Destination Boarding - Podcast
The little podcast that tells the big story about Australian Boarding Schools
We cover all things boarding, from packing those bags for the first time, to waving the kids goodbye, what to expect from life as a boarder and beyond! We talk to some phenomenal graduates who attended an array of boarding schools across Australia and how it shaped them into the people they are today!
So if you're thinking of sending your kids away to school, or you're sitting on the fence, hopefully this podcast will help you make that BIG decision. I promise it will be life changing.
