Boarding Community At Tudor House
We ensure that boarding experience for students at the Tudor House offers a nurturing, family environment. Ensuring your children feel comfortable, safe and secure while boarding. We work with you and your family to suit their needs – whether staying a couple of nites, a week, or boarding full-time.
The Boarding Adventure
When the bell rings at the end of each school day, boarders at Tudor House head out to catch yabbies in the creek, climb trees, play sport or build BMX tracks. We encourage boarders to be free-range children: active, fun-loving, curious and adventurous.
A student’s success in life, whether it be work, family or community, will largely depend on their character. Our Boarding program has character development at its heart.
Our Boarding team
Boarding staff are selected because they are people of good character, recognised for their integrity, capacity for patience, strong sense of responsibility and passion to see children flourish. Everyday situations that arise in the Boarding House are used by staff to develop the students’ awareness of their own strengths and weaknesses. Staff show how the application of positive values can help boarders manage the personal issues that confront them. Boarders are given experiences of service and a practical understanding of qualities such as humility, patience, consistency and responsibility.
Our Boarding program includes a wide range of weekend activities. On any given Sunday, boarders can be found fishing at Gerroa Beach, bushwalking in the Blue Mountains, horse riding in Kangaroo Valley, surfing at Kiama or camping under the stars somewhere on the School grounds.
