What parents need to know about calls, visits, money and conduct.

- Parents and guardians may meet their wards every second Saturday from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m., and may take them home every fourth Saturday after the Parent-Teacher meet. Entry, exit and meetings are not permitted after 6 p.m.
- Parents may meet class teachers at the Parent-Teacher meet, every fourth Saturday from 9 a.m. to 12 noon.
- Visiting parents must not enter the boarding house without the prior approval of the Director Boarding. The boarding houses are the private home of the school community.
- Outings: parents, guardians, or those authorised by the parents may take their wards out on the days the school prescribes.
- During breaks, parents must come to the school and accompany their children home.
- All correspondence to and from students is handled by the Director Academic.

- Parents are advised not to leave valuables in the possession of their children.
- No pupil may buy, sell or exchange goods, or lend or borrow money, on campus without the approval of the Director Boarding.
- Parents are asked not to send food packets; anything received is shared among all the students.

- The school takes every precaution for the safety of children but cannot be held responsible for injury suffered during games, sports, camping or other activities.
