Boarding : welcome

Boarding has always been central to the life of Campbell College. Boarding requires a boy to take responsibility for his own life and to get on with a community of other people. It also provides him with a secure base and a focus of loyalty in a large school, as well as an opportunity for exercising responsibility and leadership in a community.

School House is presided over by Head of Boarding, Mr Bert Robinson; he is responsible for the academic pastoral and social welfare of his boys and for dealings with their parents.

The House Master is assisted by three House Mothers, who look after the health of the boys and the domestic affairs of the House. Every boy is assigned to a House Tutor in School House whom he sees regularly, and has access to a range of medical, pastoral, and counselling services. The House Tutor is the first point of contact for a boy.

As a boarding and day school, Campbell College is committed to providing a broadly-based education designed to enable all boys to discover their strengths, and to make the most out of their talents within Campbell and beyond. It is our belief that the experience of living in a boarding community engenders respect for individuality and the difference of others. In School House we seek to foster self-confidence, enthusiasm, tolerance and integrity. Above all, however, we want all boarders to be happy during their time at Campbell.
