Where to go on campus

WHAT TO DO ON CAMPUS

Communal Areas

Across the Boarding halls, there are places to relax, unwind, do homework or talk to your friends and family. There are three Lounges, each equipped with kitchen facilities and sofa areas to relax. We ask all students to tidy up after they use the Lounges, i.e., wash up any used pots/pans/plates, put them away and clear the litter.

Hot food should be eaten at the tables in the Lounges; this helps to prevent spillages on the sofas and carpet. You may not eat hot food in your rooms.

The same is true for any communal area that you use – tidy away any mess you make, put things back where they came from and put all rubbish in the bin. Leave these areas as you would wish to find them.

Chapel

The Chapel is open daily for all members of the Marymount Community. You are welcome to take time to reflect and to spend quiet time in this holy place. In addition, the Spiritual Life Co-ordinator will organise quiet times of prayer and reflection throughout the year.

Art Room and Library

The Art Room and Library are open until 21:00 during the week, and on Saturday/Sunday from 10:00–21:00, or after Mass. See COVID19 amendments on page 19.

Music Room

We have a well-equipped Music Room that you are welcome to use. You may store your instruments in the Music Room.

Dance Pod

Our new Dance Pod is available for practice in the evening and over the weekends.

Sports Hall and Gym

The Fitness Centre is available to all boarding students over 14 years old. This is a government regulation so we are unable to make exceptions. It will be open between 18:30 and 21:00 every night and during the day on the weekends. For safety, you must go in pairs. Boarding Council can add you to the Gym Buddy group if needed, so you can always find someone to join you. You will need to have an induction with the PE teacher to ensure you fully understand how to use all of the equipment. As part of your Diploma CAS or MYP Service as Action programme, hours can be claimed for using the gym; when you arrive make sure to write your name on the list and the time you arrive and leave. Apart from the Sports Hall, we have a large outdoor grass area, which you can use to exercise, spend time alone or play games with others. Tennis and all-weather courts are available for use during recreation time.
