Boarding at St Ursula’s College provides an opportunity for each student to develop lifelong friendships and memories. It will also develop the capacity of girls to initiate conversation, build inclusive behaviours and cultivate self-reliance and independence. We recognise that the transition from home to boarding school is a significant step in the life of your daughter (and in the lives of parents) and we are ready to support your family every step of the way.
Our National Award winning Boarding House offers a contemporary setting for girls to thrive. Our aim is threefold; To ensure that every face has a place, to build culture through community and to support the growth of Boarders in becoming young women of courage and compassion.
Our staff are empathetic to your new experiences and will ensure that you quickly settle in and feel like you belong. Please do not hesitate to contact us if there is anything else we need to know to help ensure a smooth transition for your daughter and your family. We hope that you will come to call Brescia House ‘home’ very soon.
Our boarders benefit from daily supervised study sessions with qualified educators who can provide additional tutoring as required.
The College has three Registered Nurses who care for Boarders in our modern Health Centre. Students requiring an appointment are taken by the College Nurse or Staff on duty to the Medical Centre. For after-hours or weekend medical attention, the after-hours House Call Doctor is called. Parents are always contacted to discuss the health of their child before any medical decision is made.
