Day in the Life

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.

We would love to hear from you about your Boarding needs. Please contact Admissions on + 61 3 9808 5811 or email: admissions@plc.vic.edu.au

Daily Routines

With so many girls all leading busy, active lives, a regular week-day routine is necessary to accommodate the needs of all students.

A typical week day looks like the following:

8.20am	Depart for school
12.50pm	Lunch provided in the Dining Room
3.32pm	School finishes

10.00pm	Year 10 boarders prepare for bedtime Mobile phones and all other technology handed in
10.30pm	Lights out for Year 10 Year 11 and 12 boarders into their rooms

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.

Sharing meals is an important part of the Boarding experience

The Boarding House Dining Room is light-filled and situated with expansive garden views in the centre of the campus. All meals and snacks are prepared by caterers.
