Furthermore, students are not permitted to dye their hair unnatural colours or to cut their hair in a manner that would be distracting to students. Makeup is not permitted during class time or any time in which students have left campus wearing their uniforms (i.e., day fieldtrips.). Studs and small hoops in the ears are permitted for the females, but only one set of piercing, and they are to be the only visible piercing. Distracting or flashy jewellery is not to be worn during class time or at any point when the uniform is required.
2. All members of the VPS school student community are expected to sign a code of conduct at the beginning of each year. This states that they will:
~ be on time to class, meals and other school functions. Cafeteria doors shut 10 minutes after the start of each meal period. If you are late you will not be admitted. Meal times are as follows:
Breakfast – 6:00 to 7:00am
Lunch – 12:20 to 1:20pm
Dinner – 600 to 7:00pm.
~ be courteous, respectful, and considerate to others
~ respect teachers and other school staff
~ use appropriate language and behaviour
~ care for their personal belongings
~ show respect for other people's belongings
~ demonstrate care for the environment by keeping the school facilities neat and tidy
~ acknowledge and assist visitors at all times
~ recognize the impact of positive role modeling on other students, especially the younger students at the school
All of these expectations apply both in and out of the residence, without exception.
3. While under School Supervision, students are subject to the same expectations of behaviour as apply during the school day. "Under School Supervision" includes all times that a student is sponsored or under the care of the School, events sanctioned by the School, and during the entire time of their residence on campus with the School acting in loco parentis. "Under School Supervision" also covers students traveling to and from the School, on and off campus, on all School run activities such as field and class trips, athletic competitions, dances, etc., whether they take place during the school day or after hours, and any time in School Uniform.
4. Every effort will be made to help students to learn appropriate and responsible behaviour. There are however, certain behaviours and actions that will not be tolerated. Any student who persistently infringes upon the rights of other students to enjoy the benefits of the School may be asked to leave. This includes disruption in class, or on school grounds, physical or verbal bullying, or harassment, or any other form of disruptive anti-social behaviour. Additionally, cheating on examinations or plagiarizing assignments or parts of them is not tolerated and grounds for expulsion. A final decision for dismissal rests with the Head of School. Remember, all students are under School rules when traveling to and from the School at the beginning and end of holidays or weekend leave, or on school sanctioned or sponsored trips or activities.
5. Students must live in one of six residences. Upper School Residences are Asher and Merritt Halls for the boys, Bowen and Granville Halls for the Students. Lower School Residences, which they share with Lower School teaching staff, are Kirkbride Hall for the boys and Fuller Hall for the girls. Students are assigned two to a room with the exception of Grade 12's, prefects or house captains who have the option of a private room. No students of the opposite sex are allowed into the other’s dorms, with the exception of family after curfew, which varies by grade. Dedicated residential staff ensures the smooth and safe running of the residences and are directly responsible to the Director of Residential Life for the welfare of the students. The "on-duty" staff member is always listed on the board in the entrance to the house office and carries a cell phone so that he or she may be located quickly in an emergency.
6. Students may bring posters, pictures or other items to make their room more like home. Computer labs are available for use with full internet access as well as access to a web cam and printers to help keep in touch with home. Students are encouraged to bring their own computer or laptop if they wish; it can be a valuable tool. Students may bring sports equipment to the school, such as a hockey stick, tennis racket, bicycle, ice skates and roller blades. All Students are responsible for tidying their own rooms on a daily basis. This involves making the bed and keeping the floor and desk clear of clutter. Room inspections will be carried out regularly. Any student caught with alcohol and/or drugs in dorm rooms will face the consequences, ranging from detentions to possible expulsion from VPS.
7. Laundry is done for the students three times per week for clothing, bedding and towels. Students are responsible for taking their laundry bag to the laundry drop-off on designated days and it will be returned to their assigned cubby area at the end of the day.
8. Grades 10, 11 and 12 can sign out as they wish as long as they do not have a class but they must sign in for dinner at 6:00 pm. After dinner they must be back by 11:00pm, or Midnight for Grade 12. On the weekends the return times still apply unless they have permission from the Director of Residence. In all cases they must make note of how long they will be gone before they leave campus. Abusing this privilege will result in it being revoked. For those who do not have the option to leave, or would prefer to shop on campus, toiletry items, such as toothpaste, soap and shampoo and other items are all available in the School Shop that is open when students are in attendance.
