Recreation
Guildford Grammar School operates one of the most comprehensive Recreation Programmes in the State. At the start of each term, the Recreation Officer produces a programme of the recreational activities to be offered over the coming months. Generally, each weekend involves at least one activity in which any boarder may participate and there are often occasions when boarders may choose from simultaneous activities. Events in the programme may include ice-skating, trips to theme parks and cinemas, socials, shopping, water-based activities, indoor sports and events with girls' schools. The Recreation Programme is posted in Houses, published in the Boarders' Bulletin and posted to parents at the start of each term so that both parents and boys may plan their weekend exeats and local leave.
At the conclusion of each formal dinner on a Wednesday evening, the Recreation Officer outlines the events of the coming weekend and boarders are invited to 'sign-up' to participate. Once admitted, boys are expected to attend their chosen event unless they liaise directly with the Recreation Officer in good time to make alterations.
