Supporting a sense of belonging in boys is crucial for their emotional and social growth. A nurturing environment allows them to express themselves openly, enhancing their empathy and respect towards others.
While the fundamentals of education are the same for either gender, boys thrive in a culture that understands, accepts and celebrates the masculine without conforming to stereotypes about what it means to 'be a man'.
Our learning approach is grounded in a rich legacy of knowledge combined with the latest research and expertise on the optimal learning methods for boys.
We believe each boy’s educational experience must embrace these four essentials:
Learning Playing
Creating Being
These essentials underpin all our programs and support each boy to grow into the very best version of himself.
Every lesson we teach, every decision we make, every innovation we plan, is centred on what works best for boys.
It doesn’t matter how good you are at something, you can always do a little bit better. Learn about a personal best approach to learning.
Studies have shown that if boys have a strong sense of wellbeing, they have greater levels of contentment, concentration, productivity, vitality and achieve better academic results.

Because we know the relationship between a boy and his teachers is core to how he values learning and his ultimate success at school, great effort is invested in the primary years on ensuring these relationships are positive and nurturing.
It took years of research, design and construction to create the perfect environment for our Year 7 and 8 boys to grow, learn and thrive. It’s challenging. It’s different. It’s worth learning more.
Underpinning everything we do in the Senior School is our belief that you don’t know what you can do unless you ‘give it a go’ – and when you do, keep striving to do it better every time. Learning the lessons of effort, persistence and adaptability will ensure these boys thrive, both at school and beyond the gates.
