The dining hall is also used as a prep room for year levels 9 and 10. Year 13 boys’ are required to assist the juniors with their homework.

Prep Rooms

A year 11 and year 12 prep room are used to create a smaller classroom environment to complete their homework in. At Prep time (6:45pm-8:15pm Monday-Thursday) each room is supervised by a housemaster, teacher or tutor.

Sports Grounds

School House has access to the school gymnasium and sports ground, including Littlebourne Park, Roberts Park and very close to Moana Pool. These grounds are often used for games of touch or other activities during the weekends.

Laundry
