LOCKERS
Lockers are available for all Secondary School students. Students are encouraged to keep anything of value
in these lockers. If a student must bring something of greater value to school, he/she may keep it for a
short time in the Office, with the agreement of Office staff. Students are responsible for their lockers and
locker keys and they will have to pay for the replacement of any lost keys. Lockers must be cleaned out
with soapy water and left empty and locked at the end of the school year.
LUNCHES
Lunches are delivered from the Hellerup Campus and served from the A floor Lounge. Students may collect
and pay for their lunches in the Lounge, and take them where they choose to eat. Dirty plates and cutlery
should be returned to the Lounge and placed in the dishwasher by the student. Tables to eat at are also
available in the Grade 11 and 12 Lounge, in the F Floor Common Room and in the Courtyard. Plates and
cutlery belonging to the school should not be taken off the school premises, however students may supply
their own if they wish to take their food off-campus.
MISSED DEADLINES AND FAILURE TO SUBMIT WORK
The IB Programs are assessed against IB-set criteria. Teachers can only accurately assess student progress if
they have enough evidence by which to judge the progress. It is extremely important for student learning
that all set work is submitted.
Teachers set deadlines for homework and major assignments in order to help the students plan their work. If
a student fails to meet a deadline then the teacher is not required to give credit for the work. This may result
in the student receiving a ‘0’ against a particular criterion in the MYP, which will directly impact the overall
grade for that subject. In both the MYP and the DP, if a teacher does not have sufficient evidence on which
to judge a student’s progress, then the student may be given ‘no credit’ in that course.
Failure to meet deadlines for DP Internal Assessment tasks can result in failure of the IB Diploma.
OPEN CAMPUS
Senior School students may leave campus, without written permission from parents, when they do
not have a class. This includes break and lunchtimes for all students, and unscheduled lesson time
for years 11 and 12. Students availing of this privilege are expected to be at their following classes
on time, and to represent the school appropriately during their time off campus. School rules
apply.
PARENT COFFEE MORNINGS
Parent Coffee Mornings are held regularly and all parents are welcome to attend. The purpose of the
meetings is to socialize with other community members, give and receive information, and provide a forum
for open dialog and feedback on school programs and new initiatives. Besides the Principal, the Curriculum
Coordinators and Counselors, as well as other faculty members will regularly attend. Issues discussed will be
of a broad, school wide nature. Individual parent concerns about a child's placement or progress are not
discussed.
