RESIDENTIAL STUDENT LEADERSHIP ROLES 2012 RESIDENTIAL CO-CAPTAINS: GIRLS: Selina Hansen BOYS: Joshua McGrath YEAR LEVEL STUDENT REPRESENTATIVE COUNCIL – elected during first term. GENERAL INFORMATION FOR RESIDENTIAL STUDENTS LIVING AWAY FROM HOME AND HOMESICKNESS It is common for new students to experience some difficulties in adapting and coping with their new environment. However, there are many ways in which these difficulties can be minimised for the student. Understanding that personal hygiene is essential and the importance of showering daily, changing underwear and socks regularly, using clean linen and using shampoo, soap and deodorant is one basic example of making the transition into community living easier for a student. While Residential staff give guidance and support, it is much easier if basic preparation such as this is given at home prior to students arriving at the College. It is also not unusual during the early stages of a student’s transition into life at the Residentials for them to experience a degree of homesickness. This is a perfectly natural response to the emotional support that home life represents for most young people. Parents/Care Givers also often experience a degree of emotional upset that results from the absence of their child. As students develop friendships and become familiar with the surroundings and routines of College life, this feeling of insecurity and emotional confusion passes. In some cases, it will reoccur, particularly if the student is concerned or worried about circumstances at home. During the early stage of adjustments, keeping busy at study or sport or any of the activities that are available to students, can be helpful. Talking with Residential staff and the College Counsellor often helps students. We encourage parents/care givers who are concerned about their children to make contact with staff to discuss their welfare. Sometimes contact with home can make matters more difficult for some students. While they need to be reassured of parental love and support, excessive contact with home can often be counterproductive. Therefore we encourage parents/care givers to: limit contact to that which will be the normal pattern of contact during your child’s stay at the College be supportive (when contact is made) and listen but direct your child to increased participation in College activities. Encourage them to seek support from Residential staff or the College Counsellor expect that homesickness is a passing phase of your child’s adjustment to boarding life make contact with the Residential staff if you are concerned about anything regarding your child - don’t hesitate!
