Prep Guidelines
•
Prep occurs before dinner and after dinner in the forms of Prep 1 and Prep 2.
•
As a rule, boarders will spend time reviewing work covered in class during the day as well as
completing set homework tasks. There is a school homework timetable that is to be followed and
checked by tutors
•
Quite often homework does not have to be handed in for several days, so it is advisable to make
sure homework due in the following day is completed first.
•
For a productive prep, the following guidelines apply: -
Boarders are to ensure that all stationery and necessary books are on hand before the
commencement of Prep 1
There is to be no “chat”. Prep 1 is silent with limited movement. Prep 2 is quiet
movement or talk if required, or group work. Teachers will be on-hand to assist with
Prep
If boarders need assistance, they should ask the staff member on duty first
Sunday Prep is also held to ensure that all homework is completed and the new week prepared for.
Supervision of Prep
Prep is supervised each night from Monday to Friday by teachers on duty. Extra work on projects
and assignments should normally be done in the afternoons or at the weekend.
