Marymount London Boarding Student Handbook

WHAT ELSE DO I NEED TO KNOW?
School Bank
White Slips
The School Bank is located in the Business Office (Main House building). For security, we ask you do not keep more than £50 on your person or in your room. If you know that you are going to need more than this amount, your parents should email Accounts (accounts@marymountlondon.com) to notify the Business Office and copy in the Boarding Administrator who will collect your money for you. When you withdraw money from the bank, it is your responsibility to store it safely. You have a lockable drawer in your room; the school is not responsible for the loss of money or other valuables.
In Boarding, you may be given a white slip for repeatedly making poor choices or for failing to follow Boarding regulations. After three white slips, sanctions are put in place. Please see the School Behaviour, Rewards and Sanctions Policy for further details.
Credits
Room of the Week Each week, one room is chosen as “Room of the Week”. This is awarded either to the tidiest room, the room that has shown most improvement, and/or often to the room whose roommates have shown the most care and consideration of each other. ROOM OF THE WEEK = PINK SLIPS!
In Boarding, as in School, you are able to collect pink slips as credits, which are added to the House totals at the end of each Term. This is a chance for boarding students to contribute extra House points. You can get credits for helpful behaviour, participation in Boarding events and acts of kindness towards others. There is a reward system where you can collect pink slips and trade them in.
Standards of Conduct Please refer to our website for the School Behaviour, Rewards and Sanctions Policy.
• 5 pink slips: miss Supervised Study one night, (although you have to make sure you keep up with all work outstanding). • 10 pink slips: order take away food to be delivered any night of the week (to your account). • 20 pink slips: enjoy a pizza party on us! You can join your slips together with friends to win a pizza party, which will probably earn you another pink slip for collaboration and Boarding spirit!
