Info

Hygiene You have definite responsibilities here and you won’t have Mum or Dad to watch over you. Ensure your clothes are sent to the laundry regularly. Laundry bins are located in the foyers. Beds should be changed every week (see Routines). Always turn in your pillowcase and sheets every week. If you have a problem with bed-wetting, speak to the Student Counsellor or Director of Boarding. There are two allocated shower times each day. You should shower at least once a day, preferably twice. Always shower twice a day in summer or if you have been involved in any sports training or physical education. Always wear pyjamas to bed every evening. This is all part of personal hygiene. Dispose of razor blades appropriately. Never share razors, toothbrushes or drinking vessels. If you become aware of a boarder who is having difficulties with hygiene, report it to a responsible person - the duty master, Director of Boarding or Counsellor. Once reported the responsible person will then take steps to rectify the problem. Co-operation in these matters is essential. Meals We share three main meals a day, supplemented by morning tea and afternoon tea. We eat nutritious food. Please note that boarders are required to attend every meal. Breakfast consists of cereal, yogurt, fruit, hot dishes, toast and tea or coffee. You may have breakfast between 7.00 a.m. and 7.35 a.m. Help yourself to cereal and toast. The kitchen staff will serve your main meal at the bain-marie. You are responsible for placing your used dishes on a trolley. Once you have finished you may then depart, and should return to your dormitory to prepare for inspection. Lunch routine is similar. We usually eat salads for lunch, and in winter have soup and hot foods. There is always a varied main course. The evening meal routine is cafeteria style. Students may not depart until directed to do so by the duty master. The evening meal is a two course hot meal. Once finished, you report to the laundry for collection of clothes. This is compulsory. Certain conventions should be observed in the dining room: no food, crockery or cutlery is ever to be taken out of the dining room. Appropriate table manners should be displayed. It’s never pleasant to see people talking with their mouths full. Overall noise in the dining room should be minimal. We don’t mind talking, but you should not shout or display poor manners. We also have a dress code - shoes and neat casual clothes. Shirts are always to be tucked in. We have instruction in table manners during the year. We also teach students conventions of restaurant behaviour. IPSWICH GRAMMAR SCHOOL Boarders’ Handbook – 13
