I acknowledge that I am a student, foremost, and have the privilege to participate in athletics as long as my academic and behavioral performance is satisfactory according to the teachers, principals, and coaches at HIS. It is my responsibility to maintain a healthy balance between academics and athletics. If I am unable to fulfill my requirements in all of my classes, I will not be eligible to participate in athletics.

I am aware that failing to meet all these requirements may cause me to be ineligible for athletics at HIS. This includes all tournaments, games, practices, or whole seasons. This ineligibility will continue until there are sufficient improvements in the requirements below, as determined by the Director of Athletics, in consultation with relevant teachers/counselors/principals/coaches.

In order to be eligible for Athletics at HIS, I must agree to all of the following requirements:

1. I must meet the requirements of the activity (attending practice etc.).

2. I make a commitment to my team/event until the completion of the season. Absence due to conflicts with other school commitments should be minimized and when necessary negotiated with coaches.

3. I must maintain adequate progress of 3* or higher on the IB/MYP scale in all classes. (Not applicable to Grade 5 students)

4. I will submit assignments complete and on time.

6. I must maintain a high level of attendance to school and all classes.

7. I must be at school from 8:00am in order to qualify for participation in an athletics activity that day.

8. I must demonstrate courtesy and respect towards peers and teachers as well as adhere to the behavioral expectations outlined in the Student Handbook. I am expected to be a leader and promote good school citizenship.

9. I understand that the use of alcohol, tobacco, drugs, and other controlled substances at school or during a HIS sponsored event is strictly forbidden.

10. When involved in a group activity, I must recognize that to inconvenience or jeopardize the group is not acceptable. This behavior will result in subsequent disciplinary action.

It is my responsibility to seek help from my teachers before any academic problems arise . Missing practice to fulfill academic commitments will not be held against the student athlete provided all relevant teachers/coaches are informed in advance and the absence from practice does not impact negatively on the rest of the team. At HIS, academia has first priority and athletics are a privilege which we believe contribute to creating a more well-rounded person.
