OVERNIGHT LEAVE
ACTIVITIES
Overnight leave is to be approved only by the Head of House, or if this is impossible, by the Director of Boarding.
There is a vibrant weekend activities program through which a range of events are organised to engage boarders on weekends.
All leave requests are submitted via our online leave management software, REACH. Students submit requests for leave in the first instance. These requests will then be emailed to parents to approve or decline permission. Once this process is complete, Boarding Heads of House carrying out the final checks before approving leave request. Parents and students will be given access to REACH upon their commencement at the School and boarding staff will endeavour to assist boarders and parents as they become familiar with this process.
Activities available within the School:
• Requests for Friday, Saturday or Sunday overnight leave, where the student is to be hosted by his/her parents, must be submitted by the Wednesday evening 9pm prior to the leave. • Requests for Friday, Saturday or Sunday overnight leave where the student is to be hosted by anyone other than his/her parents must be by Wednesday night, and parents will need to enter and approve a host prior to students creating leave requests. The host will then be emailed for approval of the leave also. • Permission would not be given to boarders to stay in a motel or elsewhere without adult supervision, even if parents approve. • If there are any concerns or questions about a submitted leave request, the Head of House would likely call the parent to discuss the hosting arrangements to clarify details. • Some documentary evidence of phone contacts would be retained (along with other documents relating to the leave, for at least 12 months.) • Since the Head of House needs time to check and process arrangements, the Wednesday 9pm deadline is final. The Head of House will be prepared simply to say “No” to overnight leave where there is a late application, except in dire circumstances.
• Use of Games Gym - basketball/aerobics (under supervision) • Swimming Pool (under supervision) • Weights Gym (under supervision) • Main Oval • Tennis Courts • Cricket Nets

WEEKENDS Students are encouraged to find interesting and useful things to do on the weekends. There are many opportunities made available to them, including: • Membership of local or home-based sporting teams. • Community service. • Boarders Weekend Activities – a series of activities organised by the Weekend Activities team which include bike rides, surfing lessons, ten-pin bowling, movie nights, cooking etc. • Visits to day student homes. • Designated activities run by boarding staff will also be regularly organised.
