Boarding Life
Home away from home
Boarding at Ballarat Grammar
Boarding offers young people the opportunity to be fully engaged in school life and form strong connections within a supportive and inclusive community. Our students build lasting friendships with peers from diverse backgrounds, while feeling a genuine sense of belonging from day one.
Through boarding, students learn to manage their time, take responsibility for themselves and others, and develop the independence needed to thrive beyond school. With guidance from dedicated staff and access to a wide range of learning, leadership and co-curricular opportunities, boarders are encouraged to discover their strengths and grow with confidence.
Our boarding houses are welcoming, close-knit environments that offer far more than accommodation. Each house is led by experienced staff who work closely with students to provide daily guidance, care and mentorship. This strong house structure fosters meaningful relationships and creates a community where students feel known, supported and valued.

Acknowledgement of Country
Ballarat and Queen’s Anglican Grammar School acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we learn, live and work, the Wadawurrung People, and recognises their continuing connection to the land and waterways. We pay our respects to their Elders past and present and extend this to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People.
Commitment to Child Safety
Ballarat Grammar maintains a zero-tolerance approach to all forms of child abuse and actively implements measures to identify and manage any risks of harm to students within our school environment. The care, safety and wellbeing of children and young people are central and fundamental responsibilities of the School. We are firmly committed to fostering a child-safe culture that provides an environment where students are safe and feel safe, where their participation is valued, their views respected, and their voices heard in decisions that affect their lives. Ballarat Grammar values diversity and strictly prohibits any racist or discriminatory practices. All members of our school community share the responsibility to care for children and young people by promptly raising any concerns regarding their safety, promoting their wellbeing, and protecting them from all forms of harm or abuse.
