Please also ensure your child is school ready upon return, as per the Uniform Policy, with no fake tans, no acrylic nails, no false eyelashes, one natural coloured hair and only one piercing in each ear lobe before their return.

Boarding House staff are here to assist however we can by accompanying boarders on shopping trips for any essentials you were unable to travel back to boarding with such as linen, school shoes and toiletries.  We will also assist with uniforms and textbooks if required.

On Sunday 28 January, the Boarding House will be joining all boarding schools in South East Queensland at Wet ‘n Wild for a day of recreational fun and connection. This is a compulsory outing for all boarders.
