Co-educational boarding
Guildford Grammar School has a proud
history in boarding stemming back to its
Foundation in the late 1800s, when girls
and boys resided at Woodbridge House.
A key factor in our decision to extend
co-education into the Senior School was
the opportunity to provide exceptional
quality co-educational boarding for
families in Perth.
Strong community and family connection
lie at the heart of boarding at Guildford
Grammar School and we are excited that
from the beginning of 2020 brothers and
sisters will live and be educated together.
One school, one pick-up and drop off and
one schedule of school events will no
doubt be an advantage for families and
further strengthen this connection.
Boarding facilities
Construction is now underway on our
new co-educational boarding facility,
which will open in 2021.
The development includes separate,
secure living areas for girls and boys,
with both single sex and co-educational
social lounges. The new facility has been
designed to accommodate approximately
130 boarders.
The development incorporates flexible
meeting rooms and lounges, study spaces,
media lounges, kitchen facilities, a parent
lounge, office spaces, staff accommodation
and medical facilities. The development is
located on the northern side of Terrace Rd,
providing additional security and stunning
views across the Swan River flats looking
out over our 100 hectare campus to the
river.
Our plans for 2020
For 2020, female boarders are
accommodated downstairs in the
current Junior Hall of residence in their
own separate secure wing along with a
female staff member. This will enable
them to be fully integrated into the life
of the boarding community prior to the
completion of the new development.
Boarding at Guildford Grammar School
builds relationships for life and will give
your daughters and sons an incredible and
life-changing educational experience.
