Someone's always waiting for me at the end of the day.

For boarders, a home away from home

Prep is Australia's largest junior coeducational boarding school and yet each of the five houses is a small family-style community.

The houses cater for children of different ages and provide activities and routines that are relevant to the particular age groups.

Connal House is the home for boys and girls up to the end of Year 5 (age 10-11 years) while Bligh is the house for Year 6 boys and Founder's House for Year 6 girls.

Our senior students are in Year 7 (12-13 years old) and their houses are Arnott (girls) and Brewster (boys).

Children come from rural and regional Australia, Asia, and the Pacific rim to join our school family.

Love, care, discipline and friendship ensure growth and learning.

There is always something to do - and someone who has time to listen.

We're the only elementary school in Australia with a history of multicultural boarding.
