Building Independence

As a member of our boarding community your son is taught to be independent and responsible for themselves and others. An important part of this independence is learning how to structure their time. Many boys say they enjoy the structure of boarding life as it assists them in developing techniques to organise themselves.

Below is a typical daily routine in our Boarding House.

During the school day, boys have lunch in Da Costa Dining Hall, following by a meeting with their Senior School mentor. When lessons conclude at 3.30pm; depending of the day of the week, students have a variety of options to undertake. These include sport training, local leave or use of the afternoon to relax with friends, listen to music, play in the games room or be involved in outside activities such as Cricket, Football or Basketball.

Boarders complete supervised study from Sunday to Thursday. Years 7 to 9 students complete their study in the Junior Study Room while Years 10 to 12 students can work in their rooms. During the study period, boys have access to a number of academic staff and tutors who provide outstanding academic support.

Following study period, boys have time to relax, enjoy supper and activities in the games room or continue studying. This is a great time for the boy to call home and speak about their day.

On the weekends, boys take part in sport activities while on Sundays boys participate in a service of worship in the School Chapel.

Leave is welcomed but carefully managed to ensure boys balance their commitment to school, home, family and friends.
