Michaelis House is a grand building being the former home to Sir Max and Lady Michaelis after the First World War on the Montebello Estate. In 1953 the house was converted into a hostel to welcome boys in 1954. Michaelis currently accommodates approximately 40 boys in Grade 9 in dormitories ranging in size from 6-9 learners per dorm. The Duty Staff team are also assisted by two Matric prefects and they do their best to ensure the boys have a happy and fulfilling hostel life. All meals are eaten at Rosedale House and after dinner the boys generally do two supervised prep sessions before bed. The ablution block was upgraded for the start of 2021, along with renovations to the beautiful conservatory, where Lady Michaelis used to grow exotic plants. These days it is used for study sessions with teachers and tutors.
