Restorative Justice. Very much a part of our approach to bullying and to discipline in general is the restorative justice model for managing student behavior. Restorative justice is an approach to justice that focuses on the needs of the victims and the offenders, as well as the involved community, instead of satisfying abstract legal principles or punishing the offender. Victims take an active role in the process, while offenders are encouraged to take responsibility for their actions. In addition, it provides help for the offender in order to avoid future offenses. Research shows that restorative justice that fosters dialogue between victim and offender shows the highest rates of victim satisfaction and offender accountability. Restorative Justice is an approach that has been adopted by many schools in many countries and is an approach that is endorsed by the local social services here in South Africa as a method for the better management of student behavior. One of the responsibilities of the AISCT School Council is to assist and advise the Head of School and the board in relation to the creation and implementation of policy and the management of the school. The School Council consists of both elected and selected members, who are generally parents of students at the school. School fees, which consist of tuition fees and a capital fee, are payable before a student commences classes. School fees are payable in advance for the entire school year. Parents may request a semester payment plan. A full one term’s notice is required for any subsequent school fees refund. Students who withdraw during the course of a semester are not entitled to any refund of that semester. No payment period smaller than a semester will be approved except in extraordinary cases. In addition to tuition fees, a capital fee must be paid for each student in K1-Grade 12. While tuition fees provide for the school’s operating budget (teacher salaries, books, and materials), the capital fee is the basis for the capital budget of the school, which finances the lease of the property, the maintenance of our campus, and the annual rental, renovation, and maintenance of the school buildings. The capital fee is paid if the student attends for any part of the school year and paid for the first four years of attendance at AISCT. The capital fee is non-refundable. Special requests regarding the payment of school fees, including requests for financial aid or concessions, must be made in writing to the Head of School w...

Restorative Justice. While consociationalism addresses political reconciliation through an institutional framework, society must also find ways to move on from political violence and come to trust one another as I argue in chapter 2. Anger, created by violence, erodes trust and can lead to retributive acts by citizens. Citizens’ retribution is an attempt for justice where the perpetrator is punished for the crimes they have committed. In a new state created by violence, retribution is aimed at those political actors who used violence for political aims. Retribution can be conducted through violence, imprisonment, economic punishments or other types of sanctions. The problem with retributive justice is that it involves a form of punishment that, rather than promoting trust, can escalate hostilities between groups. If the punishment is violence, such as executions or other physical harm, this can create a cycle of violence where groups respond to each other’s violence 155 Ibid., 228 with more violence. Each group believes the other group deserves to be punished for previous acts of violence, thus creating a retributive cycle with escalating acts of violence.156 ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ explains that this cycle of violence can be broken by forgiveness and reconciliation. By forgiveness, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ means a process that is not itself conditions of violence. Whereas retribution responds in kind with violence, forgiveness marks an unanticipated response, “freeing from its consequences both the one who forgives and the one who is forgiven.”157 As such, it serves as a new act, contrary to the very anticipated response of violence with violence.158 To create a unified democratic society, the state must institutionalize justice according to forgiveness and reconciliation that restrain acts of retribution where the populace feels that justice is absent.159 Social relations must be restored through institutions for democracy to continue. Otherwise conflicts between groups will endure preventing groups from cooperating in a democratic framework. A transitional and restorative justice that restores relationships while also providing justice for victims of political violence is necessary to create a democratic society and prevent acts of retribution. Transitional justice is the act of giving justice for victims of political crimes when the state is to attempting reestablish a peaceful society.160 Various groups during political transition have opposing interests. The outgoing regime and its supporters want ...

Restorative Justice. Restorative justice is a non-adversarial, non-retribu- tive approach to justice that emphasizes healing in victims, meaningful accountability of offenders, and the involvement of citizens in creating healthier, safer communities. Crime is a violation of people and rela- tionships. Restorative justice works to repair the dam- age and promote healing and growth caused by crime by providing tools to find more peaceful and collabo- rative ways of resolving conflicts in our society. It strives to offer support and opportunities for volun- tary participation and communication between those affected - victims, offenders, and community - to encourage accountability, reparation, and movement towards understanding, feelings of satisfaction, heal- ing and closure.

Restorative Justice. An approach to justice that aims to identify the cause of harm, making restitution for the harm and taking measures to ensure that it does not recur (DOJCD 2022). By encouraging the individuals who caused harm to take responsibility for their offending and by empowering the victim to voice their thoughts about the impact of offending, restorative justice aims to restore the harm caused and rebuild the relationship between all the parties concerned.

It includes a variety of physical and physiological features, including chromosomes, gene expression, hormone levels and function, and reproductive anatomy. Sex is usually categorised as female or male but there is variation in the biological attributes that comprise sex and how those attributes are expressed (CHIR 2014). Although often used interchangeably with gender, these two have very different meanings.
