Kahiba

Kahiba is Aboriginal for "little boy" and is closely related to skills and opportunities learned in Scouts. Scouting became a formal part of the Boarders' lives. Cubs and Scouts were very popular weekend activities for the boys. This program changed and the School developed its own program called "Kahiba".

The Kindergarten to Year 2 children have Little Wildy (wilderness) area to build cubbies and explore.

The Year 3 and 4 children have "Cubby" paddock as a means of introducing them to camping.

A weekend based program for Year 6 was expanded in 1997 so that both Year 5 and Year 6 participate in Kahiba and it has become part of the academic timetable.

Outdoor Education has always played a significant role in the life of Tudor House boys. The founder, Mr Inman, had his boys exploring the shores of Sydney Harbour when the school was located in Sydney (1897-1902). When the school moved into Hamilton House (later Inman House) in 1902, the boys continued to "learn by doing".

The Outdoor Education program incorporates the School's farm, orchard, creeks and dams, as well as the tree and vegetation regeneration and conservation schemes.

Outdoor Education has continued to develop and a full Kindergarten to Year 6 program is designed, with Kahiba remaining the key two year program for Years 5 and 6 boys.

From our pages flow Australian prime ministers, famous authors, renowned artists, and successful fathers. Our heritage is strong, our focus is innovative, our expectations set high.

"We chose Tudor in the first place - to build the character of our children whilst still allowing them to be little boys. I wanted the Tom Sawyer experience for my kids. My son the other day was becoming very sentimental and said, "I would not have been able to do all of these things ANYWHERE."
