What is Productive Activity Time (PAT)?
In order for boarder to meet their PACES requirements, they need time to do this. During Productive Activity Time (PAT), boarders are free to focus on the things they need to do. Staff are on duty during this time and encourage and help boarders to fulfill PACES requirements. Staff may also organize activities or open up some facilities (such as the gym or pool) for boarders to use during this time. Everyday we have two PAT sessions – one immediately after school, and one after prep 2. Boarders are encouraged to join clubs, societies, sports and music groups after school. During the evening sessions, boarders are encouraged to use the time within the boarding community. Some boarders may want to run activities. Others may be practicing an instrument. Some may be working on a project or finishing extra homework. Others may be doing various dormitory duties. Of course it is also a good time to socialize and relax.
