Billeting Billeting – General information DCS is a member of the ACAMIS Orange group, which requires schools who host tournaments to house visiting students. This is a reciprocal arrangement, which is meant to keep to a minimum the costs of visiting other schools for games. Parents of DCS athletes will be requested to undertake hosting responsibilities when DCS hosts tournaments on its campus. Consequently visiting athletes will be housed and fed (breakfast and dinner) in the home of a host athlete. The Director of Sports will contact parents in advance of tournaments requesting they make themselves available to host visiting students. As this is a reciprocal arrangement it is expected that all parents of Senior School athletes undertake this in order for the system to work effectively. Billeting at Dulwich College Shanghai Billeting is a method of providing low cost accommodation for students involved in excursions and sporting trips hosted between Dulwich Colleges, ISCMS (International Schools Choral Music Society) and ACAMIS (Association of China and Mongolia International Schools) schools. We would like to assume that all of our families are going to offer a safe and secure environment for all billeted students. However, we cannot absolutely guarantee their suitability, as we are unable to acquire police record checks or have any assurance other than word of mouth or self-referral. We take the safety and wellbeing of all students very seriously and have formulated the following guidelines for staff and families to follow. • Billeting needs to be a planned activity in which the Headmasters of Schools, billeting coordinators, supervising teachers, the host parents and the parents of the visiting students are fully informed and implement arrangements that have been agreed upon by the Heads of Schools themselves. • Students should never be billeted alone. They should always be with at least one other student from the travelling team. • It is our expectation that no student will share a room with anyone other than a student with whom they are already acquainted and familiar (eg from same school/team) • Students should have contact home numbers of the members of staff in charge of the group. Staff members responsible for the group should have the mobile phone number and home number of the family who is billeting the student. • If the wellbeing or safety of a student is at risk, or there is suspicion that this could be so, the student will be relocated to another approved accommodation. DCS Billeting Obligations (when hosting students) Below are the rules that DCS follow for ACAMIS and DCA competitions, which are accepted practice for International schools. 1.

8. Provide your guest with an evening meal and breakfast 9. Curfew hours cannot be extended and any violation should be reported immediately to the Director of Sports or the person in charge of the tournament 10.

Staff of the students in your care will call each evening to ensure all is well and their students are home before curfew 11. Ensure that guests know your name, telephone number and address Sports Kits for DCS Teams All players selected for College representative sides will receive a sports kit for each match. This will include a jersey and a pair of shorts (skort for netball). It is essential and expected that students return all kits to the College at the end of the season. Players for all events are required to be attired in below (all of which are available for purchase at the College shop). • DCS kit bag • DCS Panthers hooded top (Junior school maroon and Senior school blue) • DCS socks (for rugby and football squads) Travelling squads to ACAMIS and FOBISSEA events will also need to be attired in below: • DCS travel T-shirt (available for purchase at College shop) • DCS sports track trousers (students will loan these from the PE/Sports department if and when the weather requires their use) Communication Tournament dates are available on the school calendar as well as the sports section of the school website. Training schedules are to be published in advance on sports notice boards, the school bulletin and DCS website. http://dulwich-shanghai.cn All competitive teams require athletes to be aware of changes to schedules and to check on a regular basis that the information they have is up to date. Students require consent forms if they are to be considered for competitive teams. These forms will include the contact details of the student. The forms can be found on the web site and in the PE/Sports department. Cancellation of Games/Practices Cancellations do regrettably occur and the College will endeavour to make cancellation decisions by 1.00pm for afternoon fixtures and will email parents. Rescheduled dates will be emailed to parents and published on the website as soon as they are made available and also on sports notice boards for students. Transportation Due to issues of safety and reliability and to encourage team spirit, DCS insists that all students travel to away venues on school supplied transport. Parents may wish to make alternative arrangements for the return journey but must consult with the coach prior to departure. 22
