Boarding Life
After a full day at Jerudong International School, our boarders return to their Houses for the evening.
Watch the video here to hear from our Boarding students about what life in our lovely JIS Boarding community would feel like for you!
Or, look at the timetable below which shows what our boarders do after school each day. When you roll over each panel, you will reveal more information of what life is like.
For our full Boarders, living in Osprey and Eagle Houses, there is a programme of activities arranged at the weekends.
We love having families come and visit us too!
4pm – 4.30pm
End of School
4pm – 4.30pm
Back to the Boarding House...
End of School
4pm – 4.30pm
The school day officially finishes at 3pm, but we’re so busy with CCAs, study clubs and all the other fun after-school activities on offer that we rarely get back to the Boarding House until at least 4pm.
4.30pm – 4.45pm
House Meeting
4.30pm – 4.45pm
The whole House comes together...
House Meeting
4.30pm – 4.45pm
Every day our whole House gets together and our Head of House gives us any information we need to know. More importantly, it’s a chance for us to catch up with everyone and celebrate any achievements from our House members for the day.
4.45pm – 5.45pm
Study
4.45pm – 5.45pm
Guided study time...
Study
4.45pm – 5.45pm
We all have our own individual study space equipped with a computer and access to high-speed Wi-Fi, as well as communal spaces to work on collaborative projects. The best thing about study time is that there’s always a teacher around to help if we get stuck.
5.45pm – 6.30pm
Outdoor Activity
5.45pm – 6.30pm
Time to blow off some steam...
Outdoor Activity
5.45pm – 6.30pm
One of the best things about living in the Boarding House is living with so many friends and being able to play outside with them every day. With basketball and volleyball courts as well as a massive playing field, there’s always some kind of sport going on.
6.30pm – 7.30pm
Dinner
6.30pm – 7.30pm
Healthy, hearty and absolutely delicious!
Dinner
6.30pm – 7.30pm
We have the option of making our own food, but hardly anyone does because the food here is so delicious! There are options to suit every dietary requirement and we even have themed food nights with different cuisines from all over the world.
7.30pm – 8pm
Music
7.30pm – 8pm
Time to get those creative juices flowing...
Music
7.30pm – 8pm
Each House has a piano and a dedicated music area, so we all have the opportunity to practice music after school. Some students like to practice on their own, but sometimes we’ll invite boarders from other Houses to work on joint projects.
8pm – 9.15pm
Common Room
8pm – 9.15pm
And relax...
Common Room
8pm – 9.15pm
The Common Room is one of the most fun places to hang out in the Boarding House. With pool and table tennis, board games, music and movies, students from all year groups come here to relax and chat about their day.
9.15pm – 9.30pm
Matron's Room
9.15pm – 9.30pm
Everyone's favourite person...
Matron's Room
9.15pm – 9.30pm
Matron is the first person we go to with any problems, issues or if we just want to chat to an adult who isn’t a teacher. Not only is she medically trained so we all feel safe, she is also an amazing listener!
9.30pm – 9.45pm
Bedtime
9.30pm – 9.45pm
Good night, sleep tight...
Bedtime
9.30pm – 9.45pm
As the day comes to an end, we head to our bedrooms and get ready for lights out. Up until Year 10 we all hand in our electronic devices to make sure that nobody is disturbed and we all get a restful night's sleep.
