Code of Conduct

1. Read the notices daily to be kept up to date on events planned for the day. 

​

2. If you need to cancel a Student club, or for professors, a Class, please do so as soon as possible to avoid last minute cancellations and confusion. Customary polite time frame to cancel your classes or clubs within is a minimum of 2 hours prior.

 

3. Students will address Faculty with proper honorifics such as: Sir, Miss, Mrs, or Ma'am.  Other specific variations may be requested by the Faculty member.

 

4. Speak politely, use your manners or you will be corrected. Say please, thank you, do not yell "Hey" at Faculty. Remember to exercise courtesy and respectfulness towards students and staff alike.

​

Note: Do not address the Headmistress as "Headmistress" You will call her Miss Sky, or other variations of Miss, Ma'am, etc.

​

5. Be respectful to one another during Roleplay, do not Metagame. Staff will not Powerplay by default, but you have the option as a student to opt-in, if it, as a student excites you. 

​

Powerplaying is godmodding by controlling another roleplayer's character without permission. For school use, if opted in you would be subjected to forced scenarios where Faculty could get you into trouble without there being cause. 

​

Metagaming is godmoding specific to the use of OOC knowledge in roleplayed actions, behaviors, thoughts.

​

6. You will obey and accept the judgments on stated rules, directions and decisions from all Faculty Appointed by the Headmistress. It will be the Faculty or Prefect on scenes job to raise appeals up to the Headmistress. Please take this seriously. If you intend to make an appeal it should be serious and not silly in nature, this will not be used in a playful way, this is a tool to make sure fairness is being upheld by Faculty and Prefects.

​

7. Classroom etiquette dictates that you will raise your hand to ask a question and stand to speak when called upon. You can accomplish raising your hand through the animations in the desk themselves or by emoting. After you have finished your question you will take your seat again so the Professor knows you are finished speaking.

​

8. You will wait to sit while in the presence of Faculty, this applies across campus including in the classroom. Students will not stand up during an ongoing Class or Clubs as it would disrupt the lesson or Club content and be inconsiderate to the Professor.

​

9. When Faculty enters a room outside of Classes and Clubs, all students who are sitting down will stand up and greet the member of Faculty with proper honorifics and politeness. After the greeting the Students will wait for permission to be seated again before sitting.

​

10. Do not talk to each other through walls to maintain a level of realism. Instead, initiate conversation, or knock on a door. Use situations like this to create a roleplay!

​

11. There are private areas on Campus that Guests should not be shown in tours or visits. Private Dorm rooms, personal homes or offices. Please be considerate of private spaces and request permission if there is a need to show any of these spaces.

​

12. You will not abuse gestures or any kind of loud obnoxious sound files in conversation. Spamming can be disruptive and will be met with a swift warning and punishment if done.

​

13. Close doors behind you, there are many buildings with self closing doors but many that are not, you will close doors behind you. Lets keep our school looking pretty and organized.

​

14. When you are in the presence of Faculty, you will ask for permission to be excused before leaving the room or logging off.

 

Note: It is expected Etiquette and manners to make others know if you are leaving rather than leaving without notice even with no Faculty present.

​

15. Do not shout across the entire campus, shouting has a 100m wide range, be considerate of people around you and use it only if realistic as part of a scene.

​

16. If you need to go AFK please politely excuse yourself from any public setting you might be in. Make it known you are going afk so people around you don't think you are just inattentive. Even a quick BRB is better than assumed lack of interest in a class or club. Take this as an opportunity to step out to a quiet out of the way area to idle. If you do not have the time to do so please have a valid excuse ready upon returning. This applies to everyone, not just students!

​

17. During active Classes, Clubs, or activities, please make sure the Class or Club Organizer, i.e. Teacher or Club Leader knows you are leaving if you intend to leave early to avoid confusion or so plans can be made in regards to the activity or lesson.

​

18. During Classes & Clubs, if you do not wish to participate, be off campus for the duration of the class or club ongoing in respect for the teacher or club lead. This directive counts for every student or prep, and generally no excuses will be accepted, as you all have access to info about the SHA schedule, and hence are able to plan your whereabouts.

​

19. The Dormitory is Co-ed however the individual Dorm bedrooms therein are not. Boys have their own bedrooms and girls do as well. A Girl could with consent and an invitation, visit the Boys Dorm bedroom, and vice versa for a boy visiting a girls Dorm bedroom. But in neither cases will boys or girls sleepover without express permission from the Headmistress, Deputy Head, or Dorm Mother.
