The school provides excellent and very modern facilities for our boarders to take account of changes in lifestyle and community standards.
Boarding accommodation ranges from small groups to single accommodation. The boarding house is divided into three houses based on age groupings and girls in each house are provided with study facilities of their own as well as recreational facilities including pool tables and table tennis facilities. Each year level is in the care of a Resident Supervisor and Head of House who is responsible to the Director of Boarding.
In the final years of schooling, girls enjoy single rooms (Year 12) and twin share rooms (Year 11). Each room is wired to enable girls to have a computer and is connected to the library with its multimedia facilities and access to the Internet. A telephone will be provided in each room on request of the parents.
To prepare girls to lead autonomous lives after school, recreational facilities include a fully equipped kitchen which may be used by the girls at the weekends if they do not wish to go the dining room. Common rooms and reading rooms enable good interaction between students.
For the whole boarding house, a full program of activities operates out of school hours to provide a home away from home in which young women may grow in safety in a caring atmosphere, whilst they are encouraged and challenged to extend themselves academically, culturally and physically.
The School Health Centre operates to provide care for those who are sick. A Boarders' Council operates to allow girls to have input into the decision making process. The school employs two qualified chefs and the dining room with its daily menu provides first class meals with a wide range of choices including vegetarian. |
