 Kallawar and Montrose Boarding Houses welcome students from many parts of Australia and overseas, from Year 7 to 12.
While a boarding house can not replace a good family home the goals of the staff include making the experience of boarding a positive one and an enriching complement to the home experience. Benefits that can arise from boarding are the development of independence and an increased sense of responsibility for themselves.
 Boarding offers a unique opportunity to learn about giving, taking, sharing and tolerance for communal living. The sense of belonging and friendships that are developed throughout students’ boarding experience are aspects of boarding that we hope will be warmly remembered. Ultimately, a good boarding experience rests upon the positive attitude of the individual and the willingness to ‘make an effort’ in a range of situations.
We expect those whom we supervise to behave responsibly while in our care and to respect the rights and needs of all others who live and work with them. In doing so, boarders contribute to establishing a happy atmosphere, develop good relationships and benefit from living in a boarding situation.
