At home. At School.

A PLC Boarding day is never an ordinary day.
 
After classes, girls move to and from the Boarding House, participating in sports, music, art and a wide range of co-curricular activities offered at the school, before sitting down to dinner and an evening of study, activities and relaxation.
 
We believe in the importance of maintaining close connections with family and encourage students to return home regularly on the weekend if they live a reasonable distance from the school, or visit relatives who may live locally.
 
Hear from our current boarders what a day in their life looks like, living at the PLC Boarding House.

Girls can sign out to go shopping locally any weekday after school, or further afield on weekends. Year 7 and 8 girls are accompanied on weekend outings by a boarding house staff member. Year 9–11 girls can go out together in small groups if leave arrangements are approved by Heads of Boarding. Younger girls go in small groups whilst Year 12 students sometimes go unaccompanied.

Boarders may change into casual clothes for the evening meal and uniforms are not worn during weekends.
