Boarding Handbook

5. Recreation

A student should develop a positive way of life through his own self motivation, goal setting and self discipline. 5.1 Students take their recreation in their own House.

Permission from the person on duty is always required to be anywhere else.

5.2 Evening Recreation is taken from after school until 5.45pm on weeknights. A modified program exists on weekends. 5.3 Use of electronic devices is to be appropriate and meet classification guidelines. The staff in their discretion may deem certain programs or games unacceptable. 5.4 During the warmer months, the pool may be opened on a Saturday and Sunday afternoon for student use. Students may only use the pool when appropriate supervision is provided by Boarding Staff. 5.5 There should be silence with all boys in their own room after 9.00pm for MS students and 9.15pm for SS students.. 5.6 An early morning run, or gym session is permitted to those senior students who have the Director of Residence’s permission. Sport training may also be specifically organised at that time of day through the Director of Sport. 5.7 Students do not attend social functions mid-week. The only exception which might be made to this rule is when Year 11 and 12 boys may attend official College balls, or College arranged events if they occur during the week. 5.8 Skateboards and scooters may not be used after dark. Helmets must be worn at all times when skateboarding and using scooters. Students who involve themselves in dangerous antics will lose this privilege. 5.9 Bikes are not to be used after dark. Bicycles are not to be ridden on the College drive between the access pavement to the bus stop and the front entrance in Mt Henry Road. Cyclists are to enter and leave Mt Henry Road via the access to the bus stop or via the Redmond Street entrance. All bike riders are required to wear protective head-gear, properly fastened at all times when riding. The College takes no responsibility for bicycles, or for damage sustained to bicycles which have been lent or borrowed - either with or without permission. Bike sheds are provided for each house with bike locks to be supplied by students. 5.10 No one has permission to swim in the river, nor to use any water craft without adult supervision.
