Our philosophy of pastoral care is based on ninety year-old House system. The House system was introduced in 1909 with the establishment of Thorold, Delpratt and McKinley Houses. There are eight day-boy houses and five boarding houses one of which is for preparatory boys.
All houses have a house-master and tutors assigned to each age group within each house.
Boarding is traditional at TSS andrecentupgrades provide some of the best boarding facilities in Australia. As well as our traditional intake from country areas we have boarders from all states and cities in Australia and many international students especially from New Guinea and Asia. The boarding community welcomes Mr Ward and his wife Jan and two sons Ned and Tom. Let's all make Mr Ward welcome in his new role as assistant housemaster of Thorold House. Incidently, Mr Ward will continue to the end of this year as day house master of Walker House.
