Students are encouraged to organise and participate in social and sporting activities, appointing monitors who have the responsibility for the care, maintenance and issuing of leisure and sports equipment provided by the Institute.   Netball, football, rugby and volleyball equipment is available.  Students elect for institute or individual club team membership according to term and semester timetables.  Wednesday afternoons are devoted to sport for institute students across all sections.  Students may play petanque or darts during informal moments.

Board games such as chess, cards and scrabble are on hand. Students may organise a film club or video viewing at weekends. Music and singing are a feature of student life and of social evenings.

Sunday night church services are organised within the campus by the Students' Christian Fellowship.
