St Paul’s boarding is more than just accommodation – it’s a nurturing home that fosters a healthy balance of independence and community. This ensures that students benefit from the challenges of living away from home while enjoying the necessary supports to navigate those challenges. The College has a standalone separate boarding house for both the boys and the girls, with live-in staff who are on-hand 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to supervise, support, lead and care for our students. This staffing and care extends to a full-time Youth Worker, an on-site clinic with trained staff, access to health services when needed, including transport, leave approval processes, and open communication with homeand with support staff within theday school.
Both boarding houses are equipped with individual rooms for every student, renovated bathrooms and laundries, common areas, sports and recreational equipment, TV rooms, kitchenettes and tea rooms, surrounded by sports fields and gardens.
Our boarding community is a vibrant place with afternoon activities, team sports and weekend excursions on offer. However, there is also a formal study program in place, supportedby our supervisorsandsubjecttutorials.
Most importantly, our students are catered for by an amazing team of international chefs and are served three meals a day plus morning tea in the College dining room. The menu is varied, nutritious and greatly appreciatedby the students.
All of this combined gives our families peace of mind that their children are wellhoused, well-fed and safe within a community that prioritises student wellbeing, health and care. The Sisters have established a wonderful culture of student leadership, mutual supportandcare that ensuresasense of homeaway from home.
