Prep Time “Prep” is the time allocated for students to do their homework each weeknight. Prep for boarders in Years 7 - 10 is supervised in a classroom in the IT building by a member of the teaching staff. Students are expected to work quietly and make good use of their Prep time. Students in Year 11 to Year 13 work in their rooms in the Boarding House. A member of the academic staff is on duty during Prep in the Boarding House to support students in their work, and the School’s library is available in the evenings. Full boarders reaming in the Boarding House for the weekend will be supported to be establish their routine for weekend work.
