Our Department provides a welcoming,
value-based residence where students
develop holistically. In all
aspects, we embrace the four core
Residence L.I.F.E. principles:
leadership, integrity, fun and
education. Students are equipped
with the necessary skills to live
among a diverse group of people, and
are encouraged to live both
harmoniously and independently.
Activities in the residence are
geared towards providing
entertainment and relaxation, as
well as personal growth and
leadership. Residence mothers are
caring professionals who provide
guidance, emotional and moral
support 24 hours a day.
Leadership, Integrity, Fun,
Education
The Residential L.I.F.E.
programme provides a nurturing and
diverse environment, enabling
students to develop their
independence. Guided and supported
by residential staff, students are
expected to uphold the values of Ubuntu/Botho. Each residence provides a
safe, respectful, and peaceful home
for students. The girls are provided
with close support to engage with
practical issues such as
self-esteem, body image, grief/
loss, character development, and
leadership.
Students reside in one of five
residences on campus which are
supervised 24 hours a day by a
residential staff member whom the
students lovingly call “Res Moms.”
Each residence is Grade
level-specific, allowing students to
participate in age-appropriate
activities. These include social
activities that encourage grade
identity, bonding and sisterhood.
All residences have a council of
students who work with residence
staff to plan social activities,
build camaraderie and resolve any
issues that may arise. |
