Late last year I interviewed Adam Larby, Head of The King’s School, Tudor House for our podcast Destination Boarding, I was utterly transfixed by stories of adventurous childhood experiences and the sense of belonging created for their young cohorts.
If you’re not aware of The King’s School’s southern highlands campus for primary aged boys and girls, including boarding from Year 3 to Year 6, then this Takeover Thursday will expose the very best of primary boarding this country has to offer.
Families choose boarding for their younger children for a great variety of reasons, not least, isolation. Be that remote living, or attending a very small school where they may be no other kids in their class, or indeed where families have been living overseas and children are heading back to Australia before beginning senior school. I know so many families who chose Tudor House particularly in Year 5 and 6, to allow their children to experience boarding and stronger academic curriculum before boarding in senior school.
For me, I would have loved the annual Billy Cart Derby where I would have designed the fastest cart and raced like a ‘Ferrari’ 😉 or maybe the camping …. somewhere in the woods where I would imagine I was Anne of Green Gables with my very own cubby cabin. Oh the endless wonders….thank you to The King’s School, Tudor House.
Enjoy this Takeover Thursday.

Where global thinkers grow
An idyllic boarding school for boys and girls at The King’s School, Tudor House.
The King’s School, Tudor House is the Southern Highlands campus of The King’s School, catering for girls and boys from Pre-Kindergarten to Year 6. Tudor House is one of the few schools in the country that offers co-educational boarding from Years 3 to 6.
Set on 169 acres in the New South Wales Southern Highlands, Tudor House is an adventure playground that offers all the health and wellbeing benefits of rural living with the added benefit of a world-class education. Medley House, the boarders’ home away from home, is situated in the heart of the campus and boarders are given a nurturing, family environment where they live, learn and grow.
Tudor House is currently accepting applications for 2025 and beyond, with boarding bursaries available.
EXPLORE THEIR SKILLS
Academic Excellence & Co-Curricular
As the only International Baccalaureate School offering the Primary Years Programme in the Southern Highlands, students are immersed in a culture where academic excellence is achieved through inquiry-led and transdisciplinary learning experiences.
Outside the classroom, the co-curricular program is expansive and offers many opportunities for children to explore their skills and talents while learning important social and emotional skills.
WHERE CHILDREN GROW
Character Development
Outdoor Education forms an integral part of students’ learning and promotes challenge, adventure and a healthy risk appetite. The King’s School, Tudor House’s co-curricular programs build upon the expansive academic program, which incorporates indoor and outdoor learning. They are designed to shape the development of each child’s character and leadership skills.
GRATITUDE TOGETHER
Christian Community
Living and working closely together fosters strong bonds and allows for meaningful relationships to develop. Witnessing the growth and development of the students, both academically and personally, is incredibly rewarding. As part of National Boarding Week last month, our boarders expressed gratitude to the many people who have and continue to help shape the boarding experience at Tudor House.
