Work on the
Oates House Form 1 Dormitory in Progress
All Junior dormitories in the College are to be given a massive
face-lift starting with the Form 1 dormitories. Work on the Form 1 Dormitory in Oates house is already
in progress. Two boys will share a cubicle which will have two
in-built cupboards and two desks. This will create a more homely
environment for the boys and give them some privacy.
