The Lampies Jonker Hostel, as part of Delmas High School, upholds an ethos of Christian love, following the command and example of Christ in Matthew 22:37-39: "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and first commandment. And the second, which is like it, is: You shall love your neighbour as yourself." Therefore, all residents must always treat one another with respect, kindness, consideration, and loyalty—both in personal interactions and regarding each other's property. This standard will also serve as the guiding principle in evaluating behaviour and disciplinary matters. The goal of our hostel is to create a secure and supportive home for residents, ensuring that every learner has the opportunity to develop and perform to their full potential. This applies primarily to academics but also to personal growth, as well as sports and cultural activities. The purpose of hostel rules is to ensure the orderly running of daily affairs and to create a space where every individual can embrace our ethos and objectives. It is impossible to have a rule for every situation. Where a specific rule is absent or unclear, normal educational principles and standards will apply, as determined by the Head, Senior Hostel Master, or the staff member on duty handling the situation.

"You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and first commandment. And the second, which is like it, is: You shall love your neighbour as yourself."
