Options for Boarding
Full-time Boarder
For boarders who travel great distances, Saints becomes their second home as they stay with us seven days a week during most of the term. They attend school daily and afterwards take part in sports training, organised activities and have free time. The evening routine begins with supervised study, one of the great academic benefits of boarding, with access to tutors. Dinner is served in Tolle’s cafeteria.
On weekends, boarders are involved in an exciting variety of organised activities, outings and sports, as well as further supervised study. On Sunday night, all boarders attend chapel.
Weekly Boarder
Weekly boarders, who usually live in Cairns or an hour or two from us, board Monday to Friday during term. They go home Friday afternoon and return Sunday evening. Their weekday program is identical to that of full-time boarders. (See above for further details.)
