Term

TERM usually starts by the 3rd of March and ends early in December. In April the entire school goes out for expeditions, treks excursions and camps. All groups are escorted by members of staff and the ratio is usually 1:10.There is a week's break at the end of the first term, which culminates in the OC week festivities. These include the Junior school concert, the school fete, cricket, tennis, squash matches with the old boys and end by the first Saturday of June.

Second term ends towards the end of August and Main school children go out for their second trek at this time. At the end of the Speech Day week which includes the annual school play, exhibitions, PT and Karate display and concludes on the last Saturday of September, there is another week's break. Children are not expected to be taken to the plains during the June and September breaks as the heat and pollution usually causes them to fall ill. Most boys utilize this time for camping and for the apprenticeship programmes organized by the Careers Club.
