Term dates 2024 Term 1 (11 weeks) Monday 29 January–Friday 12 April
Our routine Boarders are expected to be in residence by 8pm on the evening before term begins and dayboys should be at their House by 8.10am on the first morning of term. Blazers are to be worn to Monday and Friday Chapel (during Term 1 and 4), Wednesday Congers and Thursday Assembly. Dress uniform (suit) is to be worn on Mondays and Fridays in Terms 2 and 3, as well as Sunday Chapel, Prize-giving, and other formal occasions, as appropriate. Boys are encouraged to cycle or walk to school. However, if driving, we ask College families to stay away from the school gates in order to avoid congestion in Rolleston Avenue. House time is held every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday at 8.15am. There is a whole school Assembly every Thursday at 9.20am. Chapel services are held at 8.30am on Monday and Friday, and on Sundays throughout the year (dates and times are available on the website). Congregational singing practice (Congers) takes place on Wednesday at 10.20am. There are six 50-minute lessons on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday. On Wednesday, the first lesson is 45 minutes and, thereafter, each lesson is 40 minutes, which allows time for Congers and sport. There is a late start for students on Thursday, with no House time and Assembly at 9.20am. Thursday’s first lesson commences at 10am followed by six 40-minute lessons. The routine has sufficient time built in to allow students to transfer between classes. Any requests for permission to leave early or arrive late should be made to your Housemaster, in advance and with good reason.
