MAGRIETJIE HOUSE RULES

Magrietjie has its own in-house rules and regulations that should be read in conjunction with the TuksRes guide. If anything in the rules and regulations document of Magrietjie should defer from the TuksRes guide, the TuksRes guide will be the point of reference. This includes aspects that for some reason should not be covered by the constitution of House Magrietjie.

Once a student is admitted into Magrietjie, she will receive a copy of the Magrietjie rules and regulations document. It is important to note that non adherence to any residence rules and regulations can lead to disciplinary action and in some cases expulsion. Ignorance of the rules and regulations can not be offered as an excuse. Contact the Primaria of Magrietjie for a copy of the house rules (see details on the Contact Us web page).
