College House

College House has excellent boarding facilities for up to 180 young men.

College House has recently redeveloped many of its facilities and this has seen the completion of the award winning Hart Dining Hall (2010), the O’Connor Wing Dormitory (2011) and the Colquhoun Dormitory (2014).

Three junior dormitories were refurbished in 2013. The renovations of the Recreation Room have been completed in 2015 and now proves to be a state-of-the-art facility for our boarders to utilise in their free time.

Wi-fi is provided throughout the hostel but is turned off during the hours of sleep.

Dorms

College House has beds for up to 190 young men with nine dorms varying in size between eight to thirty beds. All dorms are of a similar layout with bed areas shared in pairs with each pair separated by partitions. Year 13 boarders reside in one to three bed “flats” contained within each of the dormitories. Some of these flats include bathroom facilities. The sleeping areas are all heated to create a comfortable environment and are cleaned every day by our cleaning staff.

Study Areas

Year 9-12 study is supervised by College House staff in the Dining Room and Function Room. Year 13 students have study areas in their flats and follow self-directed study programmes. Year 12 students also have study areas in their bed areas for extra study requirements. Boarders who do not have their own laptop or similar are able to use one of 32 College House Chromebooks.

Dining Hall

The award-winning Hart Dining Hall was completed in 2010. This is a spacious area that provides ample space for all meals and other functions. Breakfast, lunch and dinner all take place in the Dining Room, seven days of the week. Boarders return from school to have their lunch. Afternoon tea is packed by boarders at breakfast and taken to school. Meals are designed to meet the nutritional needs of active and growing teenagers. Supper provided during the break in prep during week nights.
