Phone policy
Our policy is “At home or in the locker”. At Stedelijk College Eindhoven, this means that all mobile phones, smartwatches, tablets and other devices that can be used to access social media are no longer allowed to be used on school premises, either indoors or outdoors.
The use of earphones and headphones is also not permitted in the school or on the grounds unless the teacher gives permission. Students who wish to work in silence may use earplugs. Chromebooks may be used in class and in two designated areas during breaks if students wish to study during breaks.
We prefer that mobile phones and similar devices be left at home. If they are brought to school, we expect them to be stored in lockers immediately upon arrival. After school, mobile phones and other devices may be removed from the lockers. If a mobile phone or earphones are used, they will be confiscated and can be collected from reception between 4.15 p.m. and 4.35 p.m.
Cash and debit cards are accepted for payment at the catering facilities.
Any changes to the timetable will be displayed on screens in the school.
Equipment rules
During class (functional) use of earphones is allowed after permission from the teacher. We use Chromebooks during class and in school only for schoolwork.
Rules school grounds
Pupils of years 1, 2 and 3 always stay on the school grounds during school hours. These rules apply both in and around the school and during extracurricular activities, and also for the period immediately following school-organised activities.
Rules on study materials
Pupils in years 1, 2 and 3 always have a reading book with them. They may work on their homework or read. Pupils in the other years always have (reading) material with them to work independently, for instance during lesson breaks or during test hours.
It is a joint task of pupils and staff to observe these rules. Should any pupils break the rules, all staff have the authority to take appropriate action.
Rules The Healthy School
Smoking and Vaping
Smoking and vaping are strictly prohibited on the entire school premises, in all school buildings and during school-related activities, including field trips and sports events.
This ban applies to all forms of tobacco and electronic cigarettes.
Alcohol and drug use
The use, possession and distribution of alcohol and drugs are not permitted on school premises, in school buildings and during school-related activities.
Eating and drinking
Eating and drinking is allowed in the auditoriums and associated outdoor areas during breaks. We consider health important. Therefore, we do not consume fast food, energy drinks or bulk packs at school.
