St. Roch Ravens Spectator Expectations:
Students and adults are encouraged to show their school spirit and attend sporting events whenever possible as per the Dufferin-Peel Sportsmanship and Ethical Conduct Guideline. Students can only attend an event when there is teacher supervision in place. Students are expected to be in uniform or wearing Spirit Wear without school bags when attending an event. Students are expected to cheer and encourage the players on both teams in an appropriate manner. St. Roch students and adults are to cheer on their Ravens players only, there is no place for any negative comments or negative cheers towards visiting teams or any of their players. Students who choose not to cheer in an appropriate manner will be ejected from the event and face future consequences.
St. Roch Field
The St. Roch soccer/football field is for school related use only. To ensure the field is safe for our students and it receives the proper growth opportunity, trespassers will be asked to leave. The cost related to the upkeep of the field comes from the school operating budget.
Washrooms
To ensure a safe and clean environment in our washrooms, students should refrain from inappropriate use of the facilities and ensure that they leave the environment in the way it is found at the beginning of each day.
Visitors
Visitors must report to the main office. Visitors must have an appropriate appointment with a staff member to obtain a visitor pass. For returning graduated students: If you have not made arrangements to visit during the school day, you may be denied entry until the end of the school day to visit. Please ensure you have arranged to visit before you choose to drop in.
Accidents
If you are injured at any time during the school day, please advise your teacher and/or the main office immediately for first aid and reporting.
