TuksSport High School’s Residential Programme is a programme that Rules and Regulations
has been designed with talented young athletes in mind.
To ensure the smooth running of the residence, a precise set of rules is

are requested to read the section on rules and regulations carefully.
The golden thread that binds our learners together is their shared
passion for sport. At TuksSport High, learners find companionship and We aim to provide a home from home for the learners of TuksSport

House Rules on page 9.
It is in the Res where they develop and understanding and tolerance for
the differences that exist between them, and an appreciation for each
other’s talents and strengths. Their mutual passion for sport is what
gets them out of bed at the crack of dawn for an early morning training
session – every morning!

younger learners something to strive towards.
The mentors assist in the day to day running of the residence. They do
various duties ranging from overseeing meals and study time, and doing
room inspections. They act as the first point of contact for learners Study
and will be the first to know about illnesses, injuries and incidents of
emotional turmoil. There are two formal prep sessions per day – the first session takes
place in school hours, and the second from 19:30 – 21:00. As the

contact details. effectively, or whose names are put on the compulsory study list by
teachers, lose this privilege and have to join the juniors in the study hall.
All learners must bring their diaries to the study hall, and must engage
with their school work for the duration of the session. They may not
read or sleep during this session, unless it’s from a prescribed literature
book. Homework books will be signed by the prefect or mentor on study
duty.
Effective study can only take place in an atmosphere of silence.
Talking, playing around and sleeping will not be allowed, and learners
who are guilty of this, will be disciplined. Group sessions will not be
allowed as this will disturb other learners.
Seniors who study in their rooms must keep their doors open during
this time. Should they be found out of their rooms, on their beds or
busy with anything else but their studies, they will lose the privilege of
studying in their rooms.

Lights Out
Learners have to be in their rooms at 21:15, and their lights and phones must be
switched off by 21:30.
All exit doors will be locked through a centralised system at 22:00 (lock-down) and
will be opened again at 05:00.
Rooms, roommates and bathrooms
The different residences have different room configurations. While most rooms
sleep two learners, some rooms make provision for up to four beds. The house
parents are responsible for allocating rooms, and they do so with care and
consideration of personalities, sports codes and training programmes. Should
learners wish to change rooms, they have to write a letter of motivation to the
house parents, who will take it into consideration.
A bedroom is a very personal space, and we want learners to personalise their
rooms by bringing their own bedding (sheets, pillows, duvets, etc.) towels as well
as a study lamp (for Huis Karee and Locker 4) and a dustbin. Learners should
bring along at least two sets of bed lined and rotate (and wash) them once a week.
They are also allowed to bring a small bar fridge, a mug and a kettle, as well as
rusks and snacks for those long nights of study! Please note that learners are
not allowed to prepare any food in their rooms as all three meals are provided for,
and as such no microwave ovens will be allowed either. Fan / panel heaters are
allowed in the rooms, but no bar heaters will be allowed as they present a fire risk.
Learners should bring along a chain and a lock to secure their cupboards, and
must at all times lock their rooms and cupboards upon leaving the room. We
will not be held responsible for the loss of any items (including money and cell
phones).
We encourage learners to keep their rooms tidy, as the state of one’s room
generally reflects one’s self-discipline and pride. A team of cleaners will sweep
and wash the floors on a daily basis, but learners are responsible for keeping their
rooms and bathrooms clean and tidy.
An unhygienic lifestyle not only encourages the spread of germs, it is also
disrespectful to others who live on the same floor. Learners will be placed on
bathroom duty should the mentor, prefect or house parent find the rooms or
bathrooms in an undesirable state.
5
Meals
To accommodate the different training times of the various sports codes, learners are not expected to line
up to have their meals at the same time, except at lunch time, as this meal is served during school time.
What is expected, though, is good dining room etiquette – also called good manners. TuksSport High
might be a sport school, but no sweaty kit may be worn at meal times. Learners should be fully dressed (no
pyjamas, slippers, or swimming costumes are allowed) and may not enter the dining area without shoes.
Caps and beanies are not allowed in the dining area either.
Although meal times are ideal times to socialise, learners must at all times behave in an orderly manner and
follow the 25-minute in-and-out rule. They may not play loud music, shout at one another across the table
or talk on their cell phones. Learners must sit according to Grades in the dining hall, when having meals.
We expect our learners to display good table manners at all times – just like they would at home. They
should be respectful and courteous to the canteen staff at all times.
All meals are served in the multi-purpose school hall which doubles up as a study hall in the evenings. One
of the challenges new boarders have to meet is the booking of meals. We follow a strict no book - no
meal policy, and learners who do not book for their meals, will not be able to move past the turnstile into
the serving area. The fingerprint scanner installed at the entrance to the serving area makes the booking
process easy, and learners can make up to a week’s bookings in advance.
The dining area is separate from the serving area, and learners have to collect their trays from the serving
area. Trays have to be placed on the tray trolley after meals, and learners must ensure that all their
crockery and cutlery is returned. Removing cutlery (knives, forks and spoons) or crockery (plates, bowls
or mugs) from the dining area is considered a serious offence, and learners will be disciplined should they
make themselves guilty of this transgression.
Learners who have been booked off from school, and who are too sick to come to the dining hall, should
inform the school office in the morning, so that arrangements can be made for the food to be taken to his /
her room.
Learners are expected to keep their tables tidy, and clean up after themselves if they spill any food or drink.
The dining hall is more than just a place to eat, it is a communal area where learners spend time with each
other. The dining area is also within plain sight of visitors and passers-by, and it is therefore important that
they show respect by keeping this area neat and tidy.
Eating outside in the picnic area is a matric privilege, and no other learners may eat outside. No eating may
take place in the amphitheatre unless the hall is being used for other events, such as exams.
