Okay, we know it’s Friday… our EDM Takeover Thursday is running fashionably late this week!

There’s something pretty special about the way our boarding schools are bridging the distance between rural, regional and remote Australia and wherever they happen to be located.  At Saint Ignatius’ College Riverview, that connection is stronger than ever — not just through tradition, but through technology.  

Families from farming properties, rural towns, regional centres  and overseas are staying closely connected to their sons’ lives at Saint Ignatius’ College Riverview thanks to the power of storytelling. Platforms like Instagram have become ‘digital campfires’ — places where proud moments, everyday snapshots and big milestones are shared in real time. It’s no longer just a letter home or a phone call on Sunday. Now, it’s a story told as it happens — a try scored, a science project unveiled, a sunset over the river after a long day — all bringing the experience of boarding at Saint Ignatius’ College Riverview to life in vivid colour.  

But while the ways we stay in touch may have changed, the heart of Saint Ignatius’ College Riverview’s boarding community remains timeless. For generations, boys have arrived from across Australia and overseas to live, learn and grow together on 110 acres of heritage-rich grounds nestled beside Sydney’s Lane Cove River. They come for the education, stay for the mateship, and leave with memories that last a lifetime.  

In a world that moves fast, Saint Ignatius’ College Riverview remains anchored by our Catholic identity and Jesuit tradition, exemplified by our deep commitment to care — creating a sense of belonging that spans lifetimes and landscapes. Whether you’re a third-generation boarder or just starting to explore what life at Saint Ignatius’ College Riverview could look like, you’ll find a community that’s proud of where it’s come from — and excited about where it’s headed.  

Come and discover how the Saint Ignatius’ College Riverview boarding experience continues to evolve — connecting families, celebrating stories, and building bonds that go the distance. Saint Ignatius’ College Riverview are joining us for all of our NSW events this year and while social media and other online tools are truly helping those of us in rural Australia establish and maintain connection, there’s nothing like the opportunity of a face-to-face encounter.

Join us, and join Saint Ignatius’ College Riverview, at one of our Expos during 2025.
