At Flo Harris Lodge the options are many and the onsite facilities are modern. Below we provide you with answers to many of the common questions people ask:
Is Flo only for Christians?
No! However, because the Lodge is part of Petersham Baptist Church, we operate under the church's constitution and practices.
Do I get the Internet?
Every student has free access to the Internet in their rooms. The connection is provided as a typical wall-mounted network (Ethernet data cable) connection running at broadband speed.
Residents sign a "Computer Usage Policy" statement, taking full responsibility for the use of the internet in their room.
Is there an on-site laundry?
Yes. Residents do their own personal laundry - but bed linen is done commercially once a week.
How many telephones are there?
One blue phone is provided for outgoing calls. There is also a Residents landline available for in-coming calls. Most students now prefer to use their own mobiles.
What is the security provided?
Each resident has their own security key, as well as a key to their own room.
Residents are required to close key operated perimeter doors when leaving buildings. Also a security check is made each night after supper.
What are the tariffs?
Tariffs are reviewed each year. The current rate for a standard room is AUD$220 per week. The Bond is AUD$1000. Further details are available on application request.
Are residents required to do duties?
Each resident is a member of a small team, responsible for one meal wash-up per week. However, we do expect residents to act responsibly by keeping rooms and common areas neat and tidy.
