To students and guardians
Welcome to start the new school year!
In this leaflet you will find the basic information that students and guardians
need about what happens in Maunulan yhteiskoulu secondary school. It is advisable to read the leaflet carefully and keep it handy throughout the school
year. The leaflet also includes a preliminary working calendar for secondary
school with important dates and other information. Any changes will be updated on the school website (http://www.mayk.fi), so it is a good idea to keep
an eye on it, too.
Home Info Leaflet 2015 – 2016
Besides the secondary school, our school also has grade 10 and upper secondary
school. The total number of students is just over 800 this year. We have 65 teachers
and 15 other staff members. The International Classes that are taught in English
bring an air of internationality to the school.
The school year is divided into five study periods that are about 7 weeks in length.
Students study almost all the subjects throughout the school year. The lessons last 75
minutes in all subject except optionals, where the lesson length is 90 minutes.
One of the main themes this year will rise from the preparations of the new syllabus,
and it is the My Own School – something that affects both the students and the whole
school community. The theme will be present in different happenings and events, including homeroom teachers’ lessons and school theme days. Other coinciding themes
that we are bringing to the forefront this year are hearing the youngsters’ out, growing up into tolerance and facilitating learning. It is also as valuable to hear what
homes have to say, so our other main theme is Cooperation between home and school.
What could that mean as where are approaching the 2020s? This is where you as parents are invited to voice your opinions. One event in which you can do it is in the joint
parents’ evening for the whole school that you can find in the preliminary calendar.
We are hoping that many guardians from all the grades take part in it, as well as in
grade-based parent evenings.
On behalf of the teachers and staff, we wish you a very satisfactory school year!

Disciplinary rules and practices
Absences
The homeroom teacher must be informed of absences as soon as possible via Wilma, by calling the
school or via email. A guardian can also call the school office and leave a message for the homeroom
teacher about the absence. A guardian can mark an absence as legit, but the homeroom
teacher will still need a clarification on the reasons for the absence. If a student is absent from
school for some other reason except an illness, permission must be asked for in advance. If a student has a lot of uncleared absences, the homeroom teacher will ask the guardian to a joint
discussion, in which a member of the student welfare team can also participate if needed.
Accidents
If an accident happens at school or on the way to/from school, the school must be notified
immediately. The treatment is free of charge for the student in a public health care center. Possible
travel fees and their compensation will be handled case by case.
Behaving during lessons
Students must behave appropriately according to the teacher’s instructions and give everyone a good study atmosphere. Eating during lessons is forbidden without the teacher’s permission.
Bulletin boards
The school has bulletin boards in the main lobby and in the locker hall (for P.E. announcements).
Bullying
Bullying is not tolerated in our school. All cases that come to light must be reported to the homeroom teacher, subject teacher, school counsellor or prefect, so that the school staff is able to intervene. Also telling about it at home (no matter if you were an accomplice or a witness) and then
reaching out from home help in dealing with the situation. Our school is part in the KiVa koulu
(Schools against bullying) programme.
Bus cards
Students who live more than three kilometers from the school receive a bus card from school. The
card also contains value which is meant to be used on Saturday school days. The card is valid MonFri until 6 pm. If the card goes missing, you have to go to the HSL office, where the data will be
transferred to a new card. Card renewal costs 5 euros. On school trips, teachers have bus cards for
students who don’t have the school bus card. Students in the 7th and 8th grade return their bus cards
to school at the end of spring term, so that it can be recharged for the next school year.
Those who live outside Helsinki will get the Helsinki fee covered. The student must load TIME
(child regional ticket) so that the time loaded is seen on a receipt. The bus card receipts will be
handed over to the school business secretary Annikki Ura at the end of the term, with the student’s
name on them.

Celebrations
Traditionally, we have organised a celebration around the time of the Finnish Independence Day,
the end of autumn term and end of spring term. These celebrations gather the whole secondary
school with their homeroom teachers together into the Great Hall, to follow programmes made by
the students. We emphasise the importance of respecting others and tolerance, as we calm ourselves to listen to the performers of the celebration.
Classrooms
Classrooms 1 to 6 are located on the first staircase of section A, classrooms 7 to 12 on the second
staircase, and classrooms 13 to 18 on the third staircase. Classrooms 20 to 24 are on the first floor
of section A, and classroom 19 can be found downstairs. The IT rooms are on the second floor of
section C, whereas the music auditorium and technical work space can be found downstairs. Classrooms 31 to 34 are on the second floor of section B, and classrooms 35 to 37 on the first floor. The
diverse learning class and textile work space are on the ground floor of section B.
Clubs
Our school has a wide range of extracurricular clubs that are free for the student and led by our
teachers. The school club info leaflet gives more information on the clubs in the beginning of September.
Contact information
It is essential that guardians and students inform the homeroom teacher and school office of any
changes in the family’s contact information.
Copying/Plagiarism
Copying someone else’s work and then portraying it as your own is strictly forbidden and will result in the disqualification of the work.
Cycling
For safety reasons, we recommend the use of a biking helmet. Bikes are stored on the bike stands in
the school yard during the school day. It is advisable to keep your bike locked and visible to minimise the risk of vandalism or theft.
Disciplinary discussion, DiDi
If a student breaks the school rules or procedures, the subject teacher, DiDi teacher or homeroom
teacher will engage in a disciplinary discussion with him/her. If the need arises, also the student’s
guardian and (assistant) principal will take part in the discussion.
Exams
When coming to take part in an exam, the students must have the required stationery with them.
Before the exam begins, the supervising teacher will collect all the mobile phones into a box. When
the exam is over, the students will get their mobiles back. Should the student not give up his mobile
before the exam, but takes it out during the exam, the exam in question will be marked failed. If a
Maunulan yhteiskoulu
Page 13
Home Info Leaflet 2015 – 2016
student misses an exam, the exam will be done in the supervision of the special needs assistants in
the homework club the next Wednesday.
Getting sick in the middle of the school day
If a student gets sick in the middle of the school day, the school nurse, homeroom teacher or principal can give permission to go home. The guardian will be notified, if the student feels weak and it is
uncertain whether the student is able to go home alone.
Holidays
When planning family holidays, we would like to emphasise that there is a week-long holiday in the
autumn (week 42) and in the winter (week 8). It is advisable to book holidays for those weeks. If a
holiday is requested at any other time, the student must study all the things missed because of the
holiday independently and plan how to do possible tests with the teachers. The guardian must request a leave of absence from the principal or assistant principal in writing about a week before the
holiday.
Homepage
The school’s homepage can be found at www.mayk.fi. There you can find e.g. invitations to parents’
evenings, the school lunch menu, different forms and applications, information on optional subjects
and the study counsellor’s column.
Homeroom teacher’s lesson
A homeroom teacher’s lesson is held on the first week of every study period. Different themes will
be dealt with during the year, concerning e.g. class matters and class spirit, school work, tolerance,
disparity and multiculturalism. Class matters can also be discussed on other occasions, when
agreed upon jointly. The 7th graders will discuss anti-bullying themes with their homeroom teacher.
Homework
It is the student’s responsibility to mark down any homework that a teacher gives during a
lesson. If the student is absent, it is still the student’s responsibility to find out homework e.g.
through Wilma. Homework must be done regularly.
Info TV
There are three school info TVs: in the main lobby, in the locker hall and in the B wing corridor. Important and current issues will be posted there, so it pays off to see what info there is each day.
IT
The school network
The school has an open WiFi network that is accessible with the school account username and
password. It is advisable to memorise the password and renew it now and then.
Wilma
All the students have their own Wilma accounts. It is easy to check the schedule, exams and
exam areas in Wilma.
Maunulan yhteiskoulu
Page 14
Home Info Leaflet 2015 – 2016
PedaNet
We use the Peda.net portal as an electronic learning environment. Each student creates their
own account there. It is possible to save written assignments there (in the OmaTila and in
rooms created by a teacher) in all subjects.
IT rooms, portable equipment
There are two computer rooms in our school, classrooms 18 and 42, as well as tablets for use. New
students sign a paper concerning computer use when they start in this school (Netiquette) and receive their own usernames for the school computers. The same username is valid throughout the
secondary school.
Kick scooters, rollerblades and skateboards
Using kick scooters, rollerblades and skateboards is forbidden inside the school premises. We recommend the use of appropriate safety gear when using the aforementioned equipment.
Lockers
Students can rent a locker for 20 euros per school year. The numbered key must be returned in the
spring, and the student will then get 10 euros back. The rest of the money collected from the users
of the lockers will be used for the renewal of locker keys and the fixing of the locker doors.
Mobile devices
The use of mobile phones and other portable devices is permitted during a lesson only if the use is
part of teaching and studying. The teacher will always decide upon this case-by-case. The school is
not responsible for the disappearance or breakage of a device during a school day.
Mopeds
There is parking space in the school yard specifically meant for mopeds and motorbikes. Vehicles
left in other places will be moved elsewhere by the janitor. When driving in and out of the school
yard, extreme caution must be shown.
Morning assembly
Morning assembly is broadcasted via the PA system at 9.40 am, taking 5 minutes. All other informational announcements are meant to take place after the assembly.
Office
The school office is open from 8am to 4pm during school days. It is advisable to take care of matters
there between 9 and 11 am and 1 and 3 pm.
Optional subjects
The students can choose optionals for the 8th and 9th grades. In optionals, the students can study the
things that interest them very much or that benefit them in applying for further studies. The optionals are chosen in the spring of the 7th grade, and the decisions cannot be changed at a later time –
they are compulsory.
Maunulan yhteiskoulu

Home Info Leaflet 2015 – 2016
Parents’ evenings
We organise a joint parents’ evening for all the grades separately, as well as one conjoint evening
for all the parents. Attendance is notified via Wilma or by returning a separate slip on the bottom
part of the invitation to the homeroom teacher. More detailed dates are in the calendar and on the
school netsite.
Permissions
A subject teacher can grant a student absence from his/her lesson, if the lesson is the first or the
last lesson of the day. This must be done with good reason. A homeroom teacher can grant a maximum three-day absence. Absences longer than that must be referred to the principal or assistant
principal.
Photography
School photos will be taken during week 41 in October. A separate notice will be delivered closer to
date.
Prefects
The main aim of prefect activities is to help in making friends as well as in developing a positive atmosphere and joint responsibility in school. The prefects plan and carry out joint events with the
students’ union. New prefects are trained according to the principles of the Mannerheim League for
Child Welfare. Every prefect holds an important and responsible duty in his/her own support class.
Being a prefect is a position of trust, and it is a voluntary task. Being a prefect will grant a student a
certificate at the end of 9th grade. The prefects are instructed by Harri Kuokkanen.
Religious events
Our school celebrates Christmas with a church service in Maunula church at the end of the autumn
term. All the Lutheran students attend the Christmas service. Other students attend a coincidental
event at school.
Remedial instruction
Remedial instruction (30 minutes) is used as an aid to learning if the student needs brief revision
e.g. before a test or after an illness. Remedial instruction is principally given by the subject teacher
outside his/her own lessons. Remedial instruction can be initiated by the teacher, student or guardian. The student must come to a planned remedial instruction lesson.
Sanctions (Basic Education Act 36§)
Disciplinary Discussion
If a student has behaved inappropriately during the school day, the teacher has a disciplinary discussion with the student. The discussion is about the student’s behaviour
and the situation, and tries to find an alternative solution to the situation. Also further
measures are agreed upon. A student who neglects homework can be kept at school
after lessons to do his homework in supervision. The discussion and doing homework
after lesson time is marked in Wilma to notify the homeroom teacher and guardian.
Maunulan yhteiskoulu
Page 16
Home Info Leaflet 2015 – 2016
The student can be removed from a lesson for a while, if he/she is disturbing the teaching. The teacher will take the disturbing student into a supervised room and discuss
with him/her as soon as possible. Dismissing the student will be marked in Wilma for
the homeroom teacher and guardian’s information.
If the student’s behaviour is very intrusive and threatening towards other students,
the student can be dismissed from lessons for the remainder of the school day. The
guardian will be notified of sending the student home and reasons pertaining to it in
the same day. The student will have a constructive dialogue once he returns to lessons.
Detention
A teacher who has been involved in the situation talks with the student, contacts the
guardian and marks down the sanction. Detention is used when constructive discussions do not lead to any changes in the student’s behaviour or when the misdemeanour
is of such nature that detention must be given straightaway. Such misdemeanours include
 the use of violence
 theft
 fraud or fabrication in an exam
 the intentional destruction of someone else’s property
The teacher involved in the situation will contact the guardian and mark the given
sanction in Wilma. The length of the detention is one or two hours, depending on the
nature of the misdemeaour and discussion. The detention must be carried out as soon
as possible.
We go by the procedures of the Basic Education Act (36§) in all other matters.
School counsellor
The school counsellor Anna-Maija Juutila is available at school from 8.15 am to 3.45 pm Monday to
Friday.
School doctor
The school doctor is available every Monday. The 8th graders will go through an extensive health
check-up. The doctor can provide a youth health certificate for a moped license, for example. If
needed, the school nurse can refer the student to the doctor.
School lunch
The secondary school has lunch in two shifts: from 11 to 11.35 am and from 11.35 am to 12.05 pm.
The lunch includes salad, a warm meal, drink, bread and table spread. Everyone is also given a vegetarian option. The kitchen staff hopes that everyone takes as much food as they think they
will eat. If they are still hungry, they can take seconds. There is one meal line that is meant
solely for those with special diets.
Behaviour in the lunch room
Having lunch means also having good manners and giving others tranquility while eating. Outdoor clothes should be taken off when eating. After lunch, everyone takes their
own tableware back to the return line that has information on how to sort possible organic waste.

Special diets
Those with special diets are served their own lunch. A student must inform the school
nurse of a special diet at the start of the 7th grade (or when starting at Maunulan
yhteiskoulu). Students with special diets must inform the kitchen about longer absences
(sickness, travelling) via Wilma.
School nurse
Marketta Hyvärinen, the school nurse, is available at school every day, from 8 am to 4 pm Monday
to Thursday and from 8 am to 2 pm on Fridays.
School psychologist
Terhi Rawlings, the school psychologist, is available at school from 9 am to 3 pm Monday to Friday.
School yard
The recess area is the school yard right next to the school building. Leaving the school yard in the
middle of the school day is forbidden without a teacher’s permission.
Smoking and snuffing
Smoking and the use of snuff is forbidden on school grounds during the school day and in school
events. If a student is met doing this, the guardian will be notified.
Snack-o-mat
Students can buy healthy snacks from the snack vending machine, if the school day is long. The
snack-o-mat has fruit, yoghurt, juice and bread at prices ranging from 50 cents to 2 euros. The
kitchen is responsible for the filling of the snack-o-mat.
Special education
If students have learning or concentration problems, they can be referred to special education. Special education can be done individually, in a small group or as coincidental teaching. The goal of
special education is to support the students and improve their chances of succeeding in normal
school work. The need for special education is discussed jointly with the subject teacher, special education teacher, guardian and student. The special education teacher for the international classes is
Jenni Tanhuanpää.
Sports lessons (P.E.)
Sports lessons are primarily in the school gym halls or in the sports parks of Pirkkola and
Oulunkylä. Relocation from school to the activity site takes place during recess. Students are expected to dress according to the lesson plan and weather. The sports teachers will instruct all the
groups in the beginning of the school year.
Stationery
At the start of the school year, the school gives every student the basic stationery for doing school
work. The students must have the stationery with them on lessons for making notes.

Stealing
Stealing is a crime that the school always reports to the police.
Students’ union
All the students belong to the students’ union. The 10 members of the student board are elected in
the autumn. The student board can present matters for the school operating committee to discuss.
The students’ union organises different events with the prefects throughout the year. At the end of
9th grade the students can get a certificate on having participated in activities of the students’ union.
The student’s union is led by Jere Linnanen.
Student welfare multidisciplinary team
The members of the student welfare multidisciplinary team try to find solutions to situations where
the student has difficulties in his/her studies. This is done together with the student’s family. The
team includes the principal/assistant principal, school counsellor, psychologist, special education
teacher, school nurse and study counsellor. The team members are bound to secrecy. The contact
information of the welfare team can be found in this leaflet and on our school website.
Study counselling
Students and guardians can contact the study counsellors in matters pertinent to e.g. study options,
career choices or further studies. The study counsellors are Auli Fagerström, Marja Loukola and Tiina Öster.
Substance abuse
It is forbidden to use alcohol and drugs or appear under the influence during the school day or in
school events. If a student is seen intoxicated (or is in possession of substances) the school will notify the guardian and take necessary action involving public authorities.
Tardiness
Students must come on time for lessons. Tardiness will have a negative effect on the assessment of
the subject. If a student is late all the time, the homeroom teacher will have a joint disciplinary discussion with the guardian and the student.
Teaching outside the school premises
All teaching that happens outside the school premises is marked in the school’s strategy which is
approved by the school executive board. A teacher or other school adults will always accompany
school trips, that start from school and end at school or as is agreed upon according to situation.
Educational visit
An educational visit is a one-time familiarisation pertinent to one or more subjects that
lasts for a few hours. It can be a visit to a museum, a research facility, an exposition or
a theatre.
Educational trip
An educational trip is a one or two-day explorational trip pertinent to one or more
subjects. It has to be confirmed in the school strategy as an educational event.

Camp school
A camp school is an educational trip that has been confirmed in the school strategy. It
is planned in accordance with the students, guardians and teachers. All teaching, free
time, meals and accommodation will be organised out of school.
Others
E.g. sports days and different theme days.
Tidiness and comfort
Everyone can participate in making the school a tidy and comfortable place to be in. The school has
a lot of rubbish bins and different places to sort rubbish. After a lesson everyone makes sure that
their own study place is tidy.
Toilets
Students’ toilets are located in the ground floor of the main lobby, in the lobby of the lunch room
and in the ground floor of the B wing.
Vandalism
If students damage other people’s belongings or school property, they are obliged to compensate
for it.
Wilma
Guardians get their personal username and password for Wilma as the student starts 7th grade.
Wilma is an electronic means of cooperation between home and school. Wilma enables the sending
of messages and notices, and it is also easy to find out given homework and exams in Wilma. The
students have their own Wilma accounts, which makes it easier to stay in touch e.g. when sick. If a
Wilma account is lost or forgotten, the school office can be asked for help.
Work practice
9th graders have a two-week work practice period during the autumn term, whereas 8th graders
have a week-long work practice during the spring term. If a student doesn’t take part in work practice, the school days will be as much like normal school days as possible.
