Private Study Time Guidelines

v           Where numbers permit or when requested by Librarian / Supervisor, students should sit one to a desk / carrel

v           Students should respect the right of others to study in a quiet, noise free environment

v           Students should realise that it is difficult to focus on their own study, if they are talking or being disruptive

v           Personal listening devices may be used but only if not audible to others – remember your prime purpose, and that of your fellow students, is to make productive use of study time

v           Mobile telephones may be used to listen to music (see Personal Listening Devices above) but they are not to be used for the making or receiving of calls

v           Students going to Privilege Periods / Prefect Room / Computer Suites etc. may do so only at the beginning of a period and then only after ‘signing out’ with the Librarian / Supervisor

v           Students in Library / Study Hall need to ask permission before leaving during a period – valid reasons need to be given

v           Students should keep their study area neat and tidy

- binning waste paper and any other rubbish

v           Students may bring bottled water to drink during Private Study.

Please note that the Library / Study Hall is not the place for the consumption of other drinks or snacks

v           Students should be aware that those who persist to abuse Private Study privilege or continue to behave in an  inappropriate manner may be removed from the Library / Study Hall and be required to study under supervision in a classroom
