Each hostel has within it a Common Room. In this, students can relax by watching television, playing games or simply sitting and chatting. Opportunities for this exist both in the afternoons and in the evenings after dinner. On both occasions, House parents are on hand to monitor the students’ behaviour and to encourage those in need to take up some work. On Saturday afternoons and Sundays, Common Rooms are also used by students. Visitors often comment on the friendly and supportive atmosphere found here.
