The Busyness of Life Passes Us By

Tudor House is timeless. At Tudor house, we cherish childhood. Happiness and support combine to create an atmosphere of serenity. The boys do not have to contend with heavy street traffic, pollution, "unknown persons", and growing up faster. Our boys are privileged. Our boys enjoy the freedom to be "little boys a little longer". In the busy world, this is a luxury.

 

ACADEMIC: The Learning Central

Tudor House's Learning Central is an area where we focus on well-resourced, modern environments for classroom learning. This precinct consists of modern classrooms and specialist learning zones. Our classrooms are continually being upgraded to offer state-of-the-art learning resources. A major building focus is being undertaken this Christmas, which will see interactive whiteboards in every classroom; resources that are cutting edge, and interior designs that focus on learning for boys.


OUTDOOR EDUCATION: The Farm = Freedom and Fun

70 hectares of rolling farmland. This provides boys with wonderful opportunities to roam, to explore creeks and dams, to build cubbies, to ride bikes, to camp and to appreciate the beauty of the Australian countryside. In today's world there is little opportunity for boys to be able to freely play in parks but at Tudor House this luxury is granted with trust.

At Tudor House the boys have the opportunity to explore with friends, to accept challenges, to make mistakes and learn from actively participating on our pastures.

Kangaroos, wild bunnies, a diverse agricultural programme, a host of native birds... and space. This is a unique environment that grounds our boys with nature, freedom and fun.


BOARDING: Our House - A Sleep-Over that Lasts a Lifetime

A major focus on boarding is seeing Tudor House restructure and revamp its care and commitment to our boys. With the advent of the new Headmaster, we are building on our culture of kindness. A focus on our boarding house becoming a boarding home is central to the belief that boarding school offers boys such an advantage in today's modern world: our boys have opportunities to play as a team; our boys have space and we trust them to explore; our boys get out of bedrooms, switch off computer screens and PLAY. Our boys dine together, play together and laugh together. Our tradition emphasises our belief that boarding school for young boys HAS to be a mindful school.

Parents are welcome to just "call in" on their son. Our school is fortune for all.
