A typical day in the life of a boarder at ֲý...
- Starts with both boys and girls coming together to eat a healthy breakfast in the refectory from 7.30 am.
- This is followed by a busy day at school.
- If a boarder is unwell after waking they would speak to boarding staff. The school nurse would then visit the boarding house and assess the unwell boarder who would be in the boarding house infirmary. The local doctor surgery is a very short distance from the boarding house, should a sick boarder need a doctor’s consultation.
- Boarders take their musical instruments to school if they have an instrumental lesson that day and their Physical Education uniform is also taken if timetabled for Physical Education.
- A hot lunch is provided in respective campuses, either Middle or Senior School.
- Senior boarders may return back to the boarding house if they have a “free study period” in lesson 6 on any school day, much like a day school student may return home if they did not have a formal last lesson on a school day.
- After school, boarders return to the boarding house at 3.30 pm and enjoy a healthy afternoon snack.
- Time after school is spent involved in school sport, doing private study or relaxing with friends.
- Dinner is all together again in the Refectory at 6 pm.
- Supervised evening “Prep” (homework) starts at 7pm (Sunday to Thursday inclusive), for at least one and half hours each night.
- Private study continues for senior students as they wish, with helpful tutors available until 10 pm.
- Wifi enabled devices are locked away in the evening for students in Years 7-11.
- Lights out are from 9.30 pm and bedtimes are staggered for the different age ranges.
