At Spinifex Residential Campus we encourage and respect individuality, however, it is essential to follow a routine in boarding. A routine is an advantage because everyone is treated equally and there is a sense of predictability in decision-making that aids security and safety.
Arrival at the beginning of term or school year:
- Boarders are required to return to the residential boarding facility on the first day of the school term, to commence school the following day on the first available flight or form of transport available
- Spinifex Residential rosters staff on the day before term begins so that students can access their education from day 1 of the academic term
- Arrival time will be provided to parents/carers before the end of each term and for the beginning of the school year
- A parent/carer meeting will be held for all new students and their parent/carer to ensure all forms are signed and completed, fees paid and any other tasks finalised
- Departure at the end of term:
- It is an expectation for students to be at the residential boarding facility until the end of each term. Early departure must be approved by the School Principal and is also dependent upon flights and availability of transport such as buses
- Students must depart no later than 4:00 pm on the final day of term. There will not be any staff or security arrangements in place after this time.
- Students are to take all their belongings home at the end of each term (unless prior arrangement is made with the Head of residential boarding facility)
