elisha, Younis Khader Eliyahu Zakaria, and Ismat Muhammad Ali al-Rubaie from the second
intermediate class in committing disruptive acts inside and outside the classroom, such as brawling inside the school, the Discipline Committee met under the chairmanship of the Administration
and decided to impose a temporary expulsion penalty for a period of three days with the deduction of twenty marks from the conduct average of each of the students Edwin
Saleh Elisha and Younis Khader Eliyahu Zakaria, starting from the morning of Sunday, 30 / 10 / 1955. It was also decided to impose a penalty of
warning with the deduction of five marks from the conduct average of the student Ismat Muhammad Ali al-Rubaie in accordance with Article (53) and Article
(⟦54⟧) of the Secondary Schools Regulations of the year 1952. Consideration was given to mitigating the penalty of student Ismat Muhammad Ali al-Rubaie
due to his good conduct in the past and the absence of any violations by him in previous years. A more severe penalty will be imposed
against these students if they perform any other act that disrupts the school system.
Note that a student is considered to have failed his grade if (50%) or more is deducted from his conduct marks.
