Boarding facilities
The King’s School offers enviable boarding facilities across its campuses, with a number of high quality, purpose-built houses offering every home comfort and the support of deeply experienced and committed boarding staff.
Welcoming dorms and well-equipped recreation spaces foster an open and friendly environment, with plenty of opportunity to gather over a game of pool or table tennis or watch the latest movie.
Wherever they may be in their boarding adventure, students have everything they need to make the most of their time and maximise their learning potential.
Comfortable, stimulating surroundings
Boarding houses at King’s are designed to encourage a sense of belonging, build relationships and foster academic excellence.
They are places of community and friendship, learning and adventure and we place great emphasis on ensuring every boarder can make the most of their time during their boarding years.
The overall wellbeing of every boarder is of primary importance, and we provide support through a mix of comfortable surroundings, useful amenities and highly qualified helpful, supportive staff.

Technology and phones
Technology is a critical part of life, and we embrace it fully across the School. However, there are rules and limitations on the type and amount of tech allowed within boarding Houses. Our Southern Highlands campus applies a no-screens policy to encourage outdoor and creative play.
Each house has its own phones for shared use by boarders and their parents. These are in place to encourage family communication and there are rules on their use.
