SENIOR SCHOOL STUDENT - PARENT HANDBOOK

2. Put their names on all personal belongings
3. Never bring to school more money than they absolutely need
(lunch, fares, etc)
4. Never tamper with other people’s belongings, even as a joke.
Items found should be turned in to the office where they can be claimed by
their owners. Personal belongings left/found unattended in public areas
will be confiscated, and may be reclaimed from the office.
12. SCHOOL PROPERTY
Hardback textbooks are provided as required for each course as a part of
the basic school tuition. These remain school property, and must be
returned in good condition at the end of the year. Texts which are
lost/stolen or carelessly handled must be paid for. In some courses
paperback books are distributed for student use and may not need to be
returned. Repair/replacement costs for negligent damage to other types
of school property are also charged to the person responsible.
13. SCHOOL STORE
The ISD Store, in the Commons Room, sells a variety of school clothing
and educational supplies (e.g. paper, pencils, pens, ISD T-shirts &
Sweatshirts etc). Profits from these sales go to the “Volunteer Raised
Fund Account”. Opening hours are 08.30-09.00 and 15.30-16.00 or
whenever the light is on in the shop.
14. STUDENT GOVERNMENT
Student government is organized at two levels within the senior school.
Each grade elects its own officers who are responsible for the planning of
their class social activities and fund-raising events. The entire senior
school student body also elects officers for the student councils (G6-8 and
G9-12) which are responsible for coordinating all student-led activities,
service projects, and fund-raising events, as well as representing student
interests for consideration by the teachers and administration.
15. TELEPHONES
Students may use the coin-operated public phones in the café and
commons room for outgoing calls during school hours. Urgent messages
for the students phoned to the school are delivered as and when
convenient to the educational program.
16. TRANSPORTATION
ISD does not provide transportation between home and school. The
public transportation system and private arrangements between families
can meet all the possible needs. The school does provide transportation
for official academic or extra-curricular trips. In some of these cases there
is a transportation charge.
