Aberdeen students come from a diverse background from farming communities, where students travel some distance to school, in a town community, where the loss of the local meat works in 1999 has severely limited employment and the economy in general.
The school provides a stimulating learning environment which encourages all children to grasp opportunities in a variety of class and school programs. The school is developing a reputation for its programs in creative and performing arts and in debating, whilst maintaining excellent literacy and numeracy programs. A strong commitment to student welfare and boys' education programs can be clearly seen in the school.
