MOVEMENT BETWEEN PERIODS Please note:
• students must move directly and promptly to classes. Movement during a period must not disturb others; • lateness to class must be explained by a note from the previous teacher or the Attendance Officer; • a student released from class must carry a teacher’s note detailing the reason for, and the time of release. There should be no expectation of being released to go to the toilet or to have a drink of water unless in an emergency; • when arriving at class, students must quickly and quietly seat themselves and take out the relevant books, homework and equipment – or as otherwise expected by the teacher at the start of the period.
MUSIC – PERFORMANCE AND TUITION We strongly encourage our students to explore and develop skills and talents in musical performance. The College has an extensive choral and instrumental programme, with many students involved in a variety of groups. Individual tuition in singing and on a range of instruments, including the pipes and drums, is provided through the College by independent specialist staff. A request for tuition should be made on the form available from the Music Department. Students who already play an instrument and who have reached a sufficiently high level of proficiency are given the opportunity to audition for one of the College performance groups. The groups do not have long rehearsal sessions. They generally take place either before school or during the lunch hour, so that rehearsals do not interfere with class time and after-school activities. For further information please contact Head of Music, Mr Duncan Ferguson.
PARENT HELP Parent help is welcomed in many areas of the College. In addition to the activities of the Parent Teacher Association, we particularly welcome offers of help in coaching or managing one of the many sports teams across a large number of codes. If you would like to offer to help, please contact the College.
PRIVACY Students are not permitted to publish photos and video clips taken at the College or at College events without College permission. This includes publication on internet sites such as Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube. Full details of the College’s Privacy Policy can be found under College Policies on StACNet.
