In time the boarding section was scaled down until it became a day school in the mid 90's. Sports. The school encourages its students in many different areas of sport.

Augustine was a key figure in the doctrinal development of Western Christianity and is often referred to as a "Doctor of the Church" by Roman Catholics. Two of his surviving works, namely "The Confessions" (his autobiography) and "The City of God", are regarded as Western classics and are still read by Christians around the world. Augustine is often considered one of the theological fountainheads of Reformation , because of his teaching on salvation and grace, Martin Luther himself also having been an Augustinian friar. Augustine was not a Biblical fundamentalist.
