The boarders are cared for by the full-time Heads of Boarding, Mr and Mrs Curtis, a qualified nursing sister, and understanding staff who are familiar with the needs and concerns of teenage girls.

Boarders live as part of a very large and very diverse community. As such, they are encouraged to assume responsibility not only for themselves but also for each other. It is this mutual support which makes boarding a very special experience, often resulting in life-long friendships that extend across Australia and around the world.
