For Schools

Our reach

For over two decades, The Boarding School Collective has been opening doors between boarding schools and families from rural, regional, remote and overseas communities. With close to 17,000 children and 7,500 families welcomed through our doors across 69 face-to-face expos and three online events, we are the trusted, proven way for schools to meet the families
they most want to connect with.

21 Years Strong – Proven Impact

From Dubbo to Emerald, Mount Isa and everywhere in between, our events have become a lifeline for families exploring boarding. Many come with choice; some come with no other option but boarding. All leave better informed, better connected, and more confident in their next step.

The Families You Want to Meet

Our audiences are decision-makers. Parents don’t wander through our doors by chance – they arrive with intent, curiosity and pressing questions about their children’s future. These aren’t cold leads. They are families actively researching and comparing schools at the most critical point of their decision journey.

How We Reach Them

Every expo is underpinned by a national, multi-channel campaign that ensures schools are seen far and wide. We combine:

  • Print, TV and radio advertising in regional and rural outlets
  • Targeted social and digital campaigns reaching parents across Australia
  • Partnerships with ICPA, CWA and recognised social media influencers.
  • Our podcast, Letters from Home, amplifying voices and stories into family homes
Alongside this, our website attracts thousands of parents each year, while our social and email channels keep your school in front of engaged audiences before, during and after events.

Premium Profiles - Extend Your Presence

Even if you can’t exhibit, your school can still be seen. A Premium Profile on our website acts as your digital storefront, year-round:
  • Dedicated school page with links to your website, video content and enquiry forms
  • Inclusion in searchable listings for families who can’t attend expos
  • Visibility in event follow-up communications to families

Why Our Reach Matters

Rural, regional and remote families are among the hardest to target through mainstream advertising. We’ve done the work to build trust in their communities – and for over two decades,

families have relied on us as a safe, authentic and reliable gateway to boarding school information.

By partnering with The Boarding School Collective, that trust extends to you.
