Parents Handbook

09/10 A Summary of Boarding House Routines Meals Boarders are expected to attend all meals in the house. Students wishing to be absent from breakfast and dinner must obtain permission from the member of staff on duty. Packed, early or late meals can be arranged with 24 hours notice. There are themed meals each month and a birthday cake made to celebrate a student’s’ birthday. Personal Organisation Time This is a set 15 minute period before lights-out time for all boarders in year 7, 8 and 9. Boarders are expected to pack their school bags during this time, tidy up their personal area and shower and clean their teeth before going to bed. Leaving the Premises Students are expected to stay on site during the week unless special arrangements have been made with the duty member of staff. If they leave the premises they must sign out and get authorisation from the member of staff on duty. Students wanting to stay out overnight must have advanced approval from the “host” family and, where appropriate, authorisation from their parents/guardians.
