Junior Dons (JDs)  Junior Dons are student leaders who serve in the Boarding School in their Grade 11 or 12 year.  There are two to three Junior Dons in each Boarding family. They serve as support to their Dons  and as big sisters to family members. In addition, they organize programs for both their own family  and for the Boarding School as a whole. 

Learning Hub  

The Learning Hub is a teaching and learning resource space where students in JK to Grade 6 can  access desktop and laptop computers. Additionally, the Learning Curated online resources and  databases are available for students.
