Boarding

Year 9 to 11 students share dormitories partitioned into cubicles, while for part of their Year 12 year and all of their Year 13 year, boarders have individual rooms. All students have access to common rooms with television. The sports fields, aquatic centre and gymnasium are also available for boarders’ use.

All boarders are required to study - Years 9 and 10 for 1.5 hours and Year 11 to 13 for a minimum of two hours every night during the week. The study is supervised by teachers and other students who (can) help students with any difficulties. Boarders have access to the Library and computer rooms.

Boarders have access to the full range of sports offered at the College and enjoy the advantage of not having to travel home on completion of sports practices after school.

Boarders gather together for prayer every morning and night. Mass is celebrated every Saturday evening. Br John Koorey organises the liturgies.

The bonds of friendship formed during boarding days often last throughout life. Teenage boys enjoy the company of a larger group of their own age.

Every student is different so Hostel staff attempt to cater for individual needs and create a warm, hospitable environment. Parents are encouraged to make known any special needs, and to get in touch with Hostel staff at any time. In a Marist Hostel, a caring family spirit is a priority.
