Welcome to Hopetoun Hall

Nestled in a serene, leafy street in Camberwell, just 10kms from Melbourne CBD, Hopetoun Hall provides a nurturing "home away from home" for up to 40 girls from Years 7–12. Our boarding house offers a harmonious blend of a charming, character-filled home and a modern, purpose-built residence. Conveniently located within walking distance of the tram, train, and Camberwell shopping precinct, Hopetoun Hall ensures that boarders have easy access to both their educational needs and leisure activities.

Academic and Personal Growth

At Genazzano, we prioritize both academic excellence and personal development. Our boarders participate in structured study routines and educational programs, including dedicated tutoring support. The diverse academic curriculum is complemented by a comprehensive co-curricular program that spans sports, music, art, drama, technology, mathematics, creative writing, languages, and social justice. This broad spectrum of activities allows each student to explore her unique interests and talents while forming strong friendships beyond the classroom.

Leadership and Community Involvement

Our boarders are integral to the Genazzano community, taking on leadership roles as prefects, house captains, performers, and members of our sporting teams. They frequently earn recognition through academic awards, showcasing their commitment to excellence and leadership.

Lifelong Friendships and Independence

Life at Hopetoun Hall fosters a unique bond among boarders, who develop lifelong friendships and enjoy numerous enriching experiences. Our boarding program is designed to nurture independence, confidence, and care, preparing our students to leave as motivated young women ready to maximise their strengths and achieve their full potential.
