What to bring

The following suggested clothing list is a guide only, and when packing please bear in mind that laundry is washed only once a week, and the weather in Murree varies from snow and cold to wet and temperate weather. In the summer months it can be quite warm in Murree so you will need a light blanket as well as a duvet for the colder months. PLEASE ensure that EVERYTHING is clearly named, as follows: inside back of collar, waistbands, top inside socks, inside shoes. Items, which are to be laundered, must be marked with name-tags. Indelible ink is not sufficient as it fades. Toys, cameras, balls, etc. should be clearly marked with a permanent marker. The school will not take responsibility for unnamed belongings. Trunks or bister rolls should be used if possible, and keys should be clearly named and given to the houseparents. Maximum size of trunks – 35 inches long, 19 inches deep, 14 inches high. Jams, jellies, spreads, juices or powdered drinks such as Tang or Milo can be kept by Elementary children in assigned cupboards in the house parents flat, and by High School students, in their rooms in air tight containers. These must be clearly named also.

Skateboards/roller blades may be brought into boarding if the appropriate protective gear i.e. helmet, elbow, hand and knee guards, are provided. Children in grades 4 to 6 may bring Game Boys if they are clearly marked and kept under the care of the house parent.

What not to bring

Students are advised not to bring expensive or valued items into boarding. Students are also asked not to bring money into boarding. Elementary students are not permitted to bring mobile phones, walkmans, radios, stereos, or bicycles into boarding.
Pocket and penknives with a blade of over 4 inches are not allowed. (Smaller ones must be kept under care of the house parents.) Fireworks, flick /military knives, air rifle, and similar weapons are not permitted. Tobacco, drugs, and alcoholic beverages in any form are not allowed.
Students in grades 10-12 may bring personal computers in to boarding. However, personal computers are not to contain or be used for movies or videos or for any material (such as clip art, games and sound clips) which do not meet MCS standards.
