School Rules

Students are under the school’s authority from the time they leave home until they return home, or at any function held under the control of the College.

Transistors, tape players, discmen, ipods, cell phones, matches and lighters, or any dangerous implement must not be brought onto the school grounds.

All clothing, books and sports gear must be clearly named. No responsibility will be taken for lost property, but considerable effort will be made to find it if clothing and equipment are named.

Students are not allowed to chew gum.No school age or personal friends of students may be on the school

grounds during school time.

Page 9: Welcome to Hillary House

Students crossing Macleans Road to and from school must use the pedestrian crossing opposite the school. The school provides supervision of the crossing at busy times. This also applies to bicycle riders.

Bicycles may not be ridden in the school grounds and there will be no doubling.

Damage (eg broken windows) must be reported to the Associate Principal and students must be prepared to pay for damage caused.

If parents wish to locate their children during the day or after school, we request that they enquire at the school office. If parents wish to discuss a problem with their teachers, we ask that an appointment be made.

Students are not to drive motorcycles or cars to or from school, or be a passenger on a motorcycle or in a car driven by students to or from school. Because of the range of activities outside school hours, the Board of Trustees has allowed certain dispensations. The conditions of these dispensations are:

` - The activities are outside normal school hours. - The student holds a current driver’s licence. - Permission has been sought of the Associate Principal in writing in

advance. A card indicating approval will be issued to the student for the year.

Page 30: Welcome to Hillary House

Lunch Time Procedures

All students, except Year 13’s, must return to their houses at the start of lunch time.

Sit-down lunch goes for a duration of 15 minutes. During that time you must sit-down in the commons or in the area in front of the house.

If you are held back by a teacher at the end of Period 3 for any reason then you must stay with that teacher until the end of sit-down lunch.

You must not attend meetings or go to any sport’s fixtures during this time. House sport starts after the bell for the end of sit-down lunch and time will be given for students to get to the gym and to change.

Page 31: Welcome to Hillary House

Lost Property

If you lose valuables (eg watch, glasses, calculator, wallet), go to the Top Office at the entrance of the administration block.

If you lose any other items such as books or clothes, then look first in the house lost property.

There is a school lost property that is located in the uniform shop. However, to avoid losing items, make sure everything is clearly labelled with your name and your house.

If you lose something then you should register the loss of the item in the book in the House Leader’s office.

If you suspect that something has been stolen then report the disappearance immediately. It becomes increasingly impossible to get things back the longer you wait to report it missing.

Page 32: Welcome to Hillary House

Leave

Taking time out of school is not encouraged but if you are going to be taking time out of school, then you must see Mrs Wong, House Leader and apply for leave. She will give you a form to be filled in by your parents.

Return the form to the House Leader and she will consider your application. On your return you will be required to complete catch-up sessions which happen after school in H5.
