Huisreëls / House Rules

VOORWOORD:

Die koshuis is ‘n plek waar ons mekaar en mekaar se eiendom respekteer. Dit is ‘n voorreg (nie ‘n reg nie) om in een van die Paul Roos koshuise tuis te gaan. Daarom word daar van elke inwoner verwag om betrokke te wees en deel te neem aan soveel as moontlik van die aktiwiteite wat die skool aanbied. Daar word ook verwag om hierdie reëls ten alle tye na te kom.

GENERAL:

• Order must prevail in and around the hostel at all times.
• Boarders must respond promptly to the bells.
• Boarders must stand when conversing with adults and be polite at all times.
• Damage to property must be reported to the house master immediately. It must also be written in the book for repairs.
• The use of liquor and cigarettes/vaping devices or related drugs is strictly prohibited, as well as related unacceptable behaviour.
• Leaving the school/sports grounds without permission is strictly prohibited.
• No boarder is allowed to walk alone outside the schoolgrounds after 18:30.
• Clothes and other belongings must be marked properly.
• Rooms must be completely vacated during the holidays. If necessary, a store room will be available to learners who live more than 250 km from the school.
• No boarders will be allowed in the hostel during school hours without the prior permission of the housemaster.
• A hostel assistant and prefect will be on duty over weekends, to help with discipline.
• The hostel assistant and/or prefects will do room inspection daily.
• Personal valuables like money and cell phones etc. are the learner’s own responsibility and must be locked away in his cupboard.  The hostel won’t be held responsible for any losses.
• No boarder will be allowed to park a vehicle or motor bike overnight on the hostel premises.
• Boarders staying in over weekends must at all times keep the assistant on duty informed of their whereabouts.

AFWESIGHEID/SIEKTE:

• Siektes en ander skete moet tydens ontbyt aan die assistent aandiens/koshuisvader gerapporteer word. Die assistent gee dan hierdie name deur aan Kamer 14 vir hantering.
• Nadat ouers gekontak word word doktersafsprake deur Kamer 14 gemaak. Hulle sal, in oorleg met die koshuivader, omsien na die welsyn van die koshuisganger gedurende skoolure.
• Leerlinge wat by die skool siek raak meld ook by Kamer 14 aan.
• Leerlinge wat in die middag of aand siek raak meld by die diensdoenende assistant (of koshuisvader) aan. Indien nodig, sal hierdie person die kosganger na ‘n plaaslike geneesheer of na die privaat hospital neem vir behandeling.
• Versoeke om by vriende gedurende die week (Maandag – Donderdag) te bly/kuier/oor te slaap sal slegs deur die koshuisvader oorweeg word. Leerlinge sal slegs toegelaat word om by hulle ouers gedurende die skoolweek te bly indien die koshuisvader toestemming gegee het.
• Tradisioneel maak ons koshuisseuns gebruik van die mediese praktyk van Drs Bosman, Brink en Groeneveld in Dorpstraat (021-8872820) en die Stelkor Apteek in die Stelkor Mediese Sentrum (021-8833162). Beide is binne stapafstand van die koshuise gelëe. Stelkor Apteek doen ook gratis aflewerings van medikasie by ons koshuise.
• Medikasie. Neem kennis van die skrywe oor selfmedikasie. Die koshuispersoneel word volgens wet verbied om enige soort medikasie aan u seun te gee. Vandaar die versoek dat u ‘n eenvoudige noodhulpsakkie vir u seun sal aanskaf word wat die basiese medikasie vir hoofpyn etc. sal bevat. Die brief is op die webblad.
