We recognise that boarding is an excellent way to develop living skills; hence we encourage boarders to keep their rooms and shared living spaces tidy and manage their laundry.
Whilst boarders work on these life skills, the school does provide laundry and housekeeping services. Laundry services are provided daily, and housekeeping staff clean the boarding houses twice a week
Boarders enjoy well balanced and nutritious meals prepared by the school cafeteria team (managed by Grand Kampar Hotel), including Asian and western cuisine using cashless . On weekends, boarders receive allowances to eat out.
The school promotes healthy living by encouraging boarders to engage in sports every evening. They have easy access to the school’s sports facilities, including the Multi-Purpose Hall with badminton and basketball courts, fields for football and frisbee, netball courts, indoor artificial turf, table tennis room, swimming pool and gym. The boarding staff supervise all after-school sports activities.
The Boarding Sick Bay, located within the boarding compound, includes a treatment room, an equipped orthopaedic room, and bedrooms for recuperating boarders. Boarders who fall ill or are injured will be well cared for by our Boarding House Nurse in the Sick Bay.
Apart from ensuring a safe and secure living environment, boarding at Westlake aims to balance work and play while providing stimulating activities that broaden their learning experiences. A carefully crafted daily schedule ensures that boarders have ample time to complete homework assignments, pursue sports, rest and play, and enjoy building friendships.
During the weekends, boarders are exposed to uncommon sports events such as archery and enjoy excursions to nearby towns. Aside from the termly Pasar Malam Night and Birthday Celebrations, boarders look forward to special events such as BHP Appreciation Day, “Blow Water” sessions (a mentoring programme, ask us about it!), Boarders’ Camp and movie nights.
At Westlake, we recognise the growth potential of all our boarders, especially during the teen years. Our team of fully trained, full-time Boarding House Parents closely supervise the ins and outs of boarding life. They not only provide care and guidance but are very passionate about developing these teenagers into individuals who can make a difference for society.
