Rathkeale College’s boarders are split between the three boarding houses. Rugby House is home to all of our Year 9 boarders who get a program tailored to introduce them into their new school and for many, boarding for the first time. The boys will be split between Cranleigh and Repton House which are both home to boys from Year 10 to 13.In Rugby House there will be two dorms of year nine boys. A dorm is a corridor that contains areas with two beds called cubes. There are around twenty beds in a dorm. All of the boys in a dorm are the same year level expect for one or two senior boys who are there to provide guidance and support. Senior boys will have cubes with doors.
Rathkeale College will endeavour to keep boys from the same country in different dorms or houses. International boys do not share cubes with other international students.This means that if we have two boys from the same country in Year 10 one will go to Repton House and the other to Cranleigh.
