LIFE AT BROOKSIDE

The activities that we organise at Brookside Hall are aimed at completing university students’ academic education by giving them formation in the areas of cultural, professional, human and spiritual development. Students can freely choose to participate in a number of activities.

Spiritual

Brookside Hall offers university students also a chance to grow in the spiritual dimension.

All spiritual activities

are entrusted to Opus Dei (www.opusdei.org.za), a Personal Prelature of the Catholic Church.

Human Virtues Talk

Every week, students can attend human virtues talks aimed at building their character and at enabling them to make it through life more successfully by fostering the development of their virtues.

The main focus of these motivational talks is the human person and, more specifically, human character and virtues.

Social

At Brookside Hall we encourage students to dedicate their time and energy to those in need and to positively contribute to the community. This helps them to appreciate more the value of their own life and talents and those of others.

With such purpose in mind, students can participate in the volunteer work that Brookside Hall organises.

A Word From
Prof. Alex

Brookside Hall is not just a university residence and cultural centre for men. We offer much more.

We pride ourselves especially of two distinguishing characteristics of our offer:

Personal approach: at Brookside Hall we give importance to each individual student, having in mind his freedom and dignity as a human being;

Comprehensive formation: we believe that the university education that each student is receiving is only a small part of his development; therefore, we strive to complement this with activities in the areas of cultural, professional, human and spiritual development.
