Damon O’Sullivan: a once in a life-time experience

Share

Apprehensive at first about the idea of boarding school, 15-year-old Damon O’Sullivan from Dubbo has come to see the experience as one to cherish.

Starting at St. Ignatius’ College Riverview in 2018 was a big change from what Damon was used to at home, but it was a school tour prior to starting that gave him insight into what life might be like there.

“It made me really optimistic about attending Riverview.

“Being in a place where there are so many things to do was one of the great things about it…the art centre, the library was so big, and I imagined being by the river would be a really great experience.”

He spoke with Boarding Schools Expo about what life at Riverview has been like.

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.
