The Boys' College Open Day began at 8am from the Chapel parking lot. As visitors arrived and registered they were put into groups and taken by members of the Boys' College PR team on a tour around the school. The tour stopped at various stations where visitors learnt about different aspects of the school. The stations included academics, the house system, sport, drama, and clubs and societies. The Boys' College welcomed 70 families on Saturday.

Visitors could arrive at any time between 8am and 11am and they would be taken on a tour.
