Orientation Day

Orientation Day is generally held on the Saturday immediately before the school year commences. New boys from Year 7 through to Year 12 are expected to attend with their parents or guardian. The Senior School Orientation Programme runs for approximately three hours in the morning from 9.00am to 12.00 noon. Boys will meet their Head of House and House Tutor, receive timetables and be taken on a familiarisation tour of the School. Textbooks can also be collected on the day if necessary.

The Preparatory School Orientation Morning for Years 2 to Year 7 will be held in Term 4 in the year preceding enrolment, whilst the Pre-Primary and Year 1 boys will meet for approximately one hour from 2.00pm to 3.00pm on the Saturday before the school year commences. Any necessary text books and course materials will be provided by the Prep School on the first day of Term 1.

There is a special Orientation Programme for new boarders that commences the evening prior to the main Orientation Day. The Director of the Residential Community will contact you to arrange an interview to discuss issues such as pocket money, leave arrangements and other administrative and personal matters.
