Frequently Asked Questions
Literacy
Our multi-faceted literacy programme uses class time, one-on-one tuition and computer-based learning to promote growth and confidence for all boys, from those in need to advanced readers.
Music
We encourage Prep students to participate in musical performance and a number of opportunities are offered at the school.
Boys can join the Prep brass band and the Prep choir. No previous experience is needed and instruction is given by experienced music teachers. Boys with previous musical experience also have the opportunity to join the College Junior Brass Band and the College Choir (by audition).
Boys can also participate in “Prep Rock Band” as an optional activity.
Music tuition is available for a large range of instruments during school time from visiting music teachers. The tutors set their own fees.
