Hostel Update

By OBHS Hostel | Posted: Thursday May 15, 2025

It has been another busy week at the hostel.

Hostel staff v students basketball 

On Monday night, we held our first staff vs students sports game in the school gym. This week’s sport was basketball! The students turned out in full force and were the clear winners on the day. We’re looking forward to next week’s staff vs students dodgeball!

House Quiz night 

On Wednesday night, we held our Term Two House Quiz Night, run by Leah in the dining room. It was a close competition, but Campbell House came out on top! See if you can answer the following questions…

Man of the Week 

Lachlan Gill is an easy choice this week. He is consistently on top of his work and keeps an immaculate room. Friendly and focused, Lachlan ticks all the boxes of a great student.

Winter wellness 

There has been a lot of sickness this week! As we head into winter, we are encouraging the boys to dress appropriately, especially when they are unwell. Beanies, hoodies, warm socks, and hot water bottles from home would be great additions!

Hostel phone numbers

Thank you for your patience with our contact numbers. We have upgraded our phones; however, coverage at the hostel remains poor, which we are actively working to improve.

Please note: we now have a dedicated Housemaster Phone line, which can be used to directly contact the on-duty Housemaster during evenings and weekends.
