Students during boarding life at The Vale College

Comfort and community

Modern, purpose-built dormitories support academic study for students from Years 7 to 12. Privacy is respected, while participation, community living and consideration for others are reinforced each day.

Boarders dine together at breakfast, lunch and dinner in a relaxed family atmosphere that also encourages good manners and positive social behaviour.

More than a place to stay

Students can use campus sporting facilities and take part in weekend excursions, educational visits, music, art, drama and sport. The experience develops leadership, empathy, teamwork and self-regulation.

Full and weekly boarding options are available.
