The Handbook

Despite being an art school (and despite me encouraging independece and individuality) we have set up a few rules and guidelines to promote peace and order among our students. Plus, there's always one or two troublemakers among those musically gifted, I can't just let them run around wreaking havok. We don't like troubling our students even more than necessary, which is why we created The Handbook.

As its name applies, The Handbook contains everything a student needs to know to stay out of trouble, and what they should expect if they're out for trouble. It also contains the people to look out for during times of turmoil, such as the student council president or the respective year representative. It is given at the start of every term, and, like our divisions, the rules and regulations are tweaked according to both students' and professors' feedback. The contents are as follows:

School Rules

1. No Drugs or Acohol allowed on the school premise.
2. Public Display of Affection is allowed, but must be kept at minimal. Holding hands is allowed, but anything beyond that must be done in private quarters.
