How is the boarding community structured ?
The boarding community is housed in the four-storeyed Dragon House, which can cater for up to 100 people. The ground floor houses the secondary boys; the first floor, the senior girls, and the third floor, primary boarders as well as our China New Horizons (CNH) groups. Boarding and academic staff live side by side with house parents and local Chinese staff on each level, or in the separate staff accommodation in Phoenix House. All academic staff live on-site and contribute to the program and, in many cases, to the CNH program. Each boarding wing is staffed by boarding staff, who, as residential staff, look after the pastoral needs of our boarders. Unlike many other boarding communities, students from year 7 to year 12 live together in each wing, modelling the idea of family of which our community is so proud.
