We’re so glad to welcome you to our Boarding community. Whether you’re joining us for the first time or you’re already part of the furniture, we’re really glad to have you with us!
As the first co-ed boarding school in WA, we’ve been doing this for a long time – and we know how important it is to create a home that feels safe, connected and full of opportunity. Boarding at Grammar is about more than just where you sleep. It’s where friendships grow, independence is built, and students are supported to be themselves.
To help make things as smooth as possible, we’ve pulled together some key information below. It covers the essentials – what to expect, who to talk to, and how things work day-to-day.

Short Term Boarding
Each week, we welcome a number of day students into our Boarding community. Whether it’s to stay the night after a late game, get ahead on assignments during a busy week, or simply make life a little easier – short term Boarding offers a flexible way to stay connected and supported. Students join us for meals, prep, and evening activities, with the option to stay overnight or just for the evening. To book a Boarding Stopover or Sleepover, please complete the online form – bookings must be made at least 24 hours in advance.
