We aim to provide top class support for our students with highly qualified teaching staff, a 24 hour medical team and a dedicated and friendly support staff offering laundry three days a week and daily cleaning. Over the years we have taken the time to match our provision to the needs of our Chalmers students and to the expectations of our parents. What we have now is a well-balanced and measured approach to boarding education which will add huge value to any student's education.

The day to day running of the house involves a rigorous routine that blends a need for relaxation and time to build friendships alongside a more regimented attitude toward study. The day starts with a 07:00 morning meeting and registration. This gives us a chance to deliver messages to students and check on things like uniform and general well-being. Students attend breakfast immediately after then head to the classroom for tutor time at 08:00. Our school day runs through until 18:00 for students engaging in CCAs and our evening programme begins at that time. Dinner is served with staff supervision in the school Dining Hall and the students have a brief time after this to socialise, use the school sports facilities, again under supervision, or engage in their own hobbies such as Lego. At 18:45 it is “Prep Time” this takes place in their own rooms and is supervised by houseparents and visiting teachers. After prep the students are given time to relax whilst enjoying a snack provided by school. Between 20:30-21:00, many students chose to make calls home using the landlines installed on each floor. Students get ready for the next school day and begin to shower and prepare themselves for bed at 21:30 with lights out at 21:45. All laptops must be handed in before 21:00.

As part of the education we offer in Chalmers we have a well-established system for rewarding positive behaviour and addressing poor behavioural choices with our Chalmers Code of Conduct. We closely monitor our boys and reward students  who contribute to the house or the school, being friendly and respectful and following house routine will provide an opportunity for students to be Chalmers Stars of the Week who are awarded with a special reward and tasty snacks for being top scorers every week. Similarly, we have our Code of Conduct displayed in several areas of the house so we can reference what the house expectations are if we need to challenge students to support their personal growth. The Code of Conduct follows that of the school and the other boarding houses; AY Ready - being prepared for school and studies, AY Respectful - treating every member for the community and all areas of the school with respect and AY Safe - maintaining self-discipline so that everyone is happy and free from harm.
