‘Bed check’ & lock up
To have a friend, you must be a friend. We take care of each other, especially when one of us is feeling ‘alone’. At Prep
we expect every boy to feel happy about his day – safe and secure.
As our Staff Mission statement declares;
‘Nurturing happiness at work and play’
This is the basic right and responsibility of each boy within our school and even more so within the boarding
community.
Demeanour – Manners
We deliberately care about ourselves and about each other.
‘Drop’ what you are doing to help or advise another boy, family or visitor to the House. If giving directions, escort when
appropriate. Don’t treat such requests as an inconvenience – be a help!
Use proper names when addressing each other. To adults, ‘Ma’am’ or ‘Sir’ if Mr or Mrs…… is not known.
When you are addressing other boys in the House use their correct name or one you know they are comfortable with.
Each boy will have daily duties to perform for himself and for the House, make sure you do your fair share.
Table manners are essential – for example, using utensils properly, finish chewing before speaking, speaking quietly and
with respect for fellow diners.
Every persons view is valuable even if it is not the same as yours.
