Two of Barker’s recent leavers have been awarded Rhodes Scholarships.

Special Programs

Barker’s approach to Pastoral Care stems from a fundamental belief that relationships are the key – the key to success in teaching and learning; and the key to effective and appropriate development as an individual; as well as the key to bringing staff and students together in the great enterprise of education. Care is provided in different ways as the needs of students develop. Athletics swimming rugby football cricket tennis cross-Country basketball Hockey softball and Netball are the main sports played at Barker against other schools although there are up to 20 sports available to students.
