Boarding is available from Year 7 onwards. The school offers weekly and full boarding options. Boarders are housed in dedicated boarding houses on the school campus, with separate accommodation for boys and girls. Weekend activities are organised for full boarders.
Students are required to wear school uniform in Years 7-11. The uniform consists of a navy blazer with the school crest, grey trousers or skirt, white shirt, and school tie. Sixth form students follow a smart dress code rather than a uniform.

The college operates a house system where students are assigned to one of several houses. Houses compete in academic, sporting, and cultural events throughout the year. The system fosters a sense of belonging and community within the school.
