Boarding at Peace

Boarder Profile

Heiwa House

Being co-educational, Peace is committed to educating boys and girls together so that they may develop a mature understanding of other people that will be the foundation for a satisfying working and social life.

Boarders at Peace are part of a family. Experienced live-in house parents in each of the boarding houses ensure that boarding at Peace is homelike and caring, providing a safe haven that aims to nurture Christian, ethical and moral standards.

Worship

The boarding community joins together in worship each Sunday. However arrangements can be made for students to attend worship at a church of their own Christian denomination.

Structure

Supervised interaction and appropriate segregation.

Our students are permitted to mingle freely during the school day. Classes are mixed and boarders eat their meals together. However, restrictions are placed on the amount of time boys and girls may spend together after school.

Boarders participate in supervised study in the evening and the weekends are closely supervised. Boys' dormitories are strictly out of bounds to the girls and vice versa.

State of Origin Boarding provides an opportunity for the growth of lifelong friendships, exposure to other cultures and the development of character, self-discipline, leadership and initiative.

The residential section is organized into 5 houses, 1 house for senior boys, 1 house for junior boys and 3 houses for girls. The houses are structured to parallel a family situation by having boarders of differing ages in the one house. The houses together accommodate a total of 93 boarders.

Recreation

A wide variety of activities is available to the boarders.

Health

The food provided for the boarders is first class. Students receive breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner and supper. All the meals are served in the College Dining Hall in cafeteria style.

A qualified nurse is available and accessibly to boarders at the Health Clinic during the school day and is on call for emergencies. A local doctor visits the campus weekly and appointments are made off campus when required for other consultations. All consultations with the Registered Nurse and Visiting Doctor are confidential and all boarding staff have certificates in first-aid.

Communication

Regular communication with parents is encouraged. Boarding houses have pay telephones available to students and each student has his/her email address. We invite parents to visit our campus and tour the boarding houses, dining hall and the College’s superior educational and sporting facilities.
