Parties

JCH hosts a number of parties throughout the year, which are generally closed to visitors. No
parties are permitted in College without the prior approval of the Principal or Deputy Principal.
College parties, such as Student Club Parties and the Ball, must conform to the University and

Intercollegiate Policies. This means that there will be no drinks served and no amplified music after
11.00pm, and that pack-up and clean-up are completed by 12.00am. Additionally, all alcohol is
to be served within the strict guidelines of Responsible Service of Alcohol (RSA). When the Student
Club organises an event, it is responsible for adhering to these policies and laws. The Rooftop

Courtyard is closed for use on Party nights.

Drugs and alcohol
Janet Clarke Hall is required to abide by State and Federal laws regarding drugs and alcohol.
Drinking alcohol under the age of 18 or providing alcohol to someone under the age of 18 is

against the law both within and beyond JCH.

We have a number of people at JCH who are legally able to drink and choose not to. JCH
doesn’t have a culture in which you have to drink to fit in. The main concerns with excessive
alcohol consumption are personal, physical and emotional damage, alongside community

disturbance and property damage. Please note that JCH does not allow drinking games of any
nature, as they can quickly lead to excessive and irresponsible consumption of alcohol and
anti-social behaviour.

The use of illegal drugs such as marijuana, ecstasy or cocaine places College at serious legal,

social, and reputational risk, and places the drug taker at various levels of personal risk. There is a
strict no-drug policy at JCH.

Finally, please note that Janet Clarke Hall is tobacco free. Smoking, including the use of

vapes/e-cigarettes, is not permitted anywhere within the College grounds or building.
