Life at the school
This is a boarding school, so a student here does more than attend lessons. They sleep, eat, pray, play, read and grow up on this campus. These pages show you each part of that life: the places students use every day, the people who look after them and the things they do outside class.
Applications are open for Senior 1, Senior 5 and transfer students.
What a day looks like
A student wakes in the dormitory, washes, eats breakfast in the dining hall and goes to class. Lessons run through the morning and afternoon, broken by lunch. In the evening there is games time, then supper, then private study, then rollcall and bed.
Sunday is different. There is worship for those who want it, washing and resting, and more free time. Through the term there are sports days, music and dance, club meetings and a visiting day for families.
Nobody is left to work it out alone. Teachers on duty, wardens, prefects, the nurse and the chaplain are all part of the day.
Where students learn
The rooms and buildings the school day is built around.
Where students live
All students board. These are the places and the people that keep them fed, safe and well through the term.
Beyond the classroom
Leadership, clubs, sport and the arts. This is where a lot of the growing up happens.
For parents
Visiting your child
There is a visiting day each term, held together with the music, dance and drama festival, so you see your child and watch them perform on the same trip.
If something is wrong
Call the school. The office will put you through to the warden, the nurse or the class teacher, depending on what it is about.
Keeping up
Fee statements, term reports and school notices are in the student and parent portal.
