Country culture in the boarding house

Share

How does country culture impact the broader school community, ensuring the community of boarding remains strong—and can we put a value on it?

The true value of country culture within the broader school community – let’s nut it out.

Let’s talk about the influence on the school as a whole by rural, remote and regional kids… is there school spirit without them?

The balancing act of our boarding house communities – how’s the experience in smaller boarding houses with a larger cohort of overseas boarders and/or urban weekly boarders ?

Panellists:

  • Natalie Kenny, North Queensland, Home Educator & Parent of remote boarding students
  • Ben Chadwick, Director of Boarding The King’s School, NSW
  • Fiona Aveyard, Central Western NSW, Parent.
  • Martin Gooding, Head of Enrolments, Knox Grammar School, NSW

The School of the EXPO Award celebrates genuine connection between families and schools. Voted on by families attending each event, the award recognises schools that stand out for their friendliness, presentation, and knowledge of boarding life. It’s a fun, interactive way for families – and their children – to engage with the schools in the room, while giving exhibitors valuable feedback on what resonates most. Each winning school receives a free registration for the following year’s Expo in recognition of their excellence.
