New Year – Same Spaces; Familiar Faces
It was a welcome start to the year for our boarding students. With a full calendar of activities ahead and much warmth amongst the community, they have relished the chance to reconnect with familiar faces and meet some new ones after a year of uncertainty.
The hallways of our Boarding House are once again filled with noise and joy. Our residents have returned to their ‘home away from home’ happy and full of energy for a new year. It can be a daunting experience to be away from the family unit, but the staff at Melbourne Girls Grammar have put significant effort into creating a great environment – one filled with opportunities to make lasting memories.
Replicating the Home Environment
When considering living, and studying, away from home, most would add to their wishlist safety, comfort, security, familiarity, friendship and a diversity of activities. The Melbourne Girls Grammar Boarding House offers all that and more! With its considered approach, the team ensure each resident has an experience that extends their education and development.
Parents and families have access to myriad communication channels to keep watchful eyes across the development of their daughters as they navigate studies, extracurricular activities, and celebrate personal successes. They have access to web portals and apps to ensure that they are able to communicate and keep in touch; they learn about classroom news and campus events, and of friends and new experiences.

After the Bell
Outside of hours, no detail is spared and the boarders have access to a diverse calendar of extracurricular activities including movie nights, giant Jenga and cooking. Regular meals are nutritionally balanced and everyone is encouraged to keep fit and healthy through innovative games like 'bubble soccer' and jogs around the picturesque Royal Botanic Gardens.
Our Boarders have had a great start to the year and have settled in beautifully. The returning residents have welcomed newcomers and familiar faces alike with open arms and assisting them to adopt respectful practices. The Boarding House is idyllically set in the cultural hub of Melbourne. Our 'home' is framed by the Yarra River, the Royal Botanic Gardens and enjoys views of the CBD. Boarders are encouraged to explore the surrounding parks and walking trails at the weekends and make the most of nearby art exhibitions and local cafes.
Our boarders are a diverse 'bunch' who celebrate their myriad differences and backgrounds open-heartedly learning much from each other.
