Accommodation Register

Can you help?

Do you have a spare room, residence or retreat?

The KWS Parents and Friends Association are launching an initiative to identify families who may have accommodation in Orange or the local district that can be made available to our boarding families when they have a need to visit the School.

Our entire school community is very aware of the difficult conditions being faced by many of our KWS families and wider communities throughout this period of drought.

An accommodation register will be formed; outlining available dates and conditions under which it may be available. KWS will coordinate the register on behalf of the P&F and match families who have a need, with families who have accommodation. 

If you would like more information on the initiative, please contact the School’s Business Manager.

If you would like to register accommodation that you would be happy to make available, please email kwsaccom@kws.nsw.edu.au The School will then be in touch to obtain specific details from you.
