Boarding Facilities
Our institution offers boarding facilities for approximately 170 students, comprising approximately 80 girls and 90 boys. The boarding houses are organised into segregated areas to accommodate students of different genders. Our boarding community encompasses students aged between 11 to 17 years old, with a diverse mix of local and international students. In order to ensure the well-being and safety of our boarding students, we maintain a dedicated team of support staff who supervise the boarding blocks 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. These staff members oversee various activities and foster a conducive environment for learning and personal growth. Additionally, select senior students are appointed as prefects to serve as role models and assume responsibilities within the boarding community. We uphold high expectations for our boarding students, encouraging them to exemplify positive attitudes, behaviors, and presentations. They are expected to set standards for others to follow, both in their conduct and their overall approach to life at our esteemed institution.
