The school operates a 7×24-hour fully boarding environment. Students live on campus in a two-storey dormitory with floors designated for male and female housing. Each student has a single-bedroom with a bed, desk, and private storage; bathrooms are located at the end of each floor. A Director of Life and Student Care lives on the dormitory floor and works with resident staff and a health teacher to supervise daily life and wellbeing. Leaving the campus requires consent from the Director of Life and Student Care; the dormitory is guarded by security personnel and dormitory rules are published in the boarding handbook.
All students wear a school uniform.
The dining hall provides three meals daily, using fresh local ingredients to support growth and health. Menus are varied and regularly updated, with notices posted in the dormitory; themed fixed-menu options are offered to complement the school's Food Science extracurricular course. Boarders are required to eat in the dining hall unless unwell.
