Boarding – The heart of Canberra Grammar School
Canberra Grammar School offers the best boys’ boarding experience in the national capital. With a thriving residential community at its heart, the School provides a friendly and comfortable home away from home for boys from regional and rural Australia, from overseas and from Canberra’s large diplomatic and defence community.
The rich social diversity of the School’s boarding culture is reflected in the range of opportunities that boarders have at hand by living at the School. Not only do they get 24/7 pastoral care under the guidance of highly qualified and committed housemasters, nursing staff and counsellors, but they have easy access to the School’s sporting, academic and cultural facilities. These include the School’s heated indoor swimming pool, tennis courts and weights gym, as well as its extensive library, IT facilities and state-of-the-art theatre.
The School gives boarders the chance to play an impressively wide range of sports – from mountain biking to rugby, basketball, swimming, cricket, football, rowing and more. The School also offers an exciting and challenging outdoor education program and dozens of opportunities to take part in performing arts.
What’s more, by living in Canberra, boarders have all the advantages of the national capital, including access to its top universities, libraries, arts venues and sporting institutions. Plus they have the safety and ease that comes of living in a much smaller city than Sydney or Melbourne, with cheaper fees and living costs. All this together gives a real sense of community to the boarding houses, where strong friendships are forged, lasting years after graduation.
