BULLETIN
W/C 12th January 2015
Dear Brock student,
I would like to thank you for your help last term in ensuring that Brock is a
safer place to study through the wearing of your student ID and lanyard.
It is particularly important that you continue to wear your ID and lanyard
around all parts of the College campus, interior and exterior. This enables us to
see, at a glance or on CCTV, any individuals who should not be on site. This is
for the safety of us all. You can help your fellow students by reminding them
to keep their IDs and lanyards visible at all times.
We will be carrying out checks in classrooms and across all areas of the campus
during this week and next – please make sure you are wearing yours at all
times.
Finally, if you persist in not wearing your student ID and lanyard, we will have
to take disciplinary action. This has already resulted in several students being
suspended and may result in you being asked to leave College. I would not like
to see this happen, so please continue to support your College and everyone
who studies and works here by wearing your Brock student ID and lanyard, to
ensure your safety and theirs.
Many thanks
Di Roberts CBE,
Principal
