Hearts boarding experience

Boarding is a lifelong gift given to the young women and young men by their parents and families.

The Boarders form close friendships and enjoy the many benefits of belonging to the “Hearts” family.

Boarding at Sacred Heart College succeeds because there is a strong partnership between boarders, their families, Boarding Staff and Teaching Staff of the College. Staff in the Boarding House appreciate the responsibility they have in supporting the young people in their care and it is undoubtedly a vocation as well as a career and one in which Boarding Staff are very passionate about and proud of. It is part of our ‘family spirit’ and we consider ourselves one family here in the Boarding Community at Sacred Heart College.

A day in the life of a Hearts boarder

Moving the Sacred Heart Boarding House is one of the best decisions I've made. The opportunities that are provided are unimaginable, and the friendships that are growing are unbreakable. The Sacred Heart community is an amazing place to spend the last few years of our schooling.

Being a boarder is great. It's like having a family away from home and you always have the best time with the people here whilst having such a supportive community.

Oscar Edmonds-Wilson, Year 11 Boarder, Port Lincoln
The boarding experience is one I will never forget. The boarding house is a close-knit community built on mutual respect, trust, and support. Where lasting friendships are formed and everyone looks out for one another in all aspects of school and boarding.
