ACCOMMODATION Younger learners share a room for four. As they progress to IGCSE exam years, they move into twin or triple sharing rooms. Each boarder has his or her own desk and bookshelves for independent study. IB Diploma learners have their own single study bedrooms. While the kitchen provides ample food for the boarders, each floor has a kitchenette. Boarders can prepare snacks, make coffee and tea, or just heat up some noodles in the microwave. Each floor has an attractive recreation area where students can chat, watch TV, listen to music or just read quietly. The boarder’s room is their responsibility. They must maintain it carefully. The room should be tidied by 7.20am every morning ready for inspection by the house parent. This means the bed is made, nothing is on the floor, clothes are hung up, and shoes, paper and books are packed away neatly. • • • •
Boys are strictly forbidden from entering the girls’ floor. Girls are strictly forbidden from entering the boys’ floor. Boarders are not permitted to enter a room other than their own unless specifically invited. Communal areas must be kept tidy and the rights of others to share communal facilities must be respected.
PASTORAL CARE
TYPES OF BOARDING
There are four floors of accommodation, two floors for boys and two floors for girls. A house parent lives on the same floor as the boarder and looks after each floor of 28 boarders. The house parent develops a strong relationship with the boarders in their care and is the one who has most contact with them on a daily basis. Therefore the house parent is the first point of contact should parents want to check on the progress, or well being of their children.
There are three types of boarding: 1. 2. 3.
8
The boarders are surrounded by an enthusiastic and committed “triangle of care” in everything they do. This triangle consists of the house parent, the Matron and the Director of Boarding. The boarder has the opportunity to talk to any of the people in this triangle should they have any concerns regarding anything at all.
Full Boarders: These boarders stay in boarding 24 hours 7 days a week. Weekly Boarders: These boarders board from Monday morning to Friday afternoon. Day Boarders: These boarders arrive at 7am and can leave at 7pm daily (Monday to Friday). They may also study with other boarders during the first study session which ends at 8-30pm. They have breakfast and dinner in boarding and take part in after school activities.

APPEARANCE OF BOARDERS
ACADEMIC SUPPORT
Hair: Girls and boys should have clean and tidy hair which is appropriate for school. Common-sense should prevail, e.g. if hair is so long that it is covering the eyes then a haircut might be in order.

House parents supervise study sessions and help boarders with their homework. The boarding house is equipped with high-speed wi-fi, giving boarders Internet access to enable them to continue working in the boarding environment.
Dress: When boarders are outside their residential areas on their floor they must wear appropriate clothing and footwear. E.g. boys must wear a shirt and girls must be dressed suitably. Footwear: Flip - flops and sandals are acceptable in the boarding house, but enclosed shoes must be worn to school. Various activities will also demand certain types of footwear. Make-up/Toiletries: If girls choose to wear make-up then the female house parents may advise them on how to apply the make-up in a practical manner. E.g. light make-up for school and a little heavier for outings and other functions. Jewellery: Boarders should be encouraged to keep jewellery to a minimum and dress appropriately for a school setting. REGARDING STUDY TIME Study time is held between 7.00pm to 8.30pm Monday to Thursday for everyone. Years 10 to 13 may extend their study time beyond 9.15pm.

HOMESICKNESS
THE MEDICAL CENTRE AND HEALTH ISSUES
Boarders coming to Nexus Boarding for the first time may suffer from homesickness. As separation from parents is one of the strongest fears in childhood, it is no wonder that some boarders will be homesick at some stage during their stay at Nexus Boarding.
There is a resident Matron in the boarding house. She lives next to the Medical Centre and her primary role is to take care of the boarders when they need medical assistance.
The following are some steps, which can prove useful in heading off homesickness in boarders: • • • • • • • • • •
16
Include the boarders in the decision of coming to Nexus. Look at the brochures together and of course, try and visit Nexus Boarding together. Discuss your expectations for the separation and the boarder’s expectations. This includes why they are going, and what you hope they will gain from the experience. Encourage the boarder’s independence and have trial separations. Discuss topics such as set times to call and how often you will make contact. Know what procedures are in place at Nexus Boarding regarding parent/boarder contact times. Communicate with the house parent to check on the progress of the boarder. Involve the boarder in the packing. Put some familiar items in the suitcase that will help make them feel at home in their new environment. Make the departure time cheerful. Set the tone by talking about the positives of the new experience. Don’t bribe or promise to bring the boarder home if they do not like Nexus Boarding. Such behaviour indicates to the boarder that you think they will not be able to handle the separation. Write and call regularly, focusing on the positives. Avoid dwelling on how much you miss them! Do not discuss a list of events the boarder is missing from home. Enjoy the boarding experience along with the boarder.
nexus.edu.my NISP
During school hours if boarders are unwell, they go to the School infirmary and are attended to by the School nurse. If a boarder is too sick to stay at School, they are then sent back to boarding to be looked after by the Matron. All medical and dental appointments are organised through the Matron. All medication or any supplement taken by boarders is kept and dispensed by the Matron. Boarders should not take someone else’s medication, or have any type of medication in their possession. It is important that parents fill in the School basic medical form accurately and comprehensively so that those who need to be informed are aware of any special conditions, treatments or allergies that a child may have as well as any relevant medical history. In addition it is important that the School be informed should there be any changes or developments relating to a child’s health. Boarders are covered by the School’s accident insurance policy which is likely to cover all medical expenses should an accident occur. However parents will be charged for medical transportation. Parents must organise general health cover for their children. In the event of an emergency, a boarder will be taken to one of the local hospitals. A staff member will accompany the boarder to the hospital and the parents will be informed as soon as possible. The duty of care will be transferred to the hospital once the boarder has been collected by an ambulance or arrives at the hospital.

HOMESICKNESS
THE MEDICAL CENTRE AND HEALTH ISSUES
Boarders coming to Nexus Boarding for the first time may suffer from homesickness. As separation from parents is one of the strongest fears in childhood, it is no wonder that some boarders will be homesick at some stage during their stay at Nexus Boarding.
There is a resident Matron in the boarding house. She lives next to the Medical Centre and her primary role is to take care of the boarders when they need medical assistance.
The following are some steps, which can prove useful in heading off homesickness in boarders: • • • • • • • • • •
16
Include the boarders in the decision of coming to Nexus. Look at the brochures together and of course, try and visit Nexus Boarding together. Discuss your expectations for the separation and the boarder’s expectations. This includes why they are going, and what you hope they will gain from the experience. Encourage the boarder’s independence and have trial separations. Discuss topics such as set times to call and how often you will make contact. Know what procedures are in place at Nexus Boarding regarding parent/boarder contact times. Communicate with the house parent to check on the progress of the boarder. Involve the boarder in the packing. Put some familiar items in the suitcase that will help make them feel at home in their new environment. Make the departure time cheerful. Set the tone by talking about the positives of the new experience. Don’t bribe or promise to bring the boarder home if they do not like Nexus Boarding. Such behaviour indicates to the boarder that you think they will not be able to handle the separation. Write and call regularly, focusing on the positives. Avoid dwelling on how much you miss them! Do not discuss a list of events the boarder is missing from home. Enjoy the boarding experience along with the boarder.

During school hours if boarders are unwell, they go to the School infirmary and are attended to by the School nurse. If a boarder is too sick to stay at School, they are then sent back to boarding to be looked after by the Matron. All medical and dental appointments are organised through the Matron. All medication or any supplement taken by boarders is kept and dispensed by the Matron. Boarders should not take someone else’s medication, or have any type of medication in their possession. It is important that parents fill in the School basic medical form accurately and comprehensively so that those who need to be informed are aware of any special conditions, treatments or allergies that a child may have as well as any relevant medical history.

It is therefore an expectation that boarders will refrain from smoking anywhere on the campus and also while associated with any boarding or school activity. Nexus Boarding believes that the health, safety and well being of its learners is paramount, and is therefore willing to assist boarders with help or referral to appropriate resources in order that they cease smoking. Our policy for boarders who smoke has 3 steps: •

Boarders who are known to be smoking will be counselled by staff, or offered advice or referral to appropriate resources. Parents will be informed and boarders will receive a sanction.

Boarders who continue to smoke following the above intervention will be expelled.
GUARDIAN For overseas boarders and boarders living outside the peninsular, parents must nominate an adult living within relatively short travelling distance of the school. The guardian can be a close friend or relative who should be over 25 years of age. The guardian will be required to provide accommodation when the boarding facilities are closed.
