The PLC Boarding experience
A home at the heart of PLC
Koorinya, PLC’s Boarding House, is more than a place to stay – it's a vibrant, supportive community where up to 90 girls in Years 7 to 12 live, learn and grow together. Located in the heart of our picturesque Burwood campus, boarders are surrounded by support, friendship and opportunity. Whether from regional Victoria, interstate or overseas, every girl is warmly welcomed and quickly finds her place in a home that celebrates individuality, connection and shared experience.
A strong community
At PLC, we believe boarding should feel like family. Our experienced staff provide care and guidance around the clock, helping each girl feel supported and empowered. Through shared meals, routines, laughter and learning, boarders build independence, confidence and friendships that last long after graduation.
World-class facilities
With modern, light-filled bedrooms, welcoming common spaces, and dedicated study areas, the PLC Boarding House is designed for comfort, focus and fun. Living onsite means boarders have access to the full breadth of campus facilities, being just a short walk from classrooms, the Senior School Library, the Performing Arts Centre and the state-of-the-art Joan Montgomery Centre. From music rehearsals to evening sport, every day brings opportunities to connect, explore and thrive.
Wellbeing
At PLC, wellbeing is woven into every aspect of boarding life. The Boarding House provides a calm, balanced environment where girls can feel at ease and be themselves. Regular check-ins, open communication and trusted relationships with staff ensure that each boarder feels genuinely supported. With access to onsite health and wellbeing services, boarders are encouraged to develop self-awareness, resilience and healthy habits. Whether participating in weekend activities, spending time outdoors, or simply relaxing with friends, boarders are given the space and support to flourish – emotionally, socially and personally.
