Answer:

Bronte College has a variety of room types – single, double and quad. We also offer a homestay program. Accommodation preferences are assigned according to the date the accommodation fees are received by Bronte College. The earlier students apply and pay their accommodation fees, the more likely they will be assigned the room type of their choice. As a guideline, students interested in on-campus accommodation for the September semester should submit their application form and accommodation fees by early March, or sooner. Contact Admissions to determine if dormitory rooms are available at the time you submit your application. If your preferred room type is not available at time of payment, a substitution will be made depending on availability.

Answer:

No. There is no access to the dormitory during school hours, unless students are granted special permission by the Head of Student Governance.

Answer:

Yes. Students are allowed to leave the campus as long as there is nothing mandatory they need to attend (daily classes, extra-curricular activities, tutorials, study hall, etc). Students must be back on campus, however, in time for curfew.

Answer:

Bronte College students have two curfews they must follow: a building curfew, and a room curfew.

Building Curfew – All Bronte College students must be in the building by 10:00 pm each evening.

Room Curfew – All students must be in their own rooms by 11:00 pm each evening.

Answer:

Extended curfew hours may be granted by the Head of Student Governance on non-school days. We ask that students provide a written or emailed request from a parent or legal guardian at least 48 hours in advance of the requested day. If this request is approved by the Head of Student Governance, students must complete and sign a form available at the Front Desk before leaving the campus.

In accordance with the Smoke-Free Ontario Act, smoking is strictly forbidden anywhere on Bronte College property. It is also against provincial law to smoke or purchase cigarettes if you are under the age of 19, or to give or sell cigarettes to anyone under the age of 19.

The Smoke-Free Ontario Act states that:

No person shall smoke or hold lighted tobacco and/or electronic cigarettes in the following places or areas:

• A school as defined by the Education Act
• A building or the grounds surrounding the building of a private school, where the private school is the only occupant of the premises, or the grounds annexed to a private school, where the private school is not the only occupant of the premises

Rules of the Road:

As a cyclist, you must share the road with others (i.e.: cars, buses, trucks, motorcycles, etc.). Under Ontario’s Highway Traffic Act (HTA), a bicycle is a vehicle, just like a car or truck.

Cyclists:

• Must obey all traffic laws
• Have the same rights and responsibilities as drivers
• Cannot carry passengers (if your bicycle is only meant for one person)
• Students may safely park their bikes just left of the main school entrance.
