A Message from the Rector

By Richard Hall | Posted: Friday March 20, 2026

How early is too early to enrol?

School House, our hostel, remains a key part of our school's character. Boys from mostly rural backgrounds come to the school to avail themselves of the many opportunities, the specialist boys’ education, the tradition and adherence to values, and the promise of friends for life.

Today, I received an enrolment for our hostel in 2031 — in five years’ time!

While the majority of us, myself included, are not that organised, we are currently sitting at 38 enrolments for 28 places in our hostel for Year 9 next year. So, being on the list is a great thing.

With the appointment of Lance Taylor, an old boy, to the Director of Boarding position, I think we will continue to develop the character of, and opportunities for, hostel boys. That will only enrich our school further.

Have a great long weekend, and I look forward to seeing you soon.
