1. What happens at a Boarding Schools Expo?

Our Expos bring together a wide range of boarding schools in one place. Families can meet staff face-to-face, ask questions, and compare options in a friendly, relaxed setting.

2. Why are Expos held in these locations?

We take our events directly into rural and regional hubs so families don’t have to travel so far. Locations are chosen based on where there are venues that can host us (we need pretty big ones!), making it easier for you to access schools and information.

3. Do I need to pay to attend?

No – our Expos are completely free for families. Just turn up, bring your questions, and explore your options.

4. What is the ‘Spirit of the Bush’ Scholarship?

Our flagship scholarship celebrates the character, authenticity and contribution of bush kids and their families. It supports families to stay rooted in their communities while opening up educational opportunities at boarding school.

5. Are there other scholarships available?

Yes, many schools offer scholarships and bursaries. At our Expos and through our resources, you’ll find details to help you explore what’s available.

6. What are Live Q&As and who is involved?

Our Live Q&As are held at Expos where we can ‘fit’ the format and feature panels of future, current and past parents. They share real experiences and answer your questions directly, giving you practical advice and reassurance.

7. Have questions about boarding schools or the Expo experience?

You’re not alone. We’ve gathered the most common questions from families, schools, and visitors to help you plan your visit, understand what to expect, and make the most of your time at your chosen boarding school expo.

8. Can we host an event in our region?

We’re always open to bringing Expos or conversations to new communities. Reach out through our contact page if you’d like us to consider your area or if you would like us to speak at a function on the journey to boarding school, the transition and what it looks like once you’re there.
