Urban Boarding

Having considered the many needs of our community, and the many commitments our girls and parents may be juggling throughout a typical school week – with work, school and co-curricular or social commitments – everyone’s evening routine is different, and potentially challenging. This is why our boarding house also offers an Urban Boarding option, which means students can stay on campus after school, and parents can rest assured that their daughter is safe and managing her time effectively. Urban boarding offers the following benefits:

  • Reduce the commute
  • Focus on study
  • Nutritious meals
  • Shower facilities
  • Uniform & laundry service* (*minimum 2-nights stay)
  • After hours supervision

There are different options available, including multi-night stays, weekly boarding or term boarding. Whether you have an unmoveable commitment, a long commute or going away without the kids for business or leisure, we have an option that will suit you.
