Food and Health

The development and maintenance of good health are of fundamental importance in Gabriel Convent. All our boys  & girls play regular school games and the whole school has fifteen minutes’ physical exercise every morning before studies commence. The School has a qualified doctor to visit the school daily to supervise the running of the School infirmaries and attend to the medical needs of staff and students.

Each boy has a health information form. This must be filled in by a qualified medical practitioner in order to help the school should any need arise.

The Buildings

The main buildings of the Senior Wing are grouped on three sides of a Quadrangle. leads to lower terraces where the Junior and Primary Wings, the Chapel and the Rectory (the residence of the Rector) stand. The buildings around and above the Quadrangle contain the School hall, dining hall, library, dormitories (each with its own bathrooms and lavatories), classrooms, infirmary, common rooms, and barber shops.

Schools have three dormitories for the Junior Wing (with attached Staff Quarters) and the Science and Computer laboratories. The school also has its own gymnasium, a cricket and athletics ground, two other playing fields, and courts for tennis, badminton, basketball, volleyball, squash and Eton fives.

The School buildings house comfortably over 250 students . The present size of the School is maintained, since to increase numbers excessively would jeopardize one of St. Paul’s educational principles, namely, the importance of maintaining individual relationship between teacher and pupil.

The School estate is well cared for by the Estate Manager and his staff, and the boys have the advantage of living in surroundings not only of exceptional natural grandeur but also of the cultivated beauty of gardens, lawns and planted forest trees.
