activites when they were juniors, says Scott. “So what we find is these activities mainly attract the junior boys. “Such things as a trip to the movies, to AMI stadium for rugby, to paintball or ice skating or something similar... Generally, the seniors have done this kind of thing before, so it’s mostly juniors that want to come along. They tend to love physical activities and paintball is very popular with everyone.” Scott says the expanded programme provides the opportunity for boys in the different boarding Houses to get to know one another, to have fun, to get off their computers and phones, and to get out of the House. Year 11 students can participate in a year-long agricultural programme, where they learn skills including the use of agrichemicals, the safe operation of vehicles and equipment, hazard identification, and fencing construction. This progamme is conducted through an external trades academy. The beginning of each year kicks off with some major activities.
