A community in the
heart of a community

To be a Boarder at Shore is a profound experience of our head, heart and soul philosophy. Here the boys live and learn with each other in a space of mutual respect and collaboration.

Boarding as a way of life

There are currently 200 Boarders at Shore – a varied mix of boys from regional and rural New South Wales, overseas and weekly Boarders. This short film will give you some valuable insights into the lives they lead with us.

Trust and Support

Our Houses are staffed by men and women who deeply understand and embrace the essence of Boarding at Shore, most of whom are permanent teachers at our Senior School. They are here to provide care, mentorship, trust and support to the boys and help ensure a safe and supportive environment for them to live and learn in.

Health and Wellbeing

All Boarders at Shore benefit from our total commitment to Pastoral Care and the protection of their physical, emotional and mental health.

A Day in the Life of Boarding at Shore

The boys in our Boarding Houses live well structured lives. It’s essential for both their success and wellbeing that they learn to organise their days to optimise the opportunity for study, games, rest, and relaxation.

Weekends at Shore

The weekend routine includes full sporting fixtures on Saturday, and all Boarders who are not on Boarders Weekend Leave participate in Chapel on Sunday morning.

On Sunday afternoons, the boys will go on group outings or play games, while some of the older students can enjoy supervised sessions in the gym.
