On Saturday and Sunday you only need to attend breakfast or brunch/lunch. This means you can have a lie in in the morning, as long as you register at brunch/lunch. You can attend breakfast on Saturday and Sunday in pyjamas; however, you should be modestly covered and wearing footwear. Dinner registration is compulsory if you are on campus.
Before School
After School (Monday to Thursday)
You may use the shower rooms from 6:00 am onwards; we ask that you do not play music before 7:00 am (or after 10:00 pm) out of consideration for other boarding students.
Snack
Breakfast Breakfast is served from 7:30am; please sign in with the Houseparent on breakfast duty. You should come to breakfast in school uniform. After you have eaten, please clear away your tray and leave the Dining Hall tidy. We encourage you to engage and socialise at meal times, and discourage all ‘tech devices’ at meal times. This is a great time to make new friends; look out for someone sitting alone and ask her to join you. You should leave Boarding by 8:25am so that you are on time for your first class at 8:30am. Houseparents will be in the Halls until 8:35am. During the school day, it is possible to return to your room with assistance from the Boarding staff, School Administrator or the School Nurse, however, we ask that you prepare yourself for the entire academic day before leaving for classes in the morning.
Afternoon snack is available in the Dining Hall. This is a time to socialise with other boarding students, speak to Houseparents and collect your post and parcels. Please come to snack to say hello to the Houseparents and tell them what activity you will be engaged in after snack. See COVID19 amendments on page 19.
Study Study is a time for you to complete your homework, work on projects, or revise. Houseparents supervise and ensure that everyone respects this valuable quiet time to complete assignments. Group work can be completed in a different classroom when talking is necessary; please ask the Houseparents to help you arrange this. Otherwise, we ask you to keep the noise down, and help everyone complete their work with minimal distractions. During Study, you may use your phones to listen to music with individual headphones; texting, social media, and phone calls are not permitted. If you are using your laptop, phone or iPad for anything other than study, the Houseparent may remove the device to help you concentrate on the tasks at hand. Eating snacks is not encouraged during study. Think of other people’s crisp packets or popcorn at the movies; it drives you crazy, right? – 7 –
