Section 8: Rooms and Facilities

Single Room Occupancy, Washrooms and Socializing Each student will have their own room. Washrooms will be shared, most between two students, but some between three to five students. Washroom schedules will be posted so that students are able to maintain physical distancing and all times. Students will be taught how to clean the washrooms after their use, especially the toilet areas. Our Housekeeping Staff will also clean each washroom in Boarding twice daily, including weekends. For the first two weeks of quiet life, students will not be allowed into other students rooms. After this time, and in consideration of the pandemic situation in our local community, students within each cohort may be allowed in each other’s rooms, as long as physical distancing measures of at least 1 metre are able to be observed. In order to maintain our cohorts, students will not be able to visit other Boarders on their floors and in their rooms outside of their grade level throughout the Fall Term. Students may—with permission from the Dons on Duty—go outside on campus grounds and visit with their Boarding friends in other Grade levels. However, Boarders must maintain physical distancing of 2 metres and wear face masks at all times. Student Rooms In order to maintain safety and security, students are required to keep their doors closed and locked when they are not in their rooms. It is the responsibility of students to always have their swipe cards and room keys on their person at all times. Students should not lend their swipe cards or keys to other students for any purpose. Students are also required to take care of the furnishings and fixtures in their rooms. Damage to rooms or room furnishings (including graffiti) will be repaired at the student’s expense. Students are asked not to rearrange furniture in their rooms without obtaining permission and assistance from the Staff. Students may decorate their rooms with posters and pictures. All posters must be put up with blue tack so the paint and walls will not be damaged. Scotch tape, masking tape and thumbtacks are not allowed. Command strips are also allowed for hanging objects. There is to be no drug or alcohol paraphernalia in rooms or in pictures or posters of any kind. Any materials deemed offensive or inappropriate will be removed. Vaping and

vaping products are strictly prohibited on campus at ​ all​ times. It is the student’s responsibility to maintain a clean and tidy room.
