General Information
LOCKERS
Lockers are loaned to students for their convenience, but remain the property of Nicholson Catholic College and the Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic District School Board. The administration may open any locker, at any time, if just cause exists.
Students are responsible for keeping their lockers clean and presentable. Pictures and/or slogans kept inside the locker must conform to the values and ideals of Nicholson Catholic College. Please do not keep anything of significant value in your locker, as it is not burglar proof. Also, do not let anyone know the combination to your lock or loan anyone the key to your lock.
SCHOOL BUS
Appropriate student behaviour is expected on the bus at all times with safety the overriding concern. You are responsible to the school for your behaviour on a school bus in the same way that you are in each class.
SMOKING
Smoking is known to be seriously injurious to everyone's health. The Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic District School Board has a strict no smoking policy in all schools and administrative buildings. Provincial law makes it illegal to smoke on school property - 24 hours per day. Students are prohibited from smoking on school buses, in school buildings, on school grounds and during school activities. Students guilty of smoking infractions may receive a school suspension and/or a ticket ($115 minimum) from the Health Unit’s enforcement officer.
VISITORS
Casual visitors are not allowed in the building or on the school grounds during the school day. Students are not to invite visitors to the school without the prior approval of the administration. Parents are welcome in the school at anytime; however, parents are encouraged to contact the school, during school hours, for an appointment in order to review any matter pertaining to the educational needs of their son/daughter.
