Boarder Sleepover

For all #FutureCollegeBoys who apply to become a boarder, you have the chance to experience the unique #RedBlackWhite boarding experience at our annual boarder sleepover. Book now to reserve your spot at this exclusive event for prospective College boarders.

24 Hours in the Life of a Boarder

Maritzburg College offers a diverse and enriching boarding life. Boys who are interested in applying to be a boarder at College are encouraged to join us at the annual Boarder Sleepover.

Our annual Boarder Sleepover is enormously popular with boarding hopefuls at Maritzburg College. This gives boys a chance to meet other potential College boys, but also gives them a feel for the fun and diverse daily life within the #RedBlackWhite boarding establishment. This time lapse of fun, school life and structure gives boys first-hand experience of the young men they could become within these walls.

A Taste of Inimitable College Spirit

Depending on what’s happening at the school, boys participating in the sleepover will have a chance to go to a sports match and feel the wave of College spirit so typical of these events. Time is also set aside to tour the campus, go for a swim in the pool and play games on the legendary Goldstones.

PLEASE KEEP AN EYE ON THIS PAGE FOR THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF OUR 2022 BOARDER SLEEPOVER.

Boarding Establishment Life

A glimpse into the unique College BE community

The Boarder Sleepover is available to up to 120 boys every year. They overnight in Nathan House – the Form 2 boarding establishment. During the 24 hours, boys interact with boarders, who share their experiences of their first year in the #RedBlackWhite BE. They also enjoy a delicious dinner in the Keith Guise-Brown Dining Hall, learn the College shout, and get a chance to interact with some 6th formers and prefects before turning in for the night.

Parents of Potential Boarders

The morning after the sleepover, boys have breakfast and enjoy sports and activities. Parents go on a campus tour and join an interactive Q & A sessions to learn more about the school and the #RedBlackWhite BE from our staff.

Life as a Boarder

In the BE, second formers make bonds with the boys they will live, study, and play closely with for five years. Every #RedBlackWhite BE is alive with the usual happy antics and activity of boys going about their school days. These formative years are tempered by traditions. College boarders brim with stories about their boarding years – a time of their lives they will never forget.
