FAIRMONT HIGH SCHOOL POLICY ON THE USE OF CELLULAR
TELEPHONES, OTHER ELECTRONIC DEVICES AND SOCIAL MEDIA
(AT SCHOOL)
1. Preamble
Fairmont High School realizes that part of the 21st century is adapting to the changing methods of
communication. The proliferation of the ownership and usage of the cellphones and other electronic
devices, and the increasing sophistication of its derivatives in its various guises, makes it necessary for
the usage of these devices to be ordered, controlled and monitored by, in and through school. The
purpose of this policy is to help preserve and foster a safe, non-disruptive educational environment for
effective teaching and learning, to maintain and foster order and discipline, to deter learners from
actions detrimental to themselves, their peers or the general value systems embraced by the school,
and to achieve these objectives consistent with the law.
2. Legal Basis
The school has built its policy on the following premises:
2.1 Given the need for school safety and the protection and well-being of individual learners, the
authority of the school to conduct searches is held to pre-empt an individual learner’s right to
privacy. Consequently, school officials are empowered to conduct searches of a pupil’s property
when there is reasonable suspicion that s/he may be in violation of a school rule, a policy or the
law.
2.2 All school-related property is subject to search at any time. School-related property includes,
but is not limited to, computers, cellphones and related or similar devices and items used during
or in the support of education-related programmes or activities, and in respect of this policy is
deemed to include also privately owned devices brought onto the school property or to any
school, school sponsored or school related activity or function.
2.3 Before undertaking a search of any privately owned device however, the school official
performing such search must have a reasonable suspicion that the learner has indulged in an
action which violates the law, a school rule or policy.
2.4 ‘Reasonable suspicion’ may be created by firsthand eyewitness observations or reports,
information from a normally reliable informant, and suspicious behaviour.
3. Acceptable Usage
The following list, which is neither exhaustive nor exclusive, provides examples of practices which
are deemed acceptable in terms of this policy:
3.1 The authorised and monitored use of handheld devices like cellphones, iPhones, BlackBerrys,
iTouch and other electronic devices in order to enhance classroom learning with instructions
from the teacher in the classroom.
3.2 Parental contact with children before and after school hours and during breaks.
3.3 Tracing of the whereabouts of family members and friends, lift-givers and the like during the
allowed time slots when these handheld devices can be on.
3.4 The rescheduling of lifts or extracurricular activities – for example, in the light of changed
weather conditions, unforeseen delays or earlier than expected ending of activities during the
allowed time slots when these handheld devices can be on.
3.5 The enhancement of classroom notes, e.g. by means of recording a teacher’s lessons and
snapping a picture of the board PROVIDED THIS IS AUTHORIZED IN ADVANCE BY THE
TEACHER.
3.6 The taking of pictures of own projects to show to parent(s)/guardian(s), thus allowing them to
be involved in group class activities.
3.7 Communication during an emergency situation, e.g. in order to reach the authorities or a
medical provider.
4. Unacceptable Practices
The following list, which is neither exhaustive nor exclusive, provides examples of practices which
are deemed unacceptable in terms of this policy:
4.1 Disrupting academic time: e.g. by allowing the ringing of cell phones or the sending or
receiving of text messages during class or updating or checking your status on various social
media platforms during class time. Learners may use their cell phones/electronic devices before
school until the first bell at 07.55. Thereafter cell phones/electronic devices must be switched off
until first break where calls/messages may be received outside the school building and
corridors. In the remaining sessions on either side of the second break the same rule applies.
Learners are free to use their cell phones after 14.35 Monday to Fridays.
4.2 The theft, borrowing, using, breaking, damaging, defacing, hiding, removing or going into the
memory or storage capacity of a cell phone or electronic device belonging to someone else.
4.3 Sending hoax bomb or other threats so as to avoid or condense class time, or disrupt tests or
exams.
4.4 The use of cell phones to gain an advantage or break or circumvent exam rules or procedures.
4.5 Alerting miscreants to the presence/approach of the principal, a teacher or other disciplinary
officer.
4.6 The use of a cell phone in the selling or distribution or procurement of drugs or other banned or
illegal substances, the dissemination of threats, cyber-bullying or harassment, unwanted text
messaging, or the arrangement or co-ordination of anti-social activities.
4.7 The taking, viewing or distribution of inappropriate photos, making video clips of fighting,
capturing inappropriate sexual behaviour of learners or downloading inappropriate images from
the internet.
4.8 The provoking of a teacher and then capture and circulate the resultant response.
4.9 The playing of music through sound amplification equipment. Music can only be listened to
through earphones and for the individual learners’ pleasure.
4.10 Publishing, posting, distributing or disseminating material or information that Fairmont High
School determines is threatening, harassing, illegal, obscene, defamatory, slanderous, unlawful
or hostile towards any individual or entity. This includes the spreading of rumours and
misinformation.
4.11 Publishing, posting, distributing or disseminating material or comments that infringes on the
rights and privacy of Fairmont High School or any individual or entity. This includes personal
attacks or comments disparaging an individual or group.
4.12 Learners who chose to submit content onto websites or other forms of online media must ensure
that their submission does not reflect poorly upon the school and bring the name of the school
into disrepute.
5. Bringing Cellphones and Electronic Devices to School
Within these parameters, pupils are allowed to bring cellphones to school on the understanding that:
5.1 The use of cell phones and electronic devices at school is a privilege which may be forfeited by
any pupil not abiding by the school’s Code of Conduct or the stipulations of this policy.
5.2 Learners are personally and solely responsible for the security of their cell phones and
electronic devices. Not the school, the staff nor the education department will assume any
responsibility for theft, loss, or damage of a cell phone or electronic device, or any unauthorised
use thereof.
5.3 There will be no use of a cell phone or electronic device in any manner whatsoever during
class time or in classrooms, except where such usage is specifically authorized by teachers for
legitimate educational purposes, as part of lesson plans and/or academic programmes. Such
usage is at the sole discretion of the supervising teacher, who is responsible for monitoring,
controlling and overseeing such usage.
5.4 The use of a cell phone or electronic device to capture, store or transmit unauthorized
pictures, or undesirable, illegal or pornographic material is strictly prohibited on the school
premises, during school sponsored or educational activities or outings, or while travelling to and
from school or school sponsored outing or activities, again except where such usage is
specifically authorized by teachers.
Such authorization will normally only be granted for legitimate, broad educational purposes, as
part of lesson plans and/ or academic, sporting, cultural or service programmes. Such usage
will be permitted at the sole discretion of the supervising teacher, who will be responsible for
monitoring, controlling and overseeing such usage.
5.5 Use for purposes other than those listed above (e.g. to contact the home, to reschedule lifts,
etc.) may be granted by a teacher or the responsible duty teacher in the discipline control room.
5.6 Use of cell phones or electronic devices before the beginning of the school day, or after its
conclusion, will not be controlled by the school, with the proviso that no provisions of the
school’s Codes of Conduct are broken, and no actions referred to in point 4 (sub-points 4.1 to
4.12 inclusive), nor 5.3, nor any other inappropriate actions, are undertaken consequent on the
use or possession of a cell phone or similar device.
6. Ownership and Privacy
6.1 In order to manage the wellbeing and safety of all who are part of the school, and to maintain the
integrity of school systems, the school reserves the right to check on usage and content
(including by random monitoring) of any files, messages, pictures, images or similar which are
created, received, stored, transferred to, viewed, read, sent from or received using a cell phone
or other device present on school property, at a school or school sponsored function or activity,
or on the way to school or school sponsored activity, regardless of whether the device was
actually used on school property, at a school function or not.
6.2 Access to the worldwide web, e-mail services, the internet and school servers at this school are
filtered and managed in-house. Communication via e-mail on the school system cannot
therefore be regarded as private, and the same conditions apply to messages, data or images
on any cell phone or similar device brought to, found at or used on or in close proximity to the
school premises, at school, or during school or at a school or school sponsored function or
activity.
6.3 It is a condition of the use of the permission granted in terms of this policy that the school has the
right to investigate the e-mail or account and equipment, including cell phones and similar
devices, and also social networking domains such as Facebook and Twitter, of any user who,
in the opinion of the principal or his/ her delegate, which opinion shall be based on reasonable
suspicion and/or first-hand eye-witness reports, might be transgressing the rules or the spirit of
this policy.
6.4 In the event of any part of this policy being transgressed by a pupil or other person using the
equipment brought to school or a school or school sponsored activity or belonging to or in the
possession of a pupil at school or a school or school sponsored or school-approved activity, the
following sanctions may be applied:
• Any staff member who sees a learner using a cell phone in contradiction of the
specifications of this code shall confiscate the device and hand it in reception for
safekeeping. Date, time, name of learner, name of teacher who confiscated the device,
name of the owner of the cell phone and reason for the confiscation must be handed to the
front office for recording. Details of evidence of inappropriate content must be reported to the
Deputy Principal.
• If it is suspected, based on reasonable grounds, first-hand, eyewitness reports or clear
evidence that anyone is using a cell phone in contradiction of any of sections 4.3 to 4.12 and
5.3 of this code, those authorised to do so by the principal will be expected to intervene and
inspect the contents of the device to determine whether it has been or is being used for a
purpose which is contrary to school policy.
6.5 Should such evidence be found, it must be reported to the deputy principal, who may take the
matter further, either through an internal disciplinary process, or by reporting it to other
authorities, including the School Governing Body, the school counsellor, a social worker, the
education department or the police.
6.6 When handheld devices like cell phones, iPhones, BlackBerrys, iTouch or other electronic
devices are confiscated from a learner, the following sanctions will apply:
• 1st offence the device will be confiscated, parent(s)/guardian(s) will be contacted and will
be required to retrieve the device from the school.
• 2nd offence the device will be confiscated, parent(s)/guardian(s) will be contacted and will
be required to retrieve the device from the school. A final warning letter will be issued and
three Friday detentions must be made up by the learner.
• 3rd offence the device will be confiscated, parent(s)/guardian(s) will be contacted and will
be required to retrieve the device from the school. The learner accompanied by his/her
parent(s)/guardian(s) will be required to attend a disciplinary hearing.
Failure to abide by this Policy, as with other policies at Fairmont High School, may result in disciplinary
action as described in the school’s Code of Conduct and School Rules.

URGENT NOTICE FOR ALL PUPILS
 NO pupils will be allowed to go home early on any day or after a test without a written letter
from the parent requesting this. No emails!
 Permission for going home early will only be allowed for emergencies.
 If a pupil is too sick to stay for the full day after a test, then they must not
come to school to write, but must provide the school with a medical
certificate.
PLEASE NOTE!
All pupils are required to be at school at the regular time - 07h55 - even if they are not writing a
test. This time will be used for consolidation or tasks organized by various subject departments.
All parents are asked to please be aware that when your child misses a Monday or a Thursday
test, a letter from the parent and the relevant chemist slip (the date on the slip must pertain to the
pupil’s absenteeism and medication bought), a certificate from the clinic or a doctor’s certificate is
required. A medical certificate from either the clinic or the doctor is applicable for missing any
exam. A note from you excusing your child from school for the days missed (not test days) is also
required.
Grade 9 and Matric pupils must produce a doctor’s certificate for tests and exams missed as
these are the two exit phases and their marks are externally moderated by the Education
Department.
Learners are not allowed to go home immediately after a test if they are ill. They have to stay until
first break. If they are ill, then they should not come to school. A doctor’s certificate will be
required.
3) DRUG & SUBSTANCE ABUSE POLICY
15. DRUG & SUBSTANCE ABUSE POLICY
The Government Notice No 1040, South African Schools Act (84/1996), declares all schools
drug free zones. This means no substance abuse, possession of illegal drugs on school premises
or being at school under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs, is allowed.
Substance abuse/ illegal drugs means any unlawful, intoxicating or stupefying substances, these
include tobacco, substances generated from electronic cigarettes, alcohol, prescription drugs,
dagga and other hard drugs.
Substance abuse is prohibited and severe action will be taken against perpetrators. However,
those who admit to having problems with substance abuse will be helped and counselling will be
made available.
If a learner has in his /her possession any of the abovementioned at school, on a school outing or is
identified as a Fairmont High School learner, that learner will be punished, even more so if he/ she
is under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
15.1 Purpose and Scope
The aim of this policy is to encourage all learners to abstain from using any drugs (other than
those which are medically prescribed), including alcohol and tobacco. This document should be
given to each learner and his/her parent(s)/guardian(s) are required to sign it as acknowledgement
that they have read and understood it, and that they have agreed to abide by its policy.
15.2 Position
The school does not tolerate:
• the use or possession of any illegal or prohibited substances
• the possession of drug-related equipment such as cigarette papers, pipes, matches, lighters,
bottle ends, foils, electronic cigarettes or other
• performance enhancing drugs
• the inappropriate use of solvents, inhalants, aerosols and similar agents
• the consumption of alcohol and the smoking of tobacco
If any learner is involved in dealing or selling any of the abovementioned substances, action will
be taken either through the police or a disciplinary hearing.
The school will respond to substance abuse with serious punishments, but also with a
humanitarian view. Our approach will be one of prevention education. The school undertakes to
educate (through guidance lessons, life skills) to inform (using outside speakers, exhibitions) and
to guide and support (counselling, peer-counselling).
15.3 Procedure
Anybody found in possession of, or using any of these substances either on school property, or
when in school uniform or when under the supervision of the school, or attending school-related
functions, including sport outings, tours and social events will be subject to the following procedure:
• The learner will be required to have a drug test administered.
• If a learner tests positive for a substance use, the learner will first be interviewed by senior
school management or the school counsellor to determine the nature and extent of the learner’s
involvement with drugs (casual experimentation, habitual use, dependence, dealing, etc.) and
determine the appropriate response.
• The learner’s parent(s)/guardian(s) will be informed of the alleged involvement and will be
required to attend a meeting at the school with the principal/senior staff management/
Governing Body representative.
On the basis of the meeting the school will take the necessary action:
• Inform the parent(s)/guardian(s) of a pending disciplinary hearing.
• Disciplinary action against the learner may follow if in the opinion of the hearing this is
warranted by the nature of the learner’s involvement with drugs. The results of such disciplinary
action may include the provision of support, including counselling to a range of punishments
which may include recommendation for expulsion.
PLEASE NOTE!
• Drug testing and searches will be done when substance abuse or the possession of illegal
substances is suspected.
• In the case of illegal substances, the matter will be reported to the South African Police Service.
• Dealing in drugs or involving others in their use will normally result in a recommendation that the
pupil be expelled from the school.
15.4 Prescription Drugs
The school needs to be informed if any leaner needs to bring prescription drugs to school. Learners
are not allowed to bring more than one day’s dose to school.
15.5 Addiction, Treatment and Help
The school understands that addiction is a medical problem. Any learner who asks for, or is
identified as needing assistance in coping with drug use will be expected to attend appropriate
counselling.
This will be done in consultation with the parent(s)/guardian(s) and any cost incurred shall be paid
by the learner’s parent(s)/guardian(s).
Learners who experience problems with substance abuse or related matters, learners who need
help and ask for it, will be treated in confidence and will not be discriminated against in any way.
Learners, who have voluntarily gone to rehabilitation or attended drug education programmes, will
be allowed to return to school, on certain conditions. Part of being helped/counselled will include
signing an agreement/contract and agreeing to random testing.
The drug policy is for the benefit of all parties concerned. The aim of the policy is to assist,
educate and guide learners, to help those who want to be helped or who need help.
The school will assist in the rehabilitation efforts of learners.

The Production will run from 12 August, ending with a glamorous Gala evening on Friday 14

Fairmont families for help in specific areas to enable us to make this important event on our
School Cultural Calendar a great success.
We would be very grateful if anyone has contacts in the beverage industry and is in a
position to offer to sponsor juice or flavoured water for the Gala evening. We expect to be
catering for 100/120 people.
We are also still looking for pieces of antique furniture similar to those shown below. If any
Fairmont families have any which they would be willing to sell, donate or lend to the school,
we would be grateful if you would contact us. Alternatively if you have contacts in the
antique furniture business, perhaps you could help us?

Rugby Team Report : Somerset College vs Fairmont 16th
May 2015 (Away)
It was certainly a much better week in terms of preparation and one could feel and sense the hurt
the boys were feeling after their disappointing 1 point loss to Bergvliet the week before.
A few late forced injury changes were made on Friday and the boys arrived in a more focused
mood than before. It could be attributed to one of the most spectacular views and surrounds a
school could hope for.
Fairmont were well received, thanks to our host Somerset College.
At the warm up session, the boys started to switch on and one felt there was a sense of pride and
determination about the attitude. It went well and, as always, it looked pretty awesome when doing
shadow moves; there were less balls going to ground; and the communication was up.
The game got underway in awesome conditions and what a spectacle. Both teams were prepared
to throw the ball around.
There were many chances created by both sides and it was often scrambled defence which bailed
them out and prevented tries from being scored early on.
Fairmont lost their Captain, Jonothan Nel, within the first 15 minutes to possible concussion. The
late replacement prop, Jordan Pugin and Leonard, the Captain’s replacement, played really well.
There were many contributions with great lineout balls from Austin, and a superb defence effort
from Ryan Hodgson who was named forward player of the game.
It was played at good pace and both teams can be commended for their efforts and spirit in which
the game was played.
There was still a lot of wasted possession with balls not going to hand in a 50/50 pass situation,
and little protection at the rucks.
Too many hanging around the fringes at times and then body positions in rucks and mauls is an
area which needs immense improvement.
The latter part of the game it appeared Fairmont went to sleep after having a healthy lead after
tries and conversions. Somerset College never stopped trying and applied pressure with some
good driving mauls off set pieces.
Fairmont back line looked good and, after a few substitution’s, stepped up a gear. This can be
attributed to a very organized display from Fairmont’s no 10.
Dylan van Wyk was named our Man of the Match for his confident running of the backline, and
execution.
Tries Scored: Basjan Swanepoel / Dylan Van Wyk / Sibakeng Ncube
Conversions x3 : Joshua Julies
Final Score: Fairmont 21 : 20 Somerset College
The winner on the day was rugby. Both teams played with flair and structure and need to be highly
commended on the sportsmanship displayed throughout the game. The referee had an awesome
game with the players fully understanding his calls and judgement.
Thank you to all who made this day a truly memorable moment.

11) LIBRARIAN’S CHOICE
THE OCEAN AT THE END OF THE LANE
By Neil Gaiman
A middle- aged man returns to his childhood home to attend a
funeral. Although the house he lived in is long gone, he is drawn to
the farm at the end of the road, where, when he was seven, he
encountered a most remarkable girl, Lettie Hempstock, and her
mother and grandmother. He hadn’t thought of Lettie in decades,
and yet as he sits by the pond ( a pond that she’d claimed was an
ocean) behind the ramshackle old farmhouse where she once lived,
the unremembered past comes flooding back. And it is a past too
strange, too frightening, too dangerous to have happened to
anyone, let alone a small boy.

The Maties and Eagles Wheelchair Rugby teams took to the Fairmont Student Centre court this

continue their passion of playing rugby….in a wheelchair.
It is very heartwarming to watch these rugby lovers playing their new style of rugby. Make sure to
watch them the next time they play.
Eagles were the winners of the day with a score of Eagles 29 vs Maties 20.
15) LAND SERVICE CLUB

FAIRMONT HIGH SCHOOL POLICY ON THE USE OF CELLULAR TELEPHONES, OTHER ELECTRONIC DEVICES AND SOCIAL MEDIA (AT SCHOOL) 1. Preamble Fairmont High School realizes that part of the 21st century is adapting to the changing methods of communication. The proliferation of the ownership and usage of the cellphones and other electronic devices, and the increasing sophistication of its derivatives in its various guises, makes it necessary for the usage of these devices to be ordered, controlled and monitored by, in and through school. The purpose of this policy is to help preserve and foster a safe, non-disruptive educational environment for effective teaching and learning, to maintain and foster order and discipline, to deter learners from actions detrimental to themselves, their peers or the general value systems embraced by the school, and to achieve these objectives consistent with the law. 2. Legal Basis The school has built its policy on the following premises: 2.1 Given the need for school safety and the protection and well-being of individual learners, the authority of the school to conduct searches is held to pre-empt an individual learner’s right to privacy. Consequently, school officials are empowered to conduct searches of a pupil’s property when there is reasonable suspicion that s/he may be in violation of a school rule, a policy or the law.
  • 4. 2.2 All school-related property is subject to search at any time. School-related property includes, but is not limited to, computers, cellphones and related or similar devices and items used during or in the support of education-related programmes or activities, and in respect of this policy is deemed to include also privately owned devices brought onto the school property or to any school, school sponsored or school related activity or function. 2.3 Before undertaking a search of any privately owned device however, the school official performing such search must have a reasonable suspicion that the learner has indulged in an action which violates the law, a school rule or policy. 2.4 ‘Reasonable suspicion’ may be created by firsthand eyewitness observations or reports, information from a normally reliable informant, and suspicious behaviour. 3. Acceptable Usage The following list, which is neither exhaustive nor exclusive, provides examples of practices which are deemed acceptable in terms of this policy: 3.1 The authorised and monitored use of handheld devices like cellphones, iPhones, BlackBerrys, iTouch and other electronic devices in order to enhance classroom learning with instructions from the teacher in the classroom. 3.2 Parental contact with children before and after school hours and during breaks. 3.3 Tracing of the whereabouts of family members and friends, lift-givers and the like during the allowed time slots when these handheld devices can be on. 3.4 The rescheduling of lifts or extracurricular activities – for example, in the light of changed weather conditions, unforeseen delays or earlier than expected ending of activities during the allowed time slots when these handheld devices can be on. 3.5 The enhancement of classroom notes, e.g. by means of recording a teacher’s lessons and snapping a picture of the board PROVIDED THIS IS AUTHORIZED IN ADVANCE BY THE TEACHER. 3.6 The taking of pictures of own projects to show to parent(s)/guardian(s), thus allowing them to be involved in group class activities. 3.7 Communication during an emergency situation, e.g. in order to reach the authorities or a medical provider. 4. Unacceptable Practices The following list, which is neither exhaustive nor exclusive, provides examples of practices which are deemed unacceptable in terms of this policy: 4.1 Disrupting academic time: e.g. by allowing the ringing of cell phones or the sending or receiving of text messages during class or updating or checking your status on various social media platforms during class time. Learners may use their cell phones/electronic devices before school until the first bell at 07.55. Thereafter cell phones/electronic devices must be switched off until first break where calls/messages may be received outside the school building and corridors. In the remaining sessions on either side of the second break the same rule applies. Learners are free to use their cell phones after 14.35 Monday to Fridays. 4.2 The theft, borrowing, using, breaking, damaging, defacing, hiding, removing or going into the memory or storage capacity of a cell phone or electronic device belonging to someone else. 4.3 Sending hoax bomb or other threats so as to avoid or condense class time, or disrupt tests or exams. 4.4 The use of cell phones to gain an advantage or break or circumvent exam rules or procedures.
  • 5. 4.5 Alerting miscreants to the presence/approach of the principal, a teacher or other disciplinary officer. 4.6 The use of a cell phone in the selling or distribution or procurement of drugs or other banned or illegal substances, the dissemination of threats, cyber-bullying or harassment, unwanted text messaging, or the arrangement or co-ordination of anti-social activities. 4.7 The taking, viewing or distribution of inappropriate photos, making video clips of fighting, capturing inappropriate sexual behaviour of learners or downloading inappropriate images from the internet. 4.8 The provoking of a teacher and then capture and circulate the resultant response. 4.9 The playing of music through sound amplification equipment. Music can only be listened to through earphones and for the individual learners’ pleasure. 4.10 Publishing, posting, distributing or disseminating material or information that Fairmont High School determines is threatening, harassing, illegal, obscene, defamatory, slanderous, unlawful or hostile towards any individual or entity. This includes the spreading of rumours and misinformation. 4.11 Publishing, posting, distributing or disseminating material or comments that infringes on the rights and privacy of Fairmont High School or any individual or entity. This includes personal attacks or comments disparaging an individual or group. 4.12 Learners who chose to submit content onto websites or other forms of online media must ensure that their submission does not reflect poorly upon the school and bring the name of the school into disrepute. 5. Bringing Cellphones and Electronic Devices to School Within these parameters, pupils are allowed to bring cellphones to school on the understanding that: 5.1 The use of cell phones and electronic devices at school is a privilege which may be forfeited by any pupil not abiding by the school’s Code of Conduct or the stipulations of this policy. 5.2 Learners are personally and solely responsible for the security of their cell phones and electronic devices. Not the school, the staff nor the education department will assume any responsibility for theft, loss, or damage of a cell phone or electronic device, or any unauthorised use thereof. 5.3 There will be no use of a cell phone or electronic device in any manner whatsoever during class time or in classrooms, except where such usage is specifically authorized by teachers for legitimate educational purposes, as part of lesson plans and/or academic programmes. Such usage is at the sole discretion of the supervising teacher, who is responsible for monitoring, controlling and overseeing such usage. 5.4 The use of a cell phone or electronic device to capture, store or transmit unauthorized pictures, or undesirable, illegal or pornographic material is strictly prohibited on the school premises, during school sponsored or educational activities or outings, or while travelling to and from school or school sponsored outing or activities, again except where such usage is specifically authorized by teachers. Such authorization will normally only be granted for legitimate, broad educational purposes, as part of lesson plans and/ or academic, sporting, cultural or service programmes. Such usage will be permitted at the sole discretion of the supervising teacher, who will be responsible for monitoring, controlling and overseeing such usage. 5.5 Use for purposes other than those listed above (e.g. to contact the home, to reschedule lifts, etc.) may be granted by a teacher or the responsible duty teacher in the discipline control room.
  • 6. 5.6 Use of cell phones or electronic devices before the beginning of the school day, or after its conclusion, will not be controlled by the school, with the proviso that no provisions of the school’s Codes of Conduct are broken, and no actions referred to in point 4 (sub-points 4.1 to 4.12 inclusive), nor 5.3, nor any other inappropriate actions, are undertaken consequent on the use or possession of a cell phone or similar device. 6. Ownership and Privacy 6.1 In order to manage the wellbeing and safety of all who are part of the school, and to maintain the integrity of school systems, the school reserves the right to check on usage and content (including by random monitoring) of any files, messages, pictures, images or similar which are created, received, stored, transferred to, viewed, read, sent from or received using a cell phone or other device present on school property, at a school or school sponsored function or activity, or on the way to school or school sponsored activity, regardless of whether the device was actually used on school property, at a school function or not. 6.2 Access to the worldwide web, e-mail services, the internet and school servers at this school are filtered and managed in-house. Communication via e-mail on the school system cannot therefore be regarded as private, and the same conditions apply to messages, data or images on any cell phone or similar device brought to, found at or used on or in close proximity to the school premises, at school, or during school or at a school or school sponsored function or activity. 6.3 It is a condition of the use of the permission granted in terms of this policy that the school has the right to investigate the e-mail or account and equipment, including cell phones and similar devices, and also social networking domains such as Facebook and Twitter, of any user who, in the opinion of the principal or his/ her delegate, which opinion shall be based on reasonable suspicion and/or first-hand eye-witness reports, might be transgressing the rules or the spirit of this policy. 6.4 In the event of any part of this policy being transgressed by a pupil or other person using the equipment brought to school or a school or school sponsored activity or belonging to or in the possession of a pupil at school or a school or school sponsored or school-approved activity, the following sanctions may be applied: • Any staff member who sees a learner using a cell phone in contradiction of the specifications of this code shall confiscate the device and hand it in reception for safekeeping. Date, time, name of learner, name of teacher who confiscated the device, name of the owner of the cell phone and reason for the confiscation must be handed to the front office for recording. Details of evidence of inappropriate content must be reported to the Deputy Principal. • If it is suspected, based on reasonable grounds, first-hand, eyewitness reports or clear evidence that anyone is using a cell phone in contradiction of any of sections 4.3 to 4.12 and 5.3 of this code, those authorised to do so by the principal will be expected to intervene and inspect the contents of the device to determine whether it has been or is being used for a purpose which is contrary to school policy. 6.5 Should such evidence be found, it must be reported to the deputy principal, who may take the matter further, either through an internal disciplinary process, or by reporting it to other authorities, including the School Governing Body, the school counsellor, a social worker, the education department or the police. 6.6 When handheld devices like cell phones, iPhones, BlackBerrys, iTouch or other electronic devices are confiscated from a learner, the following sanctions will apply: • 1st offence the device will be confiscated, parent(s)/guardian(s) will be contacted and will be required to retrieve the device from the school. • 2nd offence the device will be confiscated, parent(s)/guardian(s) will be contacted and will be required to retrieve the device from the school. A final warning letter will be issued and three Friday detentions must be made up by the learner.
  • 7. • 3rd offence the device will be confiscated, parent(s)/guardian(s) will be contacted and will be required to retrieve the device from the school. The learner accompanied by his/her parent(s)/guardian(s) will be required to attend a disciplinary hearing. Failure to abide by this Policy, as with other policies at Fairmont High School, may result in disciplinary action as described in the school’s Code of Conduct and School Rules.

No emails!  Permission for going home early will only be allowed for emergencies.  If a pupil is too sick to stay for the full day after a test, then they must not come to school to write, but must provide the school with a medical certificate. PLEASE NOTE! All pupils are required to be at school at the regular time - 07h55 - even if they are not writing a test. This time will be used for consolidation or tasks organized by various subject departments. All parents are asked to please be aware that when your child misses a Monday or a Thursday test, a letter from the parent and the relevant chemist slip (the date on the slip must pertain to the pupil’s absenteeism and medication bought), a certificate from the clinic or a doctor’s certificate is required. A medical certificate from either the clinic or the doctor is applicable for missing any exam. A note from you excusing your child from school for the days missed (not test days) is also required. Grade 9 and Matric pupils must produce a doctor’s certificate for tests and exams missed as these are the two exit phases and their marks are externally moderated by the Education Department. Learners are not allowed to go home immediately after a test if they are ill. They have to stay until first break. If they are ill, then they should not come to school. A doctor’s certificate will be required.
  • 9. 3) DRUG & SUBSTANCE ABUSE POLICY 15. DRUG & SUBSTANCE ABUSE POLICY The Government Notice No 1040, South African Schools Act (84/1996), declares all schools drug free zones. This means no substance abuse, possession of illegal drugs on school premises or being at school under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs, is allowed. Substance abuse/ illegal drugs means any unlawful, intoxicating or stupefying substances, these include tobacco, substances generated from electronic cigarettes, alcohol, prescription drugs, dagga and other hard drugs. Substance abuse is prohibited and severe action will be taken against perpetrators. However, those who admit to having problems with substance abuse will be helped and counselling will be made available. If a learner has in his /her possession any of the abovementioned at school, on a school outing or is identified as a Fairmont High School learner, that learner will be punished, even more so if he/ she is under the influence of alcohol or drugs. 15.1 Purpose and Scope The aim of this policy is to encourage all learners to abstain from using any drugs (other than those which are medically prescribed), including alcohol and tobacco. This document should be given to each learner and his/her parent(s)/guardian(s) are required to sign it as acknowledgement that they have read and understood it, and that they have agreed to abide by its policy. 15.2 Position The school does not tolerate: • the use or possession of any illegal or prohibited substances • the possession of drug-related equipment such as cigarette papers, pipes, matches, lighters, bottle ends, foils, electronic cigarettes or other • performance enhancing drugs • the inappropriate use of solvents, inhalants, aerosols and similar agents • the consumption of alcohol and the smoking of tobacco If any learner is involved in dealing or selling any of the abovementioned substances, action will be taken either through the police or a disciplinary hearing. The school will respond to substance abuse with serious punishments, but also with a humanitarian view. Our approach will be one of prevention education. The school undertakes to educate (through guidance lessons, life skills) to inform (using outside speakers, exhibitions) and to guide and support (counselling, peer-counselling). 15.3 Procedure Anybody found in possession of, or using any of these substances either on school property, or when in school uniform or when under the supervision of the school, or attending school-related functions, including sport outings, tours and social events will be subject to the following procedure: • The learner will be required to have a drug test administered. • If a learner tests positive for a substance use, the learner will first be interviewed by senior school management or the school counsellor to determine the nature and extent of the learner’s involvement with drugs (casual experimentation, habitual use, dependence, dealing, etc.) and determine the appropriate response. • The learner’s parent(s)/guardian(s) will be informed of the alleged involvement and will be required to attend a meeting at the school with the principal/senior staff management/ Governing Body representative.
  • 10. On the basis of the meeting the school will take the necessary action: • Inform the parent(s)/guardian(s) of a pending disciplinary hearing. • Disciplinary action against the learner may follow if in the opinion of the hearing this is warranted by the nature of the learner’s involvement with drugs. The results of such disciplinary action may include the provision of support, including counselling to a range of punishments which may include recommendation for expulsion. PLEASE NOTE! • Drug testing and searches will be done when substance abuse or the possession of illegal substances is suspected. • In the case of illegal substances, the matter will be reported to the South African Police Service. • Dealing in drugs or involving others in their use will normally result in a recommendation that the pupil be expelled from the school. 15.4 Prescription Drugs The school needs to be informed if any leaner needs to bring prescription drugs to school. Learners are not allowed to bring more than one day’s dose to school. 15.5 Addiction, Treatment and Help The school understands that addiction is a medical problem. Any learner who asks for, or is identified as needing assistance in coping with drug use will be expected to attend appropriate counselling. This will be done in consultation with the parent(s)/guardian(s) and any cost incurred shall be paid by the learner’s parent(s)/guardian(s). Learners who experience problems with substance abuse or related matters, learners who need help and ask for it, will be treated in confidence and will not be discriminated against in any way. Learners, who have voluntarily gone to rehabilitation or attended drug education programmes, will be allowed to return to school, on certain conditions. Part of being helped/counselled will include signing an agreement/contract and agreeing to random testing. The drug policy is for the benefit of all parties concerned. The aim of the policy is to assist, educate and guide learners, to help those who want to be helped or who need help. The school will assist in the rehabilitation efforts of learners. 4) IMPORTANT NOTICE : GENERAL CALENDAR : 2ND TERM Thu, 21 May Matric Dance Expo (21 – 24 May) at Tygervalley Shopping Centre Fri, 22 May Matric Theme Day Sat, 23 May Drummie 2nd Large Drill Competition Tue, 26 May Gr. 9 Banango Workshop (26 – 27 May) Thu, 28 May Gr. 8 – 12 Life Orientation Exam Friday, 29 May Gr 10 – 12 Exams start Sat, 30 May Drummie Breakfast SGB 3-Year Strategic Plan Mon, 8 June Gr. 8 – 10 Exams start Mon, 15 June School holiday

The costs of staging a slick production are significant and we are appealing to Fairmont families for help in specific areas to enable us to make this important event on our School Cultural Calendar a great success. We would be very grateful if anyone has contacts in the beverage industry and is in a position to offer to sponsor juice or flavoured water for the Gala evening. We expect to be catering for 100/120 people. We are also still looking for pieces of antique furniture similar to those shown below. If any Fairmont families have any which they would be willing to sell, donate or lend to the school, we would be grateful if you would contact us. Alternatively if you have contacts in the antique furniture business, perhaps you could help us?

  • 22. RUGBY NEWS 1ST Rugby Team Report : Somerset College vs Fairmont 16th May 2015 (Away) It was certainly a much better week in terms of preparation and one could feel and sense the hurt the boys were feeling after their disappointing 1 point loss to Bergvliet the week before. A few late forced injury changes were made on Friday and the boys arrived in a more focused mood than before. It could be attributed to one of the most spectacular views and surrounds a school could hope for. Fairmont were well received, thanks to our host Somerset College. At the warm up session, the boys started to switch on and one felt there was a sense of pride and determination about the attitude. It went well and, as always, it looked pretty awesome when doing shadow moves; there were less balls going to ground; and the communication was up. The game got underway in awesome conditions and what a spectacle. Both teams were prepared to throw the ball around. There were many chances created by both sides and it was often scrambled defence which bailed them out and prevented tries from being scored early on. Fairmont lost their Captain, Jonothan Nel, within the first 15 minutes to possible concussion. The late replacement prop, Jordan Pugin and Leonard, the Captain’s replacement, played really well. There were many contributions with great lineout balls from Austin, and a superb defence effort from Ryan Hodgson who was named forward player of the game. It was played at good pace and both teams can be commended for their efforts and spirit in which the game was played. There was still a lot of wasted possession with balls not going to hand in a 50/50 pass situation, and little protection at the rucks. Too many hanging around the fringes at times and then body positions in rucks and mauls is an area which needs immense improvement. The latter part of the game it appeared Fairmont went to sleep after having a healthy lead after tries and conversions. Somerset College never stopped trying and applied pressure with some good driving mauls off set pieces. Fairmont back line looked good and, after a few substitution’s, stepped up a gear. This can be attributed to a very organized display from Fairmont’s no 10. Dylan van Wyk was named our Man of the Match for his confident running of the backline, and execution. Tries Scored: Basjan Swanepoel / Dylan Van Wyk / Sibakeng Ncube Conversions x3 : Joshua Julies Final Score: Fairmont 21 : 20 Somerset College The winner on the day was rugby. Both teams played with flair and structure and need to be highly commended on the sportsmanship displayed throughout the game. The referee had an awesome game with the players fully understanding his calls and judgement. Thank you to all who made this day a truly memorable moment.

  • 23. 11) LIBRARIAN’S CHOICE THE OCEAN AT THE END OF THE LANE By Neil Gaiman A middle- aged man returns to his childhood home to attend a funeral. Although the house he lived in is long gone, he is drawn to the farm at the end of the road, where, when he was seven, he encountered a most remarkable girl, Lettie Hempstock, and her mother and grandmother. He hadn’t thought of Lettie in decades, and yet as he sits by the pond ( a pond that she’d claimed was an ocean) behind the ramshackle old farmhouse where she once lived, the unremembered past comes flooding back. And it is a past too strange, too frightening, too dangerous to have happened to anyone, let alone a small boy. 12) ACTION CRICKET UMPIRE TRAINING Action Sports are pleased to announce that Dino de Pentieiros (Fairmont High School’s Assistant Sport Co-ordinator) has been appointed to do all Action Cricket umpire training in the Western Cape area.
