Holman House is one of the College’s boys’ Houses

Holman House is named after Sir Constantine Holman who was a member of the Epsom College UK Council for many years and its Treasurer from 1887 to 1906. He was also a preeminent doctor who became Vice-President of the British Medical Foundation and received a knighthood from King Edward VII in 1904. The original Holman House in Epsom College UK opened in 1897 as a Junior House for boys, and includes Air Asia CEO (and Epsom College Malaysia founder and Chairman), Tan Sri Tony Fernandes, amongst its alumni. Holman welcomes junior boys up to Year 9 and fosters a supportive, collaborative and aspirational ethos. Holman boys are principled, determined and channel their energy into the holistic education that Epsom provides.

Holman Assistant Housemaster

Mr Arafath is a Mathematics teacher currently teaching IGCSE and A-Level Mathematics, including Further Mathematics. He has always had a strong passion for Mathematics and began his teaching journey earlier than most, providing tuition to his peers in Years 8 and 9. This early experience led him to work as a teaching assistant in his second year at university, alongside his studies in Aerospace Engineering. Mr Arafath went on to obtain a Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering (Hons) and a Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering. Although he did not initially set out to become a teacher, he soon realised that education was his true vocation. His love for teaching, which he regards as a noble profession, continued to grow as he witnessed his students develop and succeed together. The challenge of problem-solving has always been central to his passion for Mathematics. Following the completion of his Master’s degree, Mr Arafath pursued a Postgraduate Diploma in Education to become a qualified teacher. Prior to joining Epsom College Malaysia, he worked as Head of Department for both Mathematics and ICT, teaching IGCSE and A-Level Mathematics. Under his guidance, students participated in international competitions, winning numerous awards and achieving outstanding IGCSE results. Outside the classroom, Mr Arafath is a keen sportsman and enjoys taking part in many of the sports offered at Epsom, particularly badminton, volleyball and cricket.
