Blackheath & Thornburgh College (BTC) has<br />
offered boarding since the school was founded<br />
in 1919.<br />
The boarding community is a strong, unified<br />
group of independent young individuals who<br />
cherish their time and friendships at the College.<br />
At BTC each child is valued for their strengths<br />
and abilities. The aim is to provide constructive<br />
support to help students find and develop their<br />
passions and talents. Almost half of the student<br />
body at BTC are boarders, which is why the<br />
strong sense of community and inclusion is so<br />
valued. Highly qualified and experienced staff<br />
who take an active role in the pastoral care of<br />
the students and establish strong relationships<br />
with parents ensure clear communication and<br />
valued engagement throughout the students’<br />
life at the College.<br />

The tradition of boarding has played an<br />
important role in the life of Brisbane Boys’<br />
College for over a century. It is here in the<br />
Boarding House that boys from all corners of<br />
the globe enjoy the camaraderie that boarding<br />
at BBC affords, building lifelong friendships<br />
as they immerse themselves in the academic,<br />
sporting, co-curricular, service and cultural<br />
offerings of the school, located just 5km from<br />
the Brisbane CBD.<br />
BBC’s residential curriculum provides boarders<br />
with intentional learning opportunities which<br />
develop their academic skills alongside life<br />
skills, teamwork and resilience to see them<br />
emerge as confident, capable and independent<br />
young men.<br />

Boarding at Brisbane Grammar School gives<br />
boys the opportunity to live on campus at one of<br />
Australia’s leading schools.<br />
In May 2020, the School opened Griffith House<br />
for boarders in Years 5 to 8. The modern facility<br />
ensures the boarding accommodation now<br />
matches the quality of the Academic, Student<br />
Wellbeing and Cocurricular programs.<br />
BGS boarders are part of a House ‘family’ and<br />
are kept busy through a variety of programs,<br />
from academic enrichment to public purpose,<br />
ensuring they are engaged and supported.<br />
The School offers flexible boarding options.<br />

Boarding at Clayfield is an incredibly<br />
rewarding experience where your daughter<br />
will learn and grow in a safe, caring and<br />
supportive environment.<br />
Sharing a home with girls from across<br />
Australia and the globe, she will establish<br />
connections with her Boarding family that<br />
will last a lifetime. Her passion will be<br />
ignited by immersing herself in the wealth<br />
of opportunities at her fingertips, including<br />
academic and co-curricular offerings.<br />
Through gaining a second family of girls<br />
from Years 5 to 12, your daughter will also<br />
be nurtured to be independent and to value<br />
and respect others.<br />

Boarding is integral to the Downlands<br />
Community and the boarders are the heart<br />
and soul of the College. Downlands adopts<br />
the family as its model for boarding, and<br />
caters for many rural families located<br />
throughout <strong>Queensland</strong>, New South Wales,<br />
South Australia and the Northern Territory.<br />
The boarding experience is much more<br />
than just meals and beds. Downlands<br />
provides an environment that promotes<br />
growth as an individual, the development<br />
of interpersonal skills and access to a wide<br />
variety of opportunities and activities that<br />
may not otherwise be available. Downlands<br />
is located in Toowoomba on 38 hectares with<br />
a 14 hectare on-site farm.<br />
