Facilities

the-school
Selborne College has excellent facilities which provide learning opportunities for scholars in the academic, cultural, technological and sporting areas of the curriculum.

The Arts Block
The Arts Block is home to the Accounting, Afrikaans, Arts and Culture and History departments. The Major Lecture Theatre, Whippet, Ken McIntyre Museum, Public Relations Office and Neil Emslie Centre are also in this block.

The College Block
The College block is the main entrance to the school and is home to the Headmaster's office, the Library, Computer Laboratories, Geography, English, Mathematics and Xhosa Departments.

the-school2The Science Block
The Science block is home to the Engineering, Graphics and Design department and the Science and Biology Departments.

The Engineering, Graphics and Design department has its own computer laboratory which is used solely for this learning area.

The Biology laboratory has an internet-connected PC and data projector for the teacher to use during lessons. It was agreed at a recent Board meeting that the Biology Department will be next in line for an upgrade, very much in line with the Mathematics Department.

The Science department has a computer with special software on it that runs a variety of measuring devices for example, the ultrasound unit. The boys can experiment with the physics notions of speed, motion and acceleration.  A variety of chemical and electrical sensors provide computer data which can then be analyzed.

The Fitness Centre
The acquisition of a fully equipped Fitness Centre has been the highlight this year (2009). After years of waiting and planning the dream has been realized. All Selborne boys will be assessed and monitored from Grade 8 to Grade 12 each year as to their health and fitness. All the sports will be covered as boys prepare to perform at higher levels of achievement. We look forward to reaping the benefits of this exciting new development.
