Special Attributes
Greensborough College is one of the few schools around the area which has enough students to offer a wide variety of subjects and extra curricular activities, but is still small enough so that the teachers actually know the students well.
Greensborough is also unique in the fact that it has the discipline based 'silent room'. It is the final step of the WSAD (Whole School Approach to Discipline). A student who is acting in a way that the school rules sees unfit is sent to the silent room, which is located close to the front office. They are required to spend the rest of the 50 or 100 minute period inside the room, remaining silent but also completing the work they were originally required to do. The room is in place to allow misbehaving students to calm down and to also remove them from the working environment that they are disrupting.

Famous quotes containing the words special and/or attributes:
“The very best reason parents are so special . . . is because we are the holders of a priceless gift, a gift we received from countless generations we never knew, a gift that only we now possess and only we can give to our children. That unique gift, of course, is the gift of ourselves. Whatever we can do to give that gift, and to help others receive it, is worth the challenge of all our human endeavor.”
—Fred Rogers (20th century)
“The world of the egotist is, inevitably, a narrow world, and the boundaries of self are limited to the close horizon of personality.... But, within this horizon, there is room for many attributes that are excellent....”
—Ellen Glasgow (1873–1945)
