Year 9 Some parents ask about town Leave. If boys have leave to go down the street, it is usually for some specific purpose. Many of them, like 90% of young people in Dunedin it seems, want to walk along George Street for a time and meet at McDonalds, eat hamburgers and meet friends (or would-be friends) from Columba, St Hilda's and elsewhere. As a general rule, I am happy for our boys to do this, provided that they are responsible, trustworthy and abide by the rules. If you do not want your son to have Town Leave for this sort of thing, please contact me directly. Every boy should feel safe, happy and at home in the boarding house. Bullying or intimidation whether physical, verbal or otherwise, will not be tolerated. Please contact me directly if you think there are any issues that we need to deal with. Murray Munro Parent Approval Form Here at John McGlashan Boarding House we want to create a boarding environment that enables students to enjoy a recreational life as close as possible to that provided in their own home. As an institution however, we carry a high level of responsibility and accountability for the safety of boarders to an extent that exceeds that of parents. We must accord to the level of ‘reasonable parents', not ‘ordinary parents'. This naturally leads us to feel cautious in what we can permit boarders to do. This form is an endeavour to strike a balance between your and our responsibility, thus preventing excessive restrictions on what your son can do. Please take time to consider these issues and contact the housemaster should you have any questions or concerns. |
