Boarding School Rules 7
Rules THE RULES OF THE BOARDING SCHOOL ARE FEW AND CLEAR
• All scheduled activities and meetings at the boarding school are obligatory. • You must be well-prepared for school. • You must participate in the house duties at the boarding school. • You are to behave in a friendly, considerate, and respectful manner towards others. • You must contribute constructively to the social life of the boarding school. Transgression of these social rules equals with drawal from the community and thereby one reduces one’s chances of a good boarding school stay, that supports one´s education at school.
BESIDES THE ABOVE THE BOARDING SCHOOL HAS A NUMBER OF ABSOLUTE RULES
• Attending school is a prerequisite for living at the boarding school. A poor attendance record with unjustified absence means that you cannot stay at the boarding school. • Pupils who possess and use drugs – cannabis included – will be immediately expelled from the boarding school. • It is forbidden to drink alcohol during schooldays and in the examination periods. Only on Fridays and Saturdays after 7 p.m., the boarding school teacher on duty can give permission to drink beer, wine, and mixers (such as Bacardi Breezers). It is forbidden even to keep wine, beer and spirits as well as empty containers at the boarding school.
• In the event that you have received permission from the boarding school teacher to drink alcohol on weekends, you must have cleaned up and be quiet at 11 p.m. Alcohol and empty alcohol containers must be removed the next day, latest at 10 a.m. Several transgressions of these rules can result in expulsion from the boarding school. Boarding school pupils are also expected to have a sensible and responsible attitude to alcohol outside the boarding school, and it is the school’s general expectation that no student drinks on days before school days. • Smoking is prohibited on the boarding school´s cadastral. Do not smoke inside the building and outside the building. • Bullying, violence, and threats are unacceptable forms of behaviour and can result in expulsion from the boarding school.
INFRINGEMENT OF THE BOARDING SCHOOL RULES
Infringement of the boarding school rules and failure to fulfil duties can, depending on the degree, result in the following sanctions: • A reprimand by the boarding school teacher on duty. • A written warning by the Head Teacher as recommended by the boarding school teacher on duty. • Temporary or permanent expulsion. After permanent expulsion you are excluded of visiting the boarding school. • In a written sanction, the parents will be contacted.
