Life in the House F rom their first day, each boy becomes a valued member of a House community. With seven dayboy houses (Condell's, Corfe, Harper, Jacobs, Julius, Rolleston, and Somes) and three boarding houses (Flower's, Richards, and School), every boy belongs to a smaller group within College where strong connections are formed. Each House has its own character, fostering a sense of identity, loyalty, and shared purpose that underpins daily life at College. Housemasters and dedicated House staff provide consistent pastoral care and guidance across all aspects of College life. They take a close interest in each boy’s wellbeing and progress, offering support with goal setting, learning, and personal development. This continuity ensures that boys are known well and supported over time. Leadership and participation are central to House life. Student leaders play an important role in shaping House culture, while interhouse competitions encourage involvement and contribution from every boy. From House Music and House Plays to the Kapa Haka Competition and Athletics Day, boys are given opportunities to represent their House and take pride in collective achievement. Through shared experience and tradition, the House becomes a lasting source of identity. It fosters pride, loyalty, and a strong sense of belonging that remains an important part of a boy’s life during his years at College and beyond.
