CONDITIONS OF ENROLMENT

Students are expected to be mature and committed to growing in the knowledge and love of the Lord Jesus. It is our aim to keep regulations to a minimum and to expect proper behaviour rather than legislating. However, in community living there needs to be a clear understanding of practical guidelines in order to function as a body.

REGARDING TIMETABLE - All students are expected to devote themselves unreservedly to their studies in lectures and study periods, which are compulsory, and to conform willingly to the timetable throughout the day. Punctuality and co-operation are essential for the smooth running and well-being of the school and for personal discipline. All students join together for worship and prayer each day, and participate in Sunday services in the local churches of the area. All students help in the daily domestic duties necessary in a well-run home. One day per week is set aside for practical duties in the buildings and grounds. All students participate in a broad programme of Christian Outreach.

REGARDING STUDY OBLIGATIONS - All students are expected to complete the Course applied for, remaining to the closing date advertised. The School Authorities reserve the right to terminate the studies of any student who proves unsatisfactory. Printed notes are sometimes available, but students are required to take their own notes in all lectures.

REGARDING APPEARANCE - Clean, neat and modest dress as worthy of a Christian who desires to glorify the Lord Jesus, will be expected. Please show moderation and modesty at all times, regardless of prevailing fashions in a permissive society. Because students are involved in local churches and on ministry teams representing Capernwray we ask that you observe the following:
1.All students are expected to keep their hair clean, tidy and well-groom; (men: a reasonable length)

Once a student arrives they will not make radical changes to their hair, e.g. shaving, colouring etc.
2.Men are not to commence growing a beard during term time, as this often looks scruffy.

3.The following types of clothing and fashions are unacceptable:
  • Grunge
  • Body Piercing and Facial Piercing and related trends (men - plain single earring/stud acceptable in ear, women - maximum 2 pairs of earrings/studs in ear)
  • No Body/Facial piercing and or tattoos are allowed to be received while a student.
  • Short skirts/dresses and short shorts
  • Tank tops and any clothing that reveals the midriff and/or undergarments.

4.All students are expected to dress appropriately for church, Sunday night programme and during outreach - similar to the above.

Cultural adjustments: Students must realise that in attending our Bible School they may be moving into a different national culture, and must therefore be willing to make the necessary adjustments.

REGARDING ACCOMMODATION - We regret that it is not possible to have single rooms, and although age is taken into consideration, it is normally necessary to share bedrooms with a number of others in dormitory style accommodation (2 - 6 per room). No responsibility can be accepted by the School either for accommodation or travel at the end of the School session.

REGARDING ADDICTIONS - The use of tobacco, alcoholic beverages, and illegal drugs are strictly forbidden for all students (for legal, moral and spiritual reasons). It is required that students who are involved in any of these practices will quit prior to course commencement and abstain throughout the course. (Rom. 14:21)
