Our approach to Personal and Social Development for Lifelong Learning is encapsulated in the phrase the making of men, as Churchie aspires to develop young men of character, to lead and serve their community, through a learning environment that aids their intellectual, spiritual, moral and personal growth. This approach therefore is based on the School’s four tenets of scholastic attainment, spiritual awareness, personal growth and community service. |

The School’s modern and purpose-built dormitories are conducive to academic study, offering greater privacy, wireless internet access in every cubicle and increased storage space to enable a clutter-free environment. Individual rooms are provided to boarders from Years 10 - 12.
The self-service Dining Hall is both spacious and contemporary and offers ample food choice ranging from full continental breakfasts or hot breakfasts to theme nights (eg Steak Night on Mondays).
The Director of Boarding oversees the boarding school, assisted in each House by a Head of House, Assistant Head of House, House Mother and resident tutors. Three Nursing Sisters rotate shifts to ensure the School Medical Centre is staffed 24 hours a day and a doctor is available to attend to boarding students’ health needs. |
