The school was established in 1982 to assist intellectually capable boys with a history of behavioural and emotional disturbance in establishing patterns of academic, social and physical success through expertise in selected sports. Boys usually remain at the school for two years, after which they can return to mainstream schools.
Curriculum: There is a heavy concentration on basic but highly academic subjects such as Mathematics, Written Expression and Reading.
Sport: The intensive sports program includes swimming one hour a day, daily fitness work, judo, skiing and karate. There is one camp per term, including a ski camp at Mt Hotham, a survival camp and a Surf Bronze Medallion Camp at Woolamai Beach. The cost of these camps is included in the fees.
