How we live
All rooms are single and contain a bed, writing-table, chair, table-, shelves
or chest-of-drawers, a cupboard, a top mattress, and a linen basket - and
there is free access to the Internet.
Note that you must provide your own duvet (quilt), pillow, bed-linen,
towels and a mug!
You can add your own furniture to a limited extent. Talk to the duty
teacher about this.
You must clean your room at least once a week.
Keys
You will be given two keys: One is for the outer doors, your room, a writing-table
drawer, the small cupboard in
the kitchen on your corridor, the drying room in the basement belonging to
your corridor, and the cupboard in those rooms where it can be locked. The
other key is for the writing-table drawer or drawers in your room.
Baths
Two or three people share shower and toilet facilities.
Public areas
On each floor there is a kitchen for general use, and on the yellow,
blue and red corridors there is a study room.
There is a dining-room with television, one of them also with a billard
table. In close proximity to the commoon rooms there is a computer room, a
sewing room, a music room and a so-called "den (in Danish:
Slyngelstue). There is also a fitness room and a pupil´s café in the
basement. Pupils using the den or the café for parties must tidy up and
clean them afterwards.
Leisure time
There are televisions in the common rooms. Students wishing to see the
daily news on DR1 and and TV2 have first priority in the billiard room.
Boarding students may use the music room and pianos, and can also
borrow instruments, amplifiers, and microphones.
If you go in for sport the school’s facilities, gymnasium, football
pitch, and badminton, and tennis courts are at your disposal in your
leisure time. Note too that the boarding school hs its own fitness centre,
situated in the basement.
Traditions
In November we invite parents and other relatives to visit us and
celebrate Martinmas Eve. The year is full of parties, but there are also other
social events, for example a theatre visit and several trips to the cinema.
Surfing, skating, and bowling are popular activites. From time to time
there is a café in the basement on Friday afternoon, run by the pupils
themselves.
During the winter there are Martinmas Eve, Christmas Dinner, and
Carnival. At the beginning of May we hold a farewell party for students in
3.g., 2.IB, and 2.HF.
Common for all such parties is the fellowship of a shared dinner, when
the kitchen prepares delicious food. There are songs, speeches and
entertainment, and after the meal music, in the form of a discotheque or
with the participation of a school band. The graduation dinner at the end
of the year is limited to final year students and their parents.
