New Boarder Arrivals
New Boarders and their families should arrive between 9am and 9.30am on Sunday 22 January. Parking will be available on top oval and families will be met by Boarding Prefects to help direct you where to go. Please leave your luggage in the vehicle at that point to prevent having to move it unnecessarily before the Towers are allocated.

Parents will not be permitted access to the Boarding Towers and should depart campus after lunch.

Dinner for the boys will be served at 6pm so please ensure he has adequate time to arrive and settle before dinner.
