Welcome from the Head of Boarding Boarders at The King’s School, Tudor House live in Medley House – a large manor house situated on 169 acres of rolling estate grounds with all the comforts of home, facilities galore and dedicated, caring, professional staff. Tudor House offers a nurturing, family environment where children away from home can feel comfortable, safe and secure – whether staying a couple of nights a week or boarding full-time. When the bell rings at the end of each School day, Boarders at Tudor House head out to catch yabbies in the creek, play sport or build BMX tracks. We encourage Boarders to be free-range children: active, fun-loving, curious and adventurous. You won’t find electronic devices in the Boarding House at Tudor House; that’s why sleep comes easily and quickly. A person’s success in life, whether it be work, family or community, will largely depend on what kind of person they are – on their character. The Boarding program at Tudor House has character development at its heart. The building of character doesn’t just happen. It is something that can be taught, understood and practised. Our Boarding staff are selected because they are people of good character, who have a sense of integrity, a capacity for patience and a strong sense of responsibility. Everyday situations that arise in the Boarding House are used by staff to develop the students’ awareness of their own strengths and weaknesses. Staff show how the application of positive values can help Boarders manage the personal issues that confront them. Boarders are given experiences of service and a practical understanding of qualities such a patience, consistency and responsibility. Our Boarding program includes a wide range of weekend activities. On any given Sunday, our Boarders could be found fishing at Gerroa Beach, bushwalking in the Blue Mountains, horse riding in Kangaroo Valley or camping under the stars somewhere on our property. If you are yet to visit our School, please make contact with me. It would be my pleasure to introduce you to boarding at Tudor House.

School Values – We will Promote Humility
Integrity
Honesty
Compassion
We do not think more highly of ourselves than we ought. We are human and we share in the humanity of others. Being humble arises from our Christian belief that we are equal in the sight of God because we are all created in His image. Humility is strongly aligned with respect and compassion, for it is when we are humble that we are able to respect one another and are motivated to reach out to others with compassion. Being humble recognises that we are not always right, we get things wrong. BE HUMBLE.
Tudor House
We live our lives with integrity. To demonstrate integrity means to live a life that is integrated and balanced, cohesive and coherent. As a community which demonstrates integrity, we are unified and work together for the common good. We are trustworthy and reliable, we follow through with conviction and courage. Integrity is strongly aligned with responsibility and honesty, for when we are true to ourselves and one another and exercise responsibility, we demonstrate our integrity. DEMONSTRATE INTEGRITY.
We are honest. Honesty means being trustworthy, sincere and authentic. We are true to ourselves and one another. We do not mislead or misrepresent each other. As members of our community, our trust for one another depends on our honesty. Honesty is strongly aligned with integrity and respect for it is our commitment to being honest with each other that enables us to be trustworthy and live with integrity and to show respect for one another. BE HONEST.
We live to serve one another. Having compassion means caring for others, being kind and gentle. Compassion is stronger than sympathy or empathy, it is much more active and intentional. In a Christian sense, it is going out of one’s way to help others, to be generous towards others, to care for others and stand up for others. Compassion is strongly aligned with humility and responsibility, for it is from an attitude of humility that we choose to take responsibility for others and reach out to them with compassion. BE COMPASSIONATE.
Respect
Excellence
We respect one another and ourselves. Respect involves valuing people and property so that neither is dishonoured. We respect others’ beliefs and points of view. We do not bully or impose our will on others, whether in thought, word or deed. We respect ourselves by adopting a lifestyle that is balanced and promotes wellbeing. Respect is strongly aligned with humility and honesty, for it is when we are committed to the truth and able to recognise we may be wrong, that we are able to show respect. SHOW RESPECT.
We strive to be excellent for others and ourselves. We do this in order to make an outstanding impact for the good of society. Striving for excellence means seeking to improve and better ourselves, to be always growing. Our striving for excellence is that we may be excellent for the sake of others. Excellence is strongly aligned with a life of compassion, humility, respect, honesty, integrity and responsibility, for it is when we commit ourselves to serve others that we strive to be excellent for others. STRIVE FOR EXCELLENCE.
Responsibility
We take responsibility for others and ourselves. Responsibility means recognising that we live with others in a shared world. Living and learning in community means taking responsibility for contributing positively and actively to our community and our world. Responsibility for our world means living sustainably. Responsibility is strongly aligned with compassion and integrity, for we reach out with compassion and demonstrate our integrity when we choose to take responsibility for ourselves and others. TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.

Boarding Students’ Code of Conduct The School’s Code of Conduct underpins our expectations of Boarders and is the rationale of the processes and rules which support successful communal living. Trust and mutual respect are fundamental to ensuring that Tudor House offers a safe and caring environment for all who live there. We ask you to support our expectation that your child abides by the values and rules of the Tudor House Boarding House and that they are honest and respectful in all their dealings with Boarding House staff and fellow Boarders. If standards and rules are not respected, any breach will be addressed, initially, within the guidelines of the School’s restorative practices’ approach. For the most part, a reminder from Staff about what is expected will suffice — poor discipline is rarely an issue within the School community. A student will certainly be asked to reflect on their behaviour and apologise for any distress their action may have caused. The student may be asked to offer some community service within Medley House as a means of restoring relationships. If a breach is more serious, or demonstrates a repeated disregard for our
values, more significant consequences will follow. Possible sanctions are:
• Removal of regular privileges for a period of time
• Stick Parade (gathering supplies of
kindling for the boarders’ fire pit and dining hall fireplace)
• Suspension from the Boarding House for a period of time (decided by the Head of School for very serious breaches of trust)
• Termination of an enrolment by the Head of School for extreme breaches of trust.
In these circumstances, our aim is always to encourage self-reflection and growth of personal responsibility and to restore, where possible, the trust and relationship which a breach of standards causes in a community.
Pocket Money Boarders should never keep excessive sums of money in their personal possession in the Boarding House. Money or special cheques, passports, travel tickets etc. should be handed to the Head of Boarding for safe keeping.
Policy on Bullying Bullying or any form of harassment is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. Bullying is the deliberate, persistent physical or psychological intimidation of a person by another person or group with the intent of causing hurt or discomfort. Types of bullying include physical, verbal, gesture, extortion, exclusion, E-bullying. Any case of bullying will be dealt with according to the procedures set down in the The King’s School Student Bullying Policy and outlined in the School Diary.
Bikes and Skateboards Boarders may keep a bike and skateboard at program school. Students in Years 3–6 at Tudor House may ride bikes at recess, lunch and after school. Boarders may also ride their bikes at other times including after dinner and on weekends.

Settling into Tudor House At the beginning of each year, new Boarders and their families will be invited to attend the Boarders’ Orientation program. On the day before School starts we also have a luncheon for families, teaching staff, Boarder support families, guardians and Boarding Staff. This is an excellent opportunity to meet with the staff who will be looking after your child.
Provide a sympathetic ear for your child when you ring and help put any concerns in context. Try and limit phone calls to 2 or 3 times per week (10 minutes each call). Remind your child of the reasons you all chose boarding and the opportunities that will open up for them. Staff and fellow Boarders will also assist your child as each adjusts to their new life at Tudor House.
The first term will be significant for your son or daughter. As they are leaving home and their previous School, new Boarders will face a steep learning curve, which will be exciting at first but brings mixed feelings. Your child will be looking after themselves and making new decisions, learning the names of many new friends and potentially sharing a room with someone they probably have not met before. New Boarders learn a whole new routine when beginning at a new School. Class work will be different and it will take time getting to know many new teachers.
Homesickness affects almost all Boarders from time to time. Other Boarders are helpful to talk to and peers provide wonderful support. Tudor House Captains, Staff, the Head of Boarding and Boarding Staff are always ready to offer further assistance.
Lights Out Boarders have Quiet Reading (in their beds) each Monday – Thursday evening at 8.00pm. Lights Out for all boarders is 8.30pm. On weekends, and at the Boarding Staff’s discretion, bedtimes may be later.
9
Camping Boarders are able to camp out on our 169 acres on Friday and Saturday nights – as long as they are in a group of at least three, abide by the School’s standards of safety and organisation and meet the approval of the Head of Boarding. Students can choose to camp out under the stars in a swag or camp in one of our huts. If Boarders give our catering team enough notice, they are able to cook their own meals on their own camp fires.

Boarding at Tudor House A Brief History
Relationships
Wilfred A. Inman founded Tudor House School on 12 October 1887 at ‘Erowal’, Bellevue Hill, in Sydney. He was the first Head of School and in February 1899 moved the School to ‘Carrara’, Vaucluse, Sydney in the present ‘Strickland House’. In December 1901, Mr Inman took possession of ‘Hamilton House,’ Moss Vale and in January 1902 moved the School to its present site and continued as Head of School until his retirement in 1908.
At Tudor House, we are committed to positive relationships because they promote student wellbeing and nurture independent, resilient young people with a strong sense of responsibility for themselves and their community. As a member of Medley House, each student is expected to adhere to a high standard of behaviour which reflects respect for, and care of, others, themselves and our environment.
Medley House was named after Mr J.D.G. Medley (later Sir John) who came to the School as Head of School in January 1931 and remained until his appointment as Vice Chancellor of Melbourne University in 1938. These were exciting years under Mr Medley’s leadership and numbers constantly grew. The rapid growth of the School meant that there was a pressing need for additional accommodation for the Senior Boys, and in 1936 the new Senior House was built. It consisted of four dorms of ten and a Master’s quarters.
• Take an active stance in Boarders’
Policies Summaries of key School policies are printed in the Student Diary and the full policies are available on the The King’s School website.
Student Leadership Each year, the Boarders elect a Captain of Boarding from Year 6. Boarding Captains are commissioned along with all School Leaders at Prize Day. The role of Boarding Captain, is to:
Medley House was opened by His Grace, The Archbishop of Sydney on July 18, 1936. A new wing with another dorm and further Master’s accommodation was built in 1947.The Medley House tablet was unveiled by the House Captain and Captain of the School D.R. de Kanyzow. On that occasion, the then Head of School Mr E.L. Dixon stated that: “The generations of boys during and since Mr Medley’s time and all those Tudorians yet to come, owe Mr Medley the survival of the School and many of its best features.” [Tudorian December, 1950]

Facilities Tudor House is located on over 169 acres with a swimming pool, camping grounds, archery range, sporting fields, tennis and basketball courts, a music centre, BMX track, woodwork room, and more. The School is located in Moss Vale - the heart of the Southern Highlands. Our Boarders enjoy a country schooling experience with easy access to Sydney and Canberra. Tudor House is less than an hour away from some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Boarders have full access to Tudor House facilities.
Music Practice Music practice rooms are available for Boarders. Practice is supervised when Boarders practice their musical instruments for thirty minutes each day.

Pastoral Care and Supervision The Boarding Staff seek to create a boarding environment that is as home-like as possible. Parents are encouraged to maintain contact with their child (phone calls 2 to 3 times per week) and visit Medley House whenever they are in The Southern Highlands. Boarding Staff strive to:
• Recognise and foster the individual
talents and potential of each student
• Encourage students to participate
actively in the academic, social, spiritual, cultural and recreational aspects of our Boarding Community
• Help students grow towards maturity with developing confidence, selfdiscipline and integrity
• Guide students towards responsible
and independent decision making, in accordance with Christian values of our Mission Statement
• Establish effective study and work patterns.
In partnership with School Staff, Boarding Staff endeavour to meet the pastoral care needs of students and to build protective factors that will promote student development. We want Boarding students to feel happy, comfortable and secure. All members of Medley House contribute to building a strong sense of community. A culture of sharing and mutual respect is
fostered. Peer support is encouraged and students are actively involved in decision making about matters that affect their daily lives. Caring for each other is an integral part of life in the Boarding House. Induction processes for new Boarders help them to learn coping strategies to deal with the changes in their lifestyle and students are urged to share any concerns they may have with a member of staff or another student. Close contact is maintained with School Staff regarding the health and wellbeing, personal and social development and academic progress of each student. The Head of Boarding will contact parents about any matters of concern regarding their child and parents should not hesitate to contact staff with any concerns. All current employees of The King’s School, Tudor House must hold a current Working with Children Clearance Check Certificate. The School’s Child Protection Policy complies with all legislative requirements. All staff are required to report any concerns to the Head of School. Each Boarder has access to academic support from Boarding Staff who are available throughout the day and in the evenings. Boarding Staff assist Boarders with their homework, providing direction and enabling them to make the most of their Prep time outside of the classroom.
13
Safety The safety of our Boarders is paramount. No student is allowed to leave the grounds of Tudor House without permission from the Head of Boarding. Students must return to Medley House at the time specified on their approved leave. If changes to this must be made, contact by phone with the Boarding Staff on duty is expected. Students must be escorted back to Medley House by their host. The host must be sighted by the Boarding Staff on duty and sign the Boarder back into Medley House.
Security Boarding duty staff are present in Medley House seven days a week, 24 hours a day. When Medley House is open, there are always two Boarding duty staff present.
Emergency drills There are regular Emergency Drills and every Boarder is instructed on what to do in the event of an emergency situation.
14
Medical Services Health Centre The School Health Centre is staffed by a Registered Nurse (RN), who maintains current registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia, through the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency. The Health Centre is located near the entrance to the Boarding House. The role of the School Nurse and Health Centre is to provide the link between the Boarders, families, staff, the community and Health Professionals. The School Nurse is responsible for the day to day health of all students.
Health Centre Procedures When a student is injured or unwell, the School Nurse on duty will assess the student and refer the student to the relevant health professionals as required. The student may be able to recover from illness or injury at School, but if it is deemed necessary for the student to return home to recover, the School Nurse will contact the child’s parent/s and make arrangements for the student to return home. The student’s reentry to School must be arranged through the Health Centre, with full clearance from the student’s Medical Practitioner. The School Nurse is on Duty at the Health Centre, Monday to Friday from 8.30am until 4.00pm. If a Boarding student is unwell and not fit to attend class, they will be admitted to the Health Centre for the day
to rest in bed. Referral to the local Medical Centre will be arranged if necessary. After hours, the Boarding Staff care for Boarders staying in the Health Centre. Bowral Hospital is used for emergencies.
be provided to the School Nurse and House Matron and kept in the Health Centre.
Boarders who require emergency attention outside these hours will be transported to Bowral Hospital (Emergency Ward). If any boarder is diagnosed with gastro, parents will be required to pick up their child it two or more boarders are ill.
Parents or guardians must supply Medicare numbers or private health fund details to the Health Centre. These are noted on student files for reference when medical attention is required.
Medication Unless specifically authorised to do so by the School Nurse, Boarders are not permitted to keep medication of any type in their personal possession, either at School or in the Boarding House (this includes common non-prescription medications such as painkillers, cold and flu tablets, cough mixture and antihistamines). All medication (including vitamins and herbal remedies) must be provided in a ‘Webster Pac’ clearly labelled with ingredients and dosage in English and handed to the Boarding Staff or School Nurse on arrival at School (or as appropriate during the year).
Medicare/Private Health Insurance
Prior to organising an Overseas Student VISA, Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) is required to be taken out for the length of the VISA. The King’s School can organise the OSHC on behalf of the student/parents with BUPA. However parents are welcome to organise their own cover and send a copy the OSHC Certificate to the School.
Wellbeing Tudor House’s holistic approach to Wellbeing is taught both in and outside of the classroom. Our Boarders continue to develop skills and behaviours that allow them to flourish in Medley House. On a day-today basis we practise gratitude, Wellbeing Groups mindfulness, hope and spirituality.
The Boarding Staff has access to some basic medications and first aid requirements. In the instance of students taking antidepressants and S8 drugs, this is documented accordingly and a letter from the prescribing doctor stating the dosage of medication must

enjoy a ready supply of fresh fruit. Grace is spoken before and after each meal.
Morning, Afternoon Tea and Snacks
All boarders are allocated a wellbeing pastoral care group.
Meals At Tudor House, our in-house Catering team ensure our students are provided with home-made, nourishing and healthy food that appeals to everyone. Tudor House has recently started a ‘Paddock to Plate’ programme where the Boarders help raise chickens and cattle, and grow fruit and vegetables used by the Catering Staff. A hot breakfast, lunch and dinner are served in the School’s Dining Room. It is compulsory for all students to attend each meal. The Catering staff will respond to special dietary needs as reported to the School by a Boarder’s parent or doctor (as per the completed Dietary Form). Boarders
Students of different ages sit at each table which encourages and promotes conversation. Boarders are expected to observe the conventions of dining etiquette when eating in the dining room.
Dining Room Meal Times Breakfast 7.45am – 8.00am (Monday – Saturday) 8.30am – 9.30am (Sunday) Lunch 1.00pm – 1.30pm Dinner 6.00pm – 6.45pm 15
A plentiful supply of fresh fruit is available at every meal, and also as a healthy snack between meals. Morning and afternoon tea consists of other healthy and homemade snacks.
Uniform at Meals Boarders are expected to take pride in their appearance, to be neatly dressed and wellgroomed for meals. All clothes must be clean and in good condition before entering the Dining Room. Hair must be combed and hands and face washed.
16
Communication Contacting Staff Staff can be contacted in person, via email or telephone. All contact details for Boarding Staff can be found on the Contacts page of The Boarders’ Handbook. Day Staff can be contacted via the Tudor House Office (02 4868 0000).
Contacting Boarders The Boarders can be contacted via the Boarders’ landline numbers (see the Contact page of this Handbook), Skype or traditional mail. Each Monday evening after dinner, the Boarders write a letter home to their parents. Please write back
when you receive a letter from your child. The Boarders enjoy receiving traditional, handwritten letters just as much as sending them. There are five dedicated landline phones on which parents and families can call Boarders between 6.45pm and 8.00pm, Tuesday – Sunday. Phones are not connected Monday night because Boarders are writing letters home during this time. Please be mindful not to spend more than ten minutes on the phone when calling your child. This will ensure all Boarders and their parents will be able to get through. A useful rule of thumb when
considering how often to call your child is once or twice a week. This ensures there is plenty of positive things to talk about when a call is made which helps foster a healthy sense of independence.

Academic Matters When Boarders first arrive at Tudor House, they may find some differences in their class work. This is not uncommon because schools have varying standards and approaches and Boarders might have covered work in a different sequence than at Tudor House. New Boarders need to allow themselves time to catch up – it could take up to two terms – but be assured, they will catch up if they work steadily over time.
We recommend Boarders keep social activities to a minimum during the week. If they arrange to go out on a weekday, we advise that they complete their homework straight after School or at a time that fits in with their outing. Boarding Staff will monitor the frequency of weekday outings and will discuss this with you if they feel your child is falling behind with their work or not settling into a steady Prep routine.
New Boarders can find the standard here higher than they have experienced before. Teachers are understanding of this and will provide additional assistance. Your child should never hesitate to ask for help, whether during Prep or during the day. Staff will help find the person who can best assist with any query.
Prep (Homework) Prep is a designated time in the late afternoon to provide the students with a quiet work environment. All students are expected to be present for Prep and to work independently, completing set work and using the remainder of the time for
17
reading, preparation and revision. It is an important part of their daily routine and contributes toward our Boarders’ excellent academic results. We are proud of our well-supervised and productive homework routine. Prep time is Monday to Thursday from 5.00pm–6.00pm. Qualified teachers are available to assist each student with homework, revision programmes and in specific subjects such as English, Mathematics and Science. At other times and on weekends, students are encouraged to organise their own study time as workload and needs demand.
18
Some Housekeeping Each term blazers need to be taken home and dry cleaned.
Linen
Name tags
The School provides mattress protectors, fitted sheets, top sheets and two towels per week for each student. Students bring their own doonas, doona covers, pillows and pillow cases.
All clothing must be named with sewn-in name tags. Please send sewn-in name tags to Whytes Clothing (and new items of uniform). All name tags must have the child’s name followed by TH.
Dormitory Allocation
Boarders are allocated different rooms each term. The Head of Boarding is responsible for room allocations.
Dormitories Boarders sleep in dormitories and have shared bathrooms and toilet facilities. Our Boarders love to display pictures of family, friends, pets and home, so we encourage your child to take lots of photos before coming to Tudor House. Bright doona covers from home, also brighten up their space.
Learning how to live amicably with others is one of the great benefits of communal living – a real skill for life. Rooming and interacting with students from different backgrounds with diverse interests are part of what makes the boarding experience unique as well as encouraging the development of empathy, respect, tolerance, resilience and interpersonal skills.
Electronics Computers
Electrical Equipment
Media and Games
Boarders have excellent access to Apple MacBooks and Desktop computers during class time and, if required, during evening Prep. Medley House is a “device free” environment. IPads, smart phones, smart watches including Fit Bits, Kindles and gaming consoles are not permitted in the Boarding House. This allows the Boarders to fall asleep easily each night and sleep soundly.
For safety reasons, no electrical equipment other than that supplied by Tudor House is permitted in the dormitories.
Boarders are not permitted to access any form of social media whilst at Tudor House. Jigsaw puzzles, board games, Lego and decks of cards are very popular with the Boarders. The Common Room television can be turned on between 7.30pm and 8.00pm.
Tagging of Electrical Equipment All electrical equipment in Medley House has been tagged by authorised persons and is checked routinely.

Boarders’ Leave Rules and Responsibilities Tudor House maintains a flexible approach to leave, provided it is arranged around academic, sporting and co-curricular commitments. Leave must be arranged in advance, via the software application Boardingware. The safety and welfare of all Boarders is of paramount importance and this will always be the main consideration with regard to leave approval being granted. No Boarder may leave Tudor House without permission. Boarders are not permitted to leave the School unless accompanied by a responsible adult. It is the responsibility of parents or guardians to ensure that suitable arrangements are made for their children during vacation and exit periods. The first weekend of each school year is the only Closed Weekend for Tudor House boarders. No leave is granted during this time so all boarders can get to know each other and settle into the Tudor House boarding routine.
Boarders’ Travel Arrangements Leave is granted specifically for the period requested and to the person/s and location/s nominated. The nominated host (see Boarders Leave Form) for that period then becomes responsible for all activities until the Boarder physically returns to Tudor House. Boarders must sign out with the Boarding Staff on duty before leaving Tudor House. If there are any changes to leave arrangements as stated in the application, the host must notify the Head of Boarding. Please telephone the Boarding Staff on duty if your return is likely to be delayed for any reason. Whilst on leave, Boarders are reminded that they must behave in a manner which brings credit to themselves and the Tudor House Community.
Boarders’ Travel Passes NSW TrainLink provide long distance travel to and from homes of Boarding
students who live in rural areas. Boarders must apply for a free travel pass using the application forms available to download: https://apps.transport.nsw.gov. au/ssts/assests/documents/ subsidisedTravelSstsPaper.pdf https://apps.transport.nsw.gov. au/ssts/assets/documents/ applicationForFreeRailBordersPass.pdf Both these forms must be handed into our School Office for authorisation.
Visitors Students may receive visitors, however, all visitors must be introduced to the Boarding Staff on duty on arrival. Visitors may only be entertained in designated areas — please check with Duty staff.
Social and Extracurricular Activities Throughout the Term, there are weekend activities planned for Boarders who are not on Weekend Leave. Typically, these activities are on a Sunday. If Boarders are on leave for the weekend, they are not to return to the Boarding House until 5pm Sunday. This is because Boarding Staff on duty will be off-site running the weekend’s activity. Activities may include bushwalking in the Blue Mountains, fishing or surfing on the South Coast, horse riding in Kangaroo Valley, go-karting or visiting Sydney or Canberra to watch a major sporting event. Sometimes, activities are based on the grounds at Tudor House. These activities may include orienteering, “Tough Mudder” style competitions, archery, canoeing, bush craft and survival skills training.

23

Housekeeping
Medley House is a device-free Boarding House. Boarders are not permitted to have mobile phones at School.
Boarders are required to take home all possessions at the end of each term.
Boarders are required to complete scheduled duties throughout the term.

Tailor a Boarding Package to Suit You Full-time Boarding
Flexible Boarding
Full-time Boarders live in Medley House for the duration of the School Term and enjoy participating in co-curricular activities before and after School and on weekends. All meals are provided and supervised Prep (homework) occurs at School. Weekend leave is permitted by arrangement with the Head of Boarding, for example, to attend birthday parties, sporting competitions or to visit friends and family.
Boarders can reside in Medley House from Sunday night (or Monday morning) to Friday afternoon. This combines the best of both worlds – that of a supportive boarding experience and quality time with family and friends on the weekend. This means that the majority of study and School activities take place at supervised sessions throughout the week, leaving the student free to spend time with their families over the weekend. Flexible Boarding is ideal for parents who manage long work hours and may find dealing with the logistics of
school commitments challenging for both themselves and their children. It is also ideal for families living a short distance from the School whose child will benefit from structure, consistency and routine of flexible boarding. Tudor House also offers Day Students the opportunity to stay in Medley House for short stays (minimum of two nights each stay) if parents are travelling away from home or if students wish to experience Boarding, especially during the busier times in the School calendar. This boarding option is based on availability for the dates requested.

Please Label all Items of Clothing All clothes, boots and shoes must be marked with the child’s name in full. Cash’s name tapes are recommended.

Parents should order from website: www.nametapes.com.au or phone: 1800 020 204 Whytes Clothing can sew on name labels, do alterations if required, and will sew on Colours.
