Daily Boarding Life

Daily Boarding House Routines

Boarding House routines are designed for the wellbeing and safety of our students.

All students are encouraged to eat and study together, and take a break from devices in the evenings before bed. School policy is for devices to be secured outside their rooms overnight and the Boarding house doors to be locked at lights out. Adjustments can be made, with approval from MDD, for meal times, sporting commitments, and travel.
