H. Parents’ Responsibilities

1. The possession and consumption of drugs (including marijuana but excluding alcohol and tobacco products which are mentioned below), of any nature, either at Le Rosey or during weekends and holidays. Drug tests are obligatory and may take place at any time. Any attempt at cheating during the course of a drug test is considered an admission of guilt.

2. Leaving a building without authorization between coucher (lights out) and lever (wake up).

7. Smoking. Le Rosey requires students not to smoke, consume or to be in possession of tobacco products either on or off campus (including e-cigarettes and shisha smoking, etc.). All students who request it can benefit from a support programme to help them give up.

8. The failure to observe safety rules, particularly during expeditions, excursions or sporting activities; the use of matches or lighter or having a naked flame in school premises; setting off a fire alarm by accident or through negligence.

14. Infringement of Swiss law.

Le Rosey • Codes 2023-2024 3

3. Harassment can be online, within a romantic or friendly relationship. It can take the form of verbal, psychological, physical or sexual abuse.

4. Any form of bullying or harassment, in person or online, must be reported to the Committee in light cases and to an adult in more serious cases. It will always be dealt with through dialogue, punishment or a disciplinary council depending on the circumstances and in absolute transparency with the victim.

This includes vitamin and protein supplements. Steroids, creatine supplements and all performance enhancing drugs are forbidden.

3. All medical appointments in Switzerland are made by the healthcare administrator; for appointments outside Switzerland parents must first consult the doyen so as to keep disruption to the child’s school life to a minimum. A medical report or certificate must be given to the school following such appointments.

Le Rosey • Codes 2023-2024 4

8. Boarding house teachers will take care to ensure that all students have a proper night’s sleep. In the fifteen minutes preceding lights out students are strongly encouraged to read, and the use of electronic equipment of any sort is forbidden until wake-up. Failure to observe this last point will result in the confiscation of the equipment involved for as long as deemed appropriate by the Head of House. This could be definitive depending on the circumstances.

13. Students must stay in groups of at least three when off campus.

14. Instructions as to the procedure to be followed in case of fire are given every term. Teachers’ instructions must be followed.

C-3 Dress Code

The Rosey Dress Code distinguishes between different times of the day and activities, and prepares Roséens for the different expectations of dress in adult life. It allows students to express their individuality and convictions while respecting the rules below.

The Dress Code varies according to the time of day:

1. The Dress Code for formal school events (such as fêtes, conferences etc.) and certain off-campus visits is “school uniform”.

4. The Dress Code during the Academic Block (from 8am to 3.30pm) is “comfortable and correct” with students wearing clean, casual clothing, showing a respect for the essential business of academic study (see below). An unbroken line of clothing must cover the students from the shoulders to the ends of the arms stretched out alongside the body. Teachers will sanction students if the dress code is not respected. Details are as follows:

Authorized:
• long trousers or traditional jeans neither faded, fringed nor torn; for girls, reasonably long skirts, dresses or shorts• a shirt tucked into the trousers, or a polo shirt, or for girls an elegant blouse or top (but not a T-shirt) covering both midriff and shoulders; a pullover or jacket if necessary.

2. The relationship between adults and pupils is based on classical standards of politeness. Pupils should stand when adults enter a room, and they should stand aside to let them pass; pupils should not speak with their hands in their pockets, while wearing earphones or without removing headwear. Pupils must stand if the adult they are conversing with is also standing. Vocabulary must be free from swear words.

3. Manners on campus should be marked by courtesy: one greets people politely in the morning; doors should be held open for the person following; one avoids vulgar language; toilets are left clean. Visitors to the school should be welcomed with courtesy and warmth, and, if necessary, taken to the reception.

Le Rosey • Codes 2023-2024 6

4. The weekend begins at midday on Saturday. Students whose Study Group status (see E-2) allows them to leave campus on Friday cannot do so before 6.15pm.

9. With the permission of their Director of Boarding, Juniors and Cadets whose parents live close to the school may spend Wednesday and Sunday evening and night at home. This status of “local boarder” does not exist for those in class 3 and above.

10. Students whose parents are visiting Switzerland may be allowed to dine with them during the week. They may invite one other student to accompany them during the week and up to two at the weekend.

C-7 Bedrooms and Personal Belongings

1. Pupils are forbidden to keep a sum of money greater than a month’s pocket money, jewellery, expensive watches and objects even in their individual safes.

6. Exceptionally, in the case of repeated thefts for example, the directors of boarding may, with the authorisation of the general direction, and for a limited period of time (a few days), film public areas (corridors, staircases) of boarding houses. They are the only ones with access to the images, which are immediately deleted as soon as the surveillance ends.

Le Rosey • Codes 2023-2024 8

D-1 Minor Sanctions

D-4 Confiscation
If a student is seen to be using his or her phone, computer, etc. inappropriately during the academic block or study hall, it may be confiscated by any teacher and handed to the appropriate Doyen or the Directors of Boarding who will inform the student of when it will be returned.

D-5 Weekend or Wednesday afternoon Blocking
A weekend blocking signifies that a student may not leave the campus at the weekend (or on a Wednesday afternoon). A blocking is usually the result of the failure to complete or submit an academic assignment. A student will be blocked for an early weekend departure or late arrival.

D-7 Restrictions
Given by a director or doyen, a half-restriction entails the suspension of all sorties and privileges for a Saturday or Sunday as decided by the Director of Boarding; a full restriction applies to the whole weekend. For example, students over the age of 16 discovered smoking receive a restriction; if they are caught a second time, they receive two restrictions. In all cases they are also subject to a duty of care. Any further infractions lead to a conseil de discipline.

D-8 Academic Council
At the request of the Tutor, the Head of House, the Guidance Counsellor or the doyen, an Academic Council is convened when a student falls repeatedly below academic expectations or is in serious academic difficulty. The Council assembles the above as well as any teachers concerned. It makes a complete review of the pupil’s situation, gives advice, and may impose sanctions. An official letter is sent to the parents.

E. Timetable and Academic Organisation

E-1 Three principles govern the timetable:
Priority is given to academic work.

• except in case of illness certified by a school nurse, absences from class may only be authorized by the doyen (such as sports events, field trip, “Honour Day off”, etc.); all other activities giving rise to absence from class figure on the calendar

• only two evenings per week (Monday to Friday included) without study are permitted (see also privileges and restrictions linked to study groups)

1. The academic year is divided into three terms with the first and third terms containing two vingtaines (periods of 5-6 weeks). Academic grades are reported numerically at the end of each term. At the end of the vingtaines in October and May a progress report with comments but without grades is issued. Both vingtaine progress and termly graded reports are mailed to parents and can be consulted on the parents’ website.

2. Review Assessment Tests will be held during the first term until Class 3. Classes 2 and 1 have a session of examinations in December; class t/T in January. The whole school has exams in June at the end of academic year, assessing the work done throughout the year.

6. Promotion to the following year depends on the student obtaining an average grade of 4 and meeting all requirements of the

Sports-Arts-Tech programme (FB: 10); if promotion is not immediately accorded, the doyen in collaboration with teachers and Direction will decide whether:
• promotion is conditional on studies carried out over the summer followed by exams in September
• promotion is conditional on obtaining pass marks in September exams
• the pupil should repeat a class (this may happen only once throughout a student’s time at Le Rosey)
• the pupil should not be re-admitted to Le Rosey at the beginning of the next academic year.

3. For Cadets and Jeunes Seniors, the same criteria are adjusted to grade students’ attitude in the boarding house, towards sport, the arts and extra-curricular activities. The relative weight and time accorded to sports, arts and activities is determined by the student’s choice of one of three “Passports” at the beginning of the term (see E-8).

4. The Approach to Learning and School Life grades are converted to an overall percentage which determines the Eagle group

*** According to the doyen which may restrict the number of weekends allowed. Cadets – whatever their Study Group – may be on weekend with their parents from 6pm on Friday onwards.

Le Rosey • Codes 2023-2024 13

4. To obtain a Pre-Bac Bilingual Diploma at the end of Class 2, students must:
• Follow a bilingual programme at least in class 2
• Have obtained an annual grade of at least 4 in the L2 subjects
• Have participated in at least two special events or regular extra-curricular activities in the L2 in class 2 and in class 3 • The diploma will include a “cum laude” classification for those students who have shown particular effort and a noteworthy ease in the two languages. The decision to award “cum laude” is taken by the doyen and will be based on elements such as DELF, the nature of the bilingual programme and overall grades.

E-5 Academic Honesty

Le Rosey • Codes 2023-2024 14

E-6 Academic Ambition

1. Academic ambition is recognized and rewarded:
• through the Eagle Group system
• by an invitation to join the Academic Enrichment programme
• preference in invitation to participate in Honour Trips.

1. Teachers check attendance for every class and note absences (through the Intranet), justified or not.

2. Classes begin on time; late arrivals are sanctioned directly by the teacher. Classes finish when the bell rings; teacher and students will leave the classroom in an appropriate state. If the teacher arrives late for any reason, students should wait for a minimum of ten minutes before assuming that he or she is absent.

6. Food and drink are not allowed in class.

7. Students have access to an electronic agenda on the Intranet where teachers note homework or prep electronically under “devoirs” or Managebac: this is regularly checked by the Tutor.

Before the start of the term, Roséens will choose at least two “Core” activities, which are protected from any timetable clashes with other activities. Except in exceptional circumstances, it is not possible to change “Core” after the first lesson.

2. Involvement, attitude and effort in each area of the programme are assessed each marking period and the evaluation taken into account in the establishment of Eagle groups.

3. On Friday evenings, group sorties with a teacher (or, in the case of Cadets, with a Committee member) and activities organized by the Comité are permitted. Check-in is at 10.30pm (10pm for Cadets or 10.30pm for local Jeune Senior sorties). All other students spend quiet time in their boarding houses.

4. Cadets in Unsatisfactory group or those with no study before dinner and with academic work are required to do study hall; others, if their work is finished, have a choice of activities four evenings per week.

1. An Apple laptop computer is required for academic work from Class 5 onwards. It is the responsibility of each student to back up his or her data and to install suitable antivirus software.

2. Students are asked to exercise caution when connecting to social networks and they undertake never to post information which could harm or distress anyone or which would allow their whereabouts to be determined.

• Revealing account passwords to others or allowing unauthorized use of accounts by others. Every user is responsible for anything under their account and name.

• Downloading or copying of copyrighted material.

• Unsolicited email messages including “junk mail” or other advertising material.

c. Rosey account (O365 Email, OneDrive, Office suite)
• Student accounts remain active 2 year after the departure from Le Rosey, after which all documents and emails will be deleted.

No screens are allowed during a test without the express permission of the teacher concerned.

The sports fields and dining rooms are tech-free zones at all times.

Classes 5 to 1:
• phones remain in bedrooms during the day between 8am and 7:30pm, except for off campus excursions or activities.

Classes 5 to 2:
• all devices that can be connected to the Internet should be left in a special charging trolley 30 to 15 minutes before coucher.

1. Class terminal has the following privileges mentioned in point C-6.

2. Saturday mornings are set aside for ACT tests, SATs, TOEFL, supervised assigned work, work on University applications (in first term), and special IB or BF requirements.

H. Parents’ Responsibilities

• We know how difficult it is for parents to accept the concept of “One Rule for All”. It is nevertheless essential for balance in community life and for creating a sense of equal treatment. Every “special request”, such as a postponed sanction, an early weekend or holiday departure, appears innocuous: yet multiplied many times over by dozens of families, it makes community life impossible to manage.

• Instantaneous communication between parents scattered across the world and their children at Le Rosey represents enormous progress, allowing close family ties and a greater sense of security. There are, however, other, less manageable consequences: students can become less independent, they can take longer to settle in, a barrier between school and student can appear, and rapid emotional reactions can be encouraged.
