Weekends

• 0740 morning prayer will also be the morning roll call and so is compulsory for boarders.

Day boys are, of course, encouraged to attend morning prayers. If this is not possible for good reason, they must register at Mr Rudsdale’s study before 0830, after this signing-in with the attendance officer. Your parents should please contact by phone or e-mail if there is either a delay or absence that day. • Every morning before the start of lessons you will be expected to make your bed, put clothes away and ensure that your books are in good order and ready for the school day.

This is regularly checked by either Matron or the House monitor on duty that day. • From 1830 (the start of prep) until 0700 the next morning you must sign out if you are leaving the House. Boys should never be out of the House without permission after

House prayers.

• If in doubt, just ask! There are no silly questions when it comes to getting used to the routines of house life.

Weekends

On Saturday afternoon after morning lessons and a cafeteria lunch you will be involved in sports, either training or representing the school in fixtures.

Saturday evening is the main social time of the week. There are regular social events, cinema trips, quiz nights and similar organised events either within the House or visiting other Houses. The opportunity to host is a key part of social development and is taken seriously in St. Thomas’.
