Hitting The Books

One of the great cultural contexts at Shore is its academic mindset.   It is expected that our students, boarders included, work hard to aim for academic success, and the boarding houses are wonderful places where individual and collaborative study takes place.   The boarders are supervised closely, structures and routines are clear, fellow boarders act as academic support and tutoring from specialist boarding tutors takes place during the week.   Add to that the fact that all boarding staff are academic staff who live on-site, and there is a plethora of academic frameworks to bring out the best in our boys.   With Year 9-10 exams starting in Week 4, and then Year 8 in Week 5, Barry House will be implementing a second prep each night during the exam period, with a second study session added each night before Lights Out.   Check out the Barry House boys hitting the books hard in preparation.
