The Boarding Recreation Officer co-ordinates weekend activities to get the boys involved. There is never a dull moment. The residential staff organise weekend outings that include trips to Adventure World, Underwater World, Timezone, snorkelling at Rottnest and activities such as socials and movies.
There are also basketball, soccer and table tennis competitions. Every second year residential staff organise a social for boys in Years 9 to 12 with girls from neighbouring schools. Mid-week outings such as a visit to the Observatory, the Playhouse and special events are also sometimes on the agenda. These include dinners with girls from Methodist Ladies’ College and St Hilda’s Anglican School for Girls.
Boarders are encouraged to play for local sporting teams as well as for the School, and groups are often taken to watch test cricket matches and AFL football games.
