Our environment
Set on almost 100 hectares of undulating
land and just 15 kilometres from the Perth
CBD, Guildford Grammar School is ideally
positioned to offer boarding students a
smooth transition to life in the city.
Boarders feel at home among the rural
setting of our spacious campus. Our
grounds on the banks of the Swan
River offer plenty of green space and
vast bushland expanses for students
to explore, be creative and be active.
Boarders can experience familiar outdoor
activites and hobbies that naturally reflect
their home environment such as bike
riding, sport and fishing.
Our enviable location and scale of
land afford a sense of freedom and
independence within the safe parameters
of our school grounds. Students also
enjoy all the benefits of city living, with
easy access to both Perth city and
Guildford village, providing students with
plenty of opportunities to experience
an array of recreational and educational
activities. Boarders can visit the local
shops and cafes in Guildford, explore the
surrounding area and play sport locally.
Senior boarders can travel into the city
on weekends, visit the beach or attend
sporting or music events.
As well as the physical space, the
boarding house provides a warm, inclusive
and positive living environment for our
students. It is a community rich in culture
and a natural extension of the home.
Our boarders benefit from:
• Open green spaces
• Rural setting
• Freedom and independence
• Space to explore and be active
