Emhlabeni & Elangeni

Bathroom facilities are communal for each sex. The central common area consists of a large common room, computer room, TV room and equipped kitchen. Computers offering elementary word processing, database and spreadsheet software is available to students. Students are encouraged to bring their own personal computers but it should be emphasised that storage space is limited and individual insurance cover should be arranged. Access to fax and e-mail facilities is possible in Emhlabeni.

Elangeni provides accommodation for a maximum of 18 IB boarders in shared rooms. There are separate wings for boys and girls, with a common sitting room, games room, and kitchen/dining room. Each boarder has a cupboard with a limited amount of hanging space, and a desk. There is wireless access to the internet.

There are two teachers' houses attached to the wings of the Residence, so that students have access to teachers during the night, in case of an emergency. There is a comfortable family atmosphere in Elangeni.

The emphasis in Emhlabeni and Elangeni, as throughout the College, is to encourage students to develop their own sense of responsibility and self discipline and the organisation of the residence allows for a considerable degree of student involvement in the day-to-day administration.

IB students are allowed to leave the campus during the day and at weekends (after having followed the appropriate check-out procedures) but are required to attend all classes and activities for which they have registered and to be on campus by 6.45 p.m. during the week.
