Chapel
Students in Years 9 to 12 participate in a 20 minute Chapel Service once a week.
Assembly
An Assembly is held most Friday mornings. Boys march into the Dickinson Centre in House groups accompanied by the College Pipe Band. Parents and friends are invited to watch the parade of Houses and to attend the Assembly.
On Fridays, boys who have earned a Colours or Honours tie may wear these instead of House ties.
Movement Around the Senior School Campus
Boys are expected to be on time for class. There is time between classes for boys to change their books at their lockers, have a drink or go to the bathroom and still be prompt to class. Boys are not to carry bags around the campus.
Bounds
Students must have parental permission to leave during the hours of 8.25am to 3.25pm. Parents must contact Student Services with the details. Students must sign out at Student Services, before leaving the campus.
Year 12 students may go to the Swanbourne shops at lunchtime once signed permission is received from their parents.
