To maintain a good indoor climate, you must be aware of ventilating your room.
One of the biggest threats to a healthy indoor climate is dampness. The worst may be in the winter, where many close the windows and turn up the heat.

You have the responsibility to take care to maintain good indoor air quality of your own room, and in bathrooms when taking a shower. It is important, in terms of your health, to take care of the building / fixtures.

To combat a humid room and inconveniences in general, the paramount weapon is to ventilate, ventilate, ventilate!

Condensation on the inside of the window and the lower edge of the windowpane against the woodwork is a sign of high humidity.
We expect that you at least start and finish the day with airing out for five minutes at a time.
In addition, it is extra important to air out the room when the humidity increases.
In the event that there is condensation on the inside of the window and in the pane’s bottom edge, wipe it off with a dry cloth.
Also, remember to ventilate the bathroom after you have showered.

You must keep track of your own room.

Up to holidays, there is housecleaning, where the room should be cleaned, trash emptied, the window must be closed, the heat should be turned down and the lights off before you leave. If you do not keep a certain standard, you will be regularly checked by boarding school teachers.
In case of damage to equipment, etc., you will be required to pay the costs of repairing the damage.

At the Boarding School, we use social media, the internet and mobile phones and this is done with respect for other people and after carefulconsideration. Consequently, we do not accept any misconduct via these media.
Social media challenge the boundary for when the private becomes public, and the public becomes private.
The new technological possibilities lead to new ways of socializing. Although the potential of social media is great, so is the risk of losing control with the tone of communication, pictures, videos and everything else you may want to share.
Being subject to bullying via social media and/or having offensive pictures or videos posted against one’s will, may have significant psychological or social consequences and may affect the well-being and learning of the person

8. Contact and cooperation with parents

We emphasize the importance of a good contact between the Boarding School and the home of our students.

Depending on the need, we work closely together with the family to ensure that information is communicated. Parents are always welcome to contact the Head of Boarding School, the Boarding School staff and/or the Principal.

The Boarding School relies on the parents to familiarize themselves with the role of, and limitations applying for, the Boarding School staff, and that the parents from the beginning of the stay support the activities and norms of the staff.

Should parents persist in expressing a lack of confidence in the Boarding School or a lack of support for the work of the staff, the Boarding School reserves the right to terminate the stay at the Boarding School.

When applying for a Boarding School place, the parents declare themselves to be in agreement with the values, principles, and rules and regulations of the Boarding School.
By applying to the Boarding school, the student gives his/her consent, allowing any important information regarding their school attendance and stay at the Boarding School to be shared with parents/guardians. This applies irrespective of age.

We will continuously post relevant information on our website and send out information as required.
We strive to keep the school’s website www.nyborg-gym.dk updated with the latest news.
In addition, it is possible to follow life at the Boarding School via facebook: Nyborg Gymnasium – Kostskolen/The boarding school.

11A.1 THE BOARDING SCHOOL POSITION ON ALCOHOL, DRUGS AND OTHER INTOXICANTS:

The boarding school’s alcohol and drugs policy aims to prevent all students from becoming addicted to drugs and, consequently, not finishing their education successfully.

The use of alcohol and drugs carries a high health risk and results in inability to concentrate in school as well as physical and mental addiction.

The boarding school is the place where you live, while you take your education. The boarding school is a special place, as 150 young persons are living together. It gives us a special responsibility, and therefore we have a few but specific rules in relation to alcohol, drugs and other intoxicants.

We want to maintain a safe and responsible environment for those living at the boarding school, and therefore we expect you to have a sensible and responsible attitude towards alcohol. We will in no way tolerate drugs and other euphoriants as part of the culture and life at the boarding school, nor of life outside the boarding school.

11A.2  ALCOHOL

A stay at the boarding school requires that you have a sensible and responsible attitude to alcohol both at the boarding school and outside the boarding school area.

We also do not allow you to drink alcohol outside the boarding school on days up to a school day. This also applies to exam periods and is the same for everyone, whether you have a school day, an exam or not. You are part of the community at the boarding school and must display respect for yourself and the others by following the plan for school days and exam periods.

We have the rule that alcohol may not be consumed at the boarding school during the week and in the exam periods as well as days when there are events or a party at the school. It is forbidden even to keep wine, beer and spirits as well as empty alcohol containers at the boarding school. Fridays and Saturday’s alcohol can be consumed if the teacher on duty permits it. Boarders need to come with a list of those who will participate and in which room. If there are visitors, this must be reported at once to the responsible boarding school teacher. The teacher on duty will decide how many may attend and the amount of alcohol permitted. Wine, beer and soft drink alcohol are permitted alcoholic drinks. At 22.00 all should be cleaned up and there must be quiet. All alcohol and empty containers be removed at latest 10 .00 the next day. At the parties of the boarding school, the principal is the one who decides if alcohol can be drunk.

The types of alcohol that are allowed at the boarding school in moderate quantities are beer, wine and mixers (such as Bacardi Breezers).

The boarding school parties and events are only for boarding school students. Guests are not allowed to participate!

If there is reasonable suspicion of the presence of banned substances on the boarding school premises, and at occasional spot checks, security guards specially traind dogs will search the premises without prior warning. If the response of the dog gives management reason for closer inspection of a student or room, and the student does not vountarily wish to co-oprerate, then management will request the assintance of the police instead.

Each student is responsible for passing on the right information to the boarding school staff.

For more information: see the web page of Nyborg Municipality and/or contact the boarding school teachers.

14. Meetings and committees

The boarding school values a democratic structure of pupils’ committees. We find that it is important that the pupils have influence on the decisions which are made and which influence the daily life of the boarding school.

Every year we appoint committees of pupils and teachers whose focus is the daily well-being of the pupils, the introduction of new pupils, IT, parties, leisure time activities, and special arrangements. Meetings are held regularly in these committees as are meetings for all boarding school pupils and corridor meetings.

14.1 PUPILS’ MEETINGS

In the pupils’ meetings all pupils participate. They are convened at least once every three months by the head of the boarding school when they need to impart information to all pupils. The pupils’ meetings are held in the dining hall

Attendance is obligatory!

The pupils on each of the boarding school’s 6 corridors (yellow, blue, red, green, purple and orange) holds a number of meetings with the teacher attached to the corridor during the school year. The teacher will convene the meeting. At the meeting questions will be discussed and decisions taken with regard to the social life of the pupils of the corridor. Likewise, matters for further discussion in the Welfare Committee are taken up.
The pupils’ representatives take the minutes of the meeting and present them in the Welfare Committee.

Attendance is obligatory!

A pupil writes the minutes and the teacher puts them on Lectio. The members of the committee meet approximately once a month.

Attendance is obligatory!

15. The boarding school teachers’ team

Two things are essential for the life and work at the boarding school: One is respect for your studies at the gymnasium as your studies are the prerequisite for living at the boarding school. The other thing is the mutual tolerance and respect for your fellow boarders which is required for 200 young people to live beneath the same roof and feel good and at home. The individual pupil must feel safe and, at the same time, be secured good opportunities for personal development. These are things we believe in and wish to encourage. Freedom with responsibility might be considered an empty phrase by some, but at the boarding school we give meaning to the phrase.

In the values described above and in the rules of the boarding school the work of the five boarding school teachers is founded.

Every weekday from 14.00 until 08.00 in the morning on the following day, one from the boarding schools’ teachers’ team is on duty. In the weekends and in the holidays where the boarding school is open, the teachers are on duty all day and night.

The work schedule of the teachers can be found on the web page of the boarding school and in lectio.

The teacher on duty supervises the pupils when it comes to house rules, meals, and absence from school. Moreover, the boarding school teachers help with homework, personal issues, and other practical and social issues. Together with the pupils they plan activities at the school during the week and weekends and in connection with the traditions of the boarding school.

You can borrow keys from the teacher on duty for the different facilities at the boarding school, as well as board games and sports gear.

Thus, you can address the teachers on small and big issues: homework, practical matters, and personal problems.
