Boarding

at Calrossy

I am a third-generation boarder here at Calrossy Anglican School. I have been supported and cared for over the last 6 years of my schooling, filled with friendships, laughter and growth. I've been supported every step of the way. There is never a dull moment in the boarding community.

I've been a boarder at Simpson since Year 7, there has been so many highlights over the years, the mateships I've formed with all the boys and the lifelong friendships. Being in boarding is like spending time with my brothers and I look forward to heading back everyday after school.

“Calrossy was more than a school to me – it was my safe haven surrounded by friends who became sisters and staff who would go out of their way to help. My time at Calrossy taught me that women can do anything and, when we work together and have each other’s back, we truly will go far.”.

Boarding at Calrossy has abundantly increased a sense of belonging to all boarders... The boarding staff are kind as well as supportive and make sure you are loved and cared, and you develop a meaningful bond with them over the years. Being at Boarding helps me a lot with my studies as you have peers and many resources to help you through everything.

I really enjoy life at Calrossy Boarding especially the strong bond that I have with all age groups and I interact with all age groups and the brother hood involved in that. The friendships that I have made over the years are stronger than any I have ever had before and I learn plenty of things from my friends from different places.
