Accomodation

Staying on campus is a great way to become a part of the student community and enjoy the facilities around the school. The college offers accommodation to its students. Accommodation is on a shared basis with two students occupying each room. The college does not provide quarters for married students nor does it provide quarters for student parents with babies. Students who are married or are parents with babies must, therefore, make arrangements for the accommodation of their families outside the college. The college does not guarantee accommodation for every student. This is so because the total student enrollment each academic year exceeds the available hostel accommodation; not all students can be given residential accommodation on campus. The hostels are organised into a number of halls of residence. Residents in the halls elect a representative each year to run the day-to-day governance and to deal with minor organisational and disciplinary problems that involve members of the hall. Each hall of residence is manned on a 24-hour basis by hall attendants, whose duty is to assist students with any immediate residential problems.

Sport

The college offers various facilities for sport, recreation and cultural activities. There are facilities for football, volleyball, netball and several other sport activities. A Sports and Recreation Officer assists students in the organisation of sporting and recreation activities. The mission of the college is to support the academic plan of the college through the provision of a wide range of programs, services, facilities and equipment to enrich the college learning experience, promoting personal growth and development, allowing participants to attain their goals as students and student-athletes and to foster a lifetime appreciation and involvement in wellness and recreational sports activities among our students.
