allowed to exit boarding in the lead up to exams. The College provides excellent academic support
and to justify absorbing this cost we expect parents to support us.
Interstate and Overseas Travel
Students usually travel distances and interstate at the times of heaviest demand. Thus, it is advisable to
make arrangements at the commencement of the year for students returning home at the end of each term.
Please note the travel dates on the School Calendar. Students are expected to arrive at school on designated
travel days.
Parents and guardians are to make all arrangements for their child’s travel to and from school, advising the
boarding house of departure and arrival times at least one week in advance (except in cases of emergency).
The school will remind students of the dates.
Collection of Students from School:
Parents or hosts collecting boarders must not enter boarding dormitories. Collection is from the ‘Old
Building.’
Changes to Arrangements:
Changes to travel arrangements must be approved by the Housemaster/Housemistress. This is to ensure the
safety of the boarder.
Host Form: Parents/guardians are asked to supply a fully completed and signed Host Form at the
commencement of each boarding year. The Housemaster/Housemistress may recommend to parents that
leave be denied on the basis of misbehaviour or poor academic effort. We ask for your support in such
cases. Such decisions will always be discussed fully with home.
MAKING LEAVE ARRANGEMENTS
Your son’s Boarding House will assess all leave requests and the Principal approves all leave requests
beyond 3 days. Leave requests must reach us by either one of the following two ways:
A. Parents/guardians contact the boarding house with clear instructions and details of the leave request,
or we will call parents to confirm arrangements after speaking with the boarder.
B. Individual boarders must submit the ‘Student Leave and Travel Form’ to their Housemaster or
Housemistress. A gate pass will be issued.
Please note that travel cannot be approved without appropriate parent/guardian authority. Boarders
must sign out and sign back in at the boarding office. Illegal leave may result in expulsion.
