Tudor House Handbook by thekingsschool_official

Student Handbook

The Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School Tudor House is a Christian community that seeks to make an outstanding impact for the good of society through its students, and by the quality of its teaching and leadership in education.

School Values – We will Promote

Humility

Integrity

We do not think more highly of ourselves than we ought. We are human and we share in the humanity of others. Being humble arises from our Christian belief that we are equal in the sight of God because we are all created in His image. Humility is strongly aligned with respect and compassion, for it is when we are humble that we are able to respect one another and are motivated to reach out to others with compassion. Being humble recognises that we are not always right, we get things wrong.

We live our lives with integrity. To demonstrate integrity means to live a life that is integrated and balanced, cohesive and coherent. As a community which demonstrates integrity, we are unified and work together for the common good. We are trustworthy and reliable, we follow through with conviction and courage. Integrity is strongly aligned with responsibility and honesty, for when we are true to ourselves and one another and exercise responsibility, we demonstrate our integrity.

BE HUMBLE.

DEMONSTRATE INTEGRITY.

Honesty

Compassion

We are honest. Honesty means being trustworthy, sincere and authentic. We are true to ourselves and one another. We do not mislead or misrepresent each other. As members of our community, our trust for one another depends on our honesty. Honesty is strongly aligned with integrity and respect for it is our commitment to being honest with each other that enables us to be trustworthy and live with integrity and to show respect for one another.

We live to serve one another. Having compassion means caring for others, being kind and gentle. Compassion is stronger than sympathy or empathy, it is much more active and intentional. In a Christian sense, it is going out of one’s way to help others, to be generous towards others, to care for others and stand up for others. Compassion is strongly aligned with humility and responsibility, for it is from an attitude of humility that we choose to take responsibility for others and reach out to them with compassion.

BE HONEST.

BE COMPASSIONATE.

Respect

Excellence

We respect one another and ourselves. Respect involves valuing people and property so that neither is dishonoured. We respect others’ beliefs and points of view. We do not bully or impose our will on others, whether in thought, word or deed. We respect ourselves by adopting a lifestyle that is balanced and promotes wellbeing. Respect is strongly aligned with humility and honesty, for it is when we are committed to the truth and able to recognise we may be wrong, that we are able to show respect.

We strive to be excellent for others and ourselves. We do this in order to make an outstanding impact for the good of society. Striving for excellence means seeking to improve and better ourselves, to be always growing. Our striving for excellence is that we may be excellent for the sake of others. Excellence is strongly aligned with a life of compassion, humility, respect, honesty, integrity and responsibility, for it is when we commit ourselves to serve others that we strive to be excellent for others.

SHOW RESPECT.

STRIVE FOR EXCELLENCE.

Responsibility We take responsibility for others and ourselves. Responsibility means recognising that we live with others in a shared world. Living and learning in community means taking responsibility for contributing positively and actively to our community and our world. Responsibility for our world means living sustainably. Responsibility is strongly aligned with compassion and integrity, for we reach out with compassion and demonstrate our integrity when we choose to take responsibility for ourselves and others. TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.

Welcome Welcome to The King’s School, Tudor House, a unique School built on a foundation of more than 120 years of Boarding and Day Primary School education. Mr Wilfred Inman, our founder, established a Preparatory School for boys in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs in 1897. He moved the School to Hamilton House (later to be renamed Tudor House) in the picturesque Southern Highlands in 1902, to provide a broad range of opportunities not available to the students in the city. Proud traditions promoting risk taking, ensure young Tudorians life long love of learning. We’re also very conscious of the responsibility to prepare our students for a rapidly changing global world through evolving and innovative educational experiences. Tudor House is an authorised Primary Years School (an International Baccalaureate World School). IB World Schools share a common philosophy – a commitment to highquality, challenging, international education – that we believe is important for our students. The PYP focuses on the whole child as an inquirer, both in the classroom and in the world outside. A balance is sought between the acquisition of essential knowledge and skills, development of conceptual understanding, demonstration of positive attitudes and taking of responsible action. We’re proud of our outstanding facilities and learning spaces, set in 169 acres of playground. Our highly trained, dedicated teachers provide engaging and stimulating learning experiences, in a Christian community where all students are known and valued. Each student is encouraged and supported to be the best version of them self by understanding and adhering to the School Values. Within our overarching framework, character education is of particular importance to us. Students are explicitly provided with opportunities to develop leadership skills. Tudor House became a Co-educational School In 2017. This handbook is designed to provide information that we trust will assist you in expanding your knowledge of the School and our day-to-day routines. I look forward to sharing with you, the responsibility for shaping your child’s future during this important stage of their learning journey. We invite you to become fully involved in our vibrant School Community.

Tudor House A – Z After School Care For Day Students P-6 Day students may join the Boarders in After School Care on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons from 3.30pm and Thursdays following sport at 4.30pm. Parents must inform the School Office on (02) 4868 0000 if they would like their son/ daughter to remain in After School Care. Charges – see Fee Schedule:

• 3.30pm – 5.00pm • 5.00pm – 6.00pm • 6.00pm Evening meal • Casual Boarding (min 2 nights). sgough@kings.edu.au

Arrival and Departure Times Weekday School Hours M, T, W, F 8.30am to 3.30pm, Thursday 8.30am to 4.30pm. Students are not permitted to be on School grounds before 8am each morning. This is to ensure that our students are kept safe by active supervision of staff. Students who are still at School after 3.30pm (except on Thursdays for sport) must be registered with the School Office for After School Care.

See Fee Schedule for charges.

Assemblies K-6 Students gather each Monday and Friday on Anderson Courtyard at 8.30am for Flag Parade. Year 3-6 students also gather on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings on Anderson Courtyard at 8.30am for Flag Parade. There is an Assembly on the first day of each term at 9.00am. A weekly Assembly takes place in the War Memorial Hall. Special Assemblies may occur during the course of the year and are noted in the School Calendar.

Attendance, School Absence In the case of a student’s inability to attend School, parents are asked to observe the following procedure: If your son/daughter is away from School, parents must log into KingsNet, click on the ‘Absence’ icon on their parent dashboard, complete and submit the online form. If arriving late or returning after sickness, parents must either email or send a note with their child, and, in the case of infectious diseases, a certificate signed by a doctor to say that he/she is out of quarantine. These notes and certificates are required by law. They must be handed to the School Office. Non-immunised students may be required to remain at home when the School has been notified of an outbreak of a vaccine preventable disease. In the case of another member of the family contracting an infectious disease, the consent of the Head of School must be obtained before a student returns to school. Any K-6 student who arrives after 8.30am should report to the Health Centre to obtain a Late Note. His/her name is then noted on the School Database. Once his/her name has been recorded he/ she will take the Late Notice to his/ her class teacher. If a student is absent on a Friday because of illness, the School needs to be notified about their availability for sport the next day.

Behaviour Management The School is required to manage behaviour in such a way that student and teacher ‘Rights and Responsibilities’ are maintained. Tudor House has adopted a levelled Behaviour Management Programme that aims to support these rights and responsibilities. It is intended that this management programme will ensure swift action, that the expected positive behaviour is reinforced and that parents are made aware of any behavioural difficulties. Students who receive three ‘red diary comments’ in a half term will be issued with a detention. These detentions are conducted by the Director of Students 9

and Community. During a detention, students will fill in a ‘Reflection Form’. The teachers will discuss, with each student, the reasons for their detention and suggest strategies to help them avoid future detentions. Students are also supported to consider how they might repair any relationship they have damaged in order to ‘make it right’. A notification of the detention will be placed in their Diary. If the student is a Boarder, parents will also be emailed. A bad comment has a short life! At each half and end of term, all such comments, ‘disappear’. Therefore, if a student has two bad comments in any half term period, he/she has the incentive to modify his/her behaviour so as to avoid a detention and loss of Colour points.

For more information about discipline matters, please see the School Diary and the Discipline Levels, at the end of this Handbook.

Bicycles Many Boarders and Day (Years 3-6) students keep bicycles at School. Undercover bike racks are provided. Every student must wear a helmet when on their bike. Students must ride their bikes in the same direction as traffic on School driveways. Students are responsible for the maintenance of their own bikes. Sharing of helmets or bikes is not permitted.

Birthdays Parents of Day students’ may wish to send small cakes/treats to School to mark their son/daughter’s birthday. Please be mindful that we are a nut aware School and we ask that you check the ingredients of any food sent into School to avoid allergic reactions. The Catering staff ensures that boarders have a celebratory cake to share with their friends on their birthdays.

Blue Bar This is an award that students can achieve by completing a range of challenging physical tasks (see the School Diary for more information).

Bus Services

Change Of Address

To request your child catch the bus, an email must be sent to tudor_bus@kings. edu.au

Any change of address, email or telephone number, either for home or business, should be sent in writing (or via email) to the School Office.

Berrima Buslines run school bus routes throughout the Southern Highlands. For specific information on bus routes please call Berrima Buslines on (02) 4871 3211. They can provide up to date information on route maps, timetables and connecting buses if required. Students will require a bus pass. You can apply for a bus pass online at: www.transportnsw.info/school-students The Tudor House Bus: The School currently runs a bus service transporting students who live between Wingello to Moss Vale. There is a termly charge to use this service. Please contact the Office (02) 4868 0000 for more information. Bus Behaviour: There is an expectation of acceptable behaviour while travelling on buses on School days. Please refer to the School Diary and Discipline Levels at the back of this Handbook.

Camps And Excursions All classes are involved in a number of excursions that are designed to support learning that takes place in the classroom. Some of these learning experiences will take place at School or further afield. All students in Years 2–6 are involved in overnight camps held during the year. Whilst these camps have educational outcomes, they are also an integral part of our Social and Leadership programmes. Information about uniform and requirements for camps/excursions will be sent to parents/carers prior to the event.

Cash

Chapel As outlined in our School Mission Statement, The King’s School, Tudor House is a Christian Community and as such, our weekly Chapel services are integral to the growth and flourishing of our Community. Each week, the whole School meets to hear from the Bible, to consider its application and ultimately to understand God’s grace and love. Chapel is an important part of School life. Our students attend one half hour Chapel service each week. Chapel services are generally led by the Director of Students and Community, Head of School or a local Minister. During the year there are special Chapel services, e.g. Remembrance Day and Foundation Day. A Carol Service is held at the end of the School year. Pre-Kindergarten students attend Chapel occasionally.

Charities Social action is an important aspect of Tudor House and students are encouraged to support charities. Each Colour House supports a selected charity for a term each year. On occasions, arrangements are made to help fundraise for a specific charity i.e. CanTeen Australia.

Co-Curricular Activities The School offers a variety of co-curricular activities at various stages during the year, e.g. sport, debating, swimming, tennis,

There are few opportunities to spend money at School and it is recommended that students not bring money to School, except in special circumstances. On such occasions it would be advisable for Day Students to hand their money to his/her Class teacher for safekeeping immediately on arrival. Boarders should give any cash brought to School to the Head of Boarding. Students are not permitted to sell articles to each other whilst at School. This includes fundraising via chocolate sales.

Casual Boarding To book Day Students (3 – 6 minimum two nights) into Casual Boarding please contact sgough@kings.edu.au 11

water polo, robotics, public speaking, poetry recitation, chess, music and choir. An equestrian programme is offered in partnership with Rosthwaite Farm, Moss Vale.

Colour House System Every student in K-6 is allocated to one of three Colour Houses, each with its own Colour Housemaster. These Colour Houses – Blue, Red and White – are major vehicles for pastoral care in the School. Vertical Colour families meet every second Friday for Personal Development/Health sessions with the Colour Housemaster and Colour House teachers. Years 3-6 Colour House groups also participate in hotly contested Colour Ball Games on alternate Fridays in the Gymnasium. Great rivalry exists between the Houses at such events as the Swimming, Athletics and Cross Country Carnivals. A House Competition exists across Tudor House incorporating results from sporting competitions, a class merit programme (White Cards) and through students’ Plus Scores and House Points. A student can also lose points for his/ her Colour House through Detentions. This Competition generates considerable excitement and House pride amongst the students, leading to the awarding of the Colour Cup at the end of each term at ‘Three Cheers’. Parents are welcome to attend ‘Three Cheers’. Staff are constantly looking to ‘Catch students doing right’ - and are able to award House points based on our 7 School Values. These points are given out to celebrate student success and to explicitly recognise and name positive contributions to our Community.

Communication There are various ways of communicating with the School. It is recommended that initially you meet with your child’s class teacher. Formal meetings are organised in advance, via your son/daughter’s Diary, by email or by phoning the School Office. The Head of School has an open communication policy and is more than willing to discuss issues of concern with parents. However, it is appropriate to initially discuss the matter with their Class teacher – unless it is a particularly serious matter or one involving General Policy.

Curriculum Tudor House School seeks to educate the whole person and bring them to their full potential, academically, physically, socially, creatively and spiritually. To this end, we provide a broad, balanced, contemporary curriculum providing an enriching School experience that is significant, challenging, engaging and relevant to the needs of each child. Tudor House is an authorised Primary Years Programme School (an International Baccalaureate World School). IB World Schools share a common philosophy – a commitment to high-quality, challenging, international education – that we believe is important for our students. The PYP focuses on the development of the whole child as an inquirer, both in the classroom and in the world outside. A balance is sought between the acquisition of essential knowledge and skills, development of conceptual understanding, demonstration of positive attitudes and taking of responsible action. Students learn through a conceptual lens as they investigate global issues. They inquire through six trans disciplinary

themes that transcend the confines of traditional subjects. With a focus on skill development, students are engaged in their Approaches to Learning. Curriculum is planned and delivered collaboratively across the School. A ‘Universal Design for Learning’ model supports quality differentiation in all learning environments. Where authentically relevant, a range of disciplines, including Science, History and Geography are integrated into the Units of Inquiry. This approach is balanced by providing explicit and differentiated learning experiences in the areas of Mathematics and Language. Students also attend Music, Visual Arts, Woodwork, Physical Education, Biblical Studies, Library and French classes, taught by our single subject teaching team. Information and Digital Literacy (Technology) is considered a tool to enhance learning and is fully integrated into the students’ learning experiences.

The IB Learner Profile describes a list of attributes that promote academic rigour and establishes a personal value system leading to international-mindedness. We seek to develop students who are Principled, Caring, Open-minded, Balanced, Reflective, Inquirers, Thinkers, Communicators, Risk-takers and Knowledgeable. At a discipline level, our curriculum contains the following elements:

ENGLISH

• Speaking and Listening (Communication)

• Thinking Imaginatively and Creatively • Expressing Themselves • Reflecting on Learning • Reading and Viewing, Writing and

Representing, Grammar, Punctuation and Vocabulary.

• Spelling • Handwriting and using Digital Technology.

The transdisciplinary themes are:

History Of Tudor House On 12 October, 1897, over 120 years ago, our founder, Mr Wildred Inman started a Preparatory School for boys based on the merits of a holistic education. The School’s earliest days were in Sydney’s Eastern suburbs

(Erowol, Bellevue Hill and later, Carrara, Vaucluse), moving to Hamilton House, Moss Vale in 1902, which was renamed Tudor House after the Inman family’s estate in England. Inman promoted a School that had at its core, the desire to open students’ minds to the amazing opportunities of life; such opportunities founded on the merits of sound teaching and learning. Tudor House students tread in the footsteps of many fine Old Tudorians. We’re all proud of the tremendous work of those who have guided the School through its history. There have been 15 Heads of School at Tudor House. Some at the School for only a short time and others serving the School for many years. Each has made a vital contribution, adding their own narrative to the Tudor House ‘pageant,’ (Tudor House, The First One Hundred Years. C Ashton, 1997). The School was bought by The King’s School in 1942. Our current Head of School, Mrs Anni Sandwell, commenced as the Head of Tudor House in 2017. The current Headmaster, Mr Tony George, appointed on 1 July 2017, is the 20th Headmaster of The King’s School, the sixth Australian and the fifth layman to hold the appointment. Mr George is a frequent visitor to Tudor House.

Homework The School sets homework for K-6 students during the week. For Years 2-6, this will usually be itemised in the Diary. Years 2-6 parents and or Prep supervisors are asked to facilitate a student’s home learning and to sign the Diary upon

completion of the set work. The following information provides an indicative guideline of the expected time a child might spend on homework tasks from Monday to Thursday:

KINDERGARTEN AND YEAR 1: 10 minutes per day home reading (including set reading) plus recreational reading.

YEAR 2:

15 minutes per day (including set reading) plus recreational reading.

YEAR 3:

approx. 60 – 90 minutes per week plus recreational reading.

YEAR 4:

approx. 60 – 90 minutes per week plus recreational reading.

YEAR 5:

approx. 90 – 120 minutes per week plus recreational reading.

YEAR 6:

approx. 90 – 120 minutes per week plus recreational reading. It is important that homework does not become a burden either for the student or his/her parents. Therefore, if he/she has honestly used the time allocated for his/ her homework, but has not yet completed the set tasks, his/her parents/Prep Supervisor should allow him/her to stop work. A note to this effect will be helpful for the teacher, in the Students Diary.

Information Computer Technology (ICT) The use of ICT as a tool, is embedded across the curriculum in all year levels and is used in the classroom. ICT is key to delivering a blended curriculum.

The students also use a number of educational programmes and websites, such as Mathletics, as part of their subject specific learning. Students at each level are expected to display age appropriate basic ICT knowledge, skills and understanding. Students have access to iPads, laptops and desktop computers.

Interviews And Reports A full School report for PK-6 students is provided at the end of Term 2 and Term 4. These contain teacher comments, and achievement and effort ratings. Pastoral comments are included in General Comments in the report. Evidence of learning is provided in the form of an electronic Portfolio or work samples on See Saw. There are Parent Teacher Information sessions in Term 1. Parents will be invited to attend a studentled conference during Term 2. The student led-conference gives the student the opportunity to take responsibility for their learning by sharing the process with their parent/carers. Students guide their parents/careers around their various School learning environments.

Location The School occupies 169 acres of grounds and bushland nestled in the Southern Highlands. This setting gives students space to move, play and explore, offering the benefits of a rural setting in relative close proximity to Australia’s largest cosmopolitan city.

Lost Property This is stored just inside the door of the Health Centre (“Quarter Deck”).

Medical Form If your child has any chronic condition (e.g. anaphylaxis, allergies, asthma), please include specific information regarding his/ her condition, including an Action Plan from their Doctor, if appropriate. Details about medical history, including eye and ear problems and vaccinations should be noted. Non-immunised students may be required to remain at home when the School has been notified of an outbreak of a vaccine preventable disease at School. The completed online Medical Form and Immunisation Record should be returned to the School Nurse at the Health Centre before Orientation Day. We understand that many of our students require medication during the School day. In all circumstances, this medication, clearly labelled with the original pharmacist’s instructions (dosage and frequency), is to be given to the School Nurse in the Health Centre. She will store the medication in a locked cabinet and oversee the taking of this medication. We also have a number of students who are asthmatic and these students require a

Management Plan from their doctor. A copy of this Management Plan must be given to the School Nurse in the Health Centre. All students who are asthmatic must also have their puffer at School. The number of students with anaphylactic allergies is on the rise. Many of these students are allergic to, amongst other things, nuts, and we encourage all families to refrain from bringing nuts and nut products into School. This will lessen the chance of one of these students coming into contact with nuts and having a reaction.

Message To Students If parents wish to get an URGENT message to students they should call the School Office. Administration staff will endeavour to get the message to students.

Music Music at Tudor House plays a unique part in the life of the School. All students attend classroom Music lessons. Application forms for private instrumental tuition may be obtained from the School Office. The School can currently offer tuition on the following instruments: Guitar, Drums, Flute, Percussion, Violin, Saxophone, Clarinet and Piano. Private lessons are given on a weekly basis and fees are invoiced directly by the Tutor. Four weeks’ notice is required to cease tuition. The School has some instruments for rent if need be, although parents are encouraged to buy an instrument after a year of tuition.

Pastoral Care The Anti-Bullying Policy and details are included in the School Diary and is available on The King’s School website. Pastoral Care underpins the educational environment at Tudor House. The potential of our students will only be reached when they are learning in an environment where they feel safe, secure and in which there are clear, known, consistent boundaries. It is the intention of this document to clearly outline the procedures, roles and responsibilities of teachers, students and parents in maintaining a positive, productive learning environment at Tudor House. A Bullying Awareness programme is provided by a specialised external service for students in Years 3–6.

P.E. All P.E. lessons are on a Thursday with specialised Physical Education teachers. Students wear P.E. uniform on Thursdays to and from School. Different skills and activities occur throughout the year to develop understanding and knowledge around Physical Education.

Phones A student may use the Office phone only if absolutely necessary and when directed by a member of staff. Mobile phones are not to be used at School and, if brought, must be handed to the Class teacher for safekeeping during School hours.

Plus Scores Plus Scores are issued at the end of each Term and are sent home to parents.

For further details, please contact Tudor House Music Department Mrs Sophie Richter on (02) 4868 0005 or srichter@ kings.edu.au

Name Tags We request that name tags be sewn on each article of clothing. This applies to underwear, handkerchiefs, socks, shoes, swimming costume, sports gear, sports shoes, etc. In fact, any article brought to School must be clearly labelled. Ink has not proven satisfactory, as it soon wears off. Please ensure that old name tags are removed from second-hand clothing.
