Residence
Dormitories:
From classes one to eight the boys live in newly built
dormitories under the direct care and supervision of Matrons and
boys of the same age group are together. Our dormitories are:
Linlithgow for classes I, II & III, Remove A for classes IV
& V , Remove B for classes V and VI, Remove C for classes VI
and VII and Remove D for classes VII & VIII. Each dormitory
has about 34 boys with adequate locker, cupboard, toilet, common
room and linen room space. From class IX onward the boys move up
to the Main School, which dates back to the 1860's, and live in
Houses ( Curzon, Ibbetson, Lefroy and Rivaz) with all boys of a
particular house together. They are under the direct control and
supervision of their Housemasters. The Main School Matron is in
charge of the box room and sees to the cleanliness of clothes,
issue of personal items and other pastoral requirements.
House tutors:
Each Housemaster has between eight and ten House Tutors
working with him. Each House Tutor has about ten boys from classes
VI to XII attached to him or her. These tutorial groups usually
don't change so as to foster the ward / guardian relationship. The
tutors are responsible for the emotional, spiritual, physical and
intellectual health of their wards. Housemasters and their tutors
meet at least twice a month. Tutorial feed back is reviewed by the
Senior Master (Vice Principal) and Headmaster (Principal) at least
three times in the year. In the Junior School, from classes I to
V, pastoral requirements are met and control and supervision of
the boys is by the Matrons who live next to the boys in the
dormitories. The children have Class Teachers who function like
House Tutors for the children of their classes. Matrons and
teachers work in tandem and feedback is a continuous process
monitored by the Head: Junior School.
Prefects:
The Prefectorial System in India originated at Bishop Cotton and
prefects are appointed by the Headmaster after consultations with
the boys and senior faculty. Every care is taken to appoint boys
of caliber and responsibility and the Prefects are entrusted with
a good deal of authority which is closely monitored to see that
there is no abuse. The Prefects are led by a Captain of School,
his Vice Captain and the four House Captains. It is a great honour
to be appointed prefect.
