Teachers at St Boniface regularly work until 10:30pm.[4] Long hair and romantic relationships are banned among students, and mobile phones are forbidden for students and teachers alike.[3] All the teachers in the school are from other countries, such as Kenya, Zimbabwe or India: according to Yesudasan, "no Namibian teacher has proven competent enough to comply with the stringent expectations she fosters."[7] In order to maintain high academic standards, students who fail a grade are not allowed back to the school.[8] Not all alumni of St Boniface College have had success at university, and the school has been criticised for not preparing students for the self-study necessary at tertiary level.[8] See also{{portal|Catholicism|Namibia|Schools}}
