INSURANCE: The personal possessions of pupils attending the College ARE NOT COVERED by the College’s insurance. Parents, particularly of boarders, should make their own arrangements for insuring the possessions of their children. Despite vigilance and strict precautions, losses do occur from time to time owing to negligence on the part of the

pupils or to unproved theft. Parents are urged to discourage their children from bringing jewelry and other expensive, unnecessary items to School for which they would not have adequate insurance cover. The school accepts no liability for the loss or damage to pupils’ property how so ever caused.
