Student Life


Boarding at Kinross Wolaroi School aims to provide a "home away from home" for all of our students. The school offers co-educational boarding on separate sites - the boys live at the main Wolaroi campus and the girls at the PLC campus, with both sites having enviable grounds. Boarding is divided into two junior houses for the Year 7s and five boarding houses for Years 8 to 12.

Girls and boys dine together for lunch and on their separate sites for breakfast and dinner and the current four week menu can be viewed under 'Dining at KWS'.

We endeavour to create an environment where students feel safe, nurtured and able to fulfil their potential. To this end Year 12 student are usually provided with single rooms and Year 11 boarders are accommodated with twin rooms.

Boarders are engaged in a wide range of co-curricular activities and there is great scope for personal development. The boarding staff are proactive and seek ways to help all students fulfil their potential academically, emotionally and spiritually.

The majority of our boarders are from rural New South Wales and the boarding community is very strong and active. The unique blend of co-educational day school with single sex boarding allows all of our students to develop holistically in a caring and helpful environment.
