The NSW Boarding Schools’ Expo is designed to be an essential and convenient service to families who live outside of Sydney and who are interested in boarding school as an option for their child’s secondary education. This includes families who live in rural or regional areas as well as towns and cities outside of Sydney.

The leading schools from Sydney and regional NSW will travel to a centre near you and be available to talk through your family’s educational needs. These schools will showcase the exceptional opportunities they offer, with boarding available on a full time or weekly basis.

The NSW Boarding Schools’ Expo endeavors to take the time, travel and hassle out of investigating all the choices available to you by making these schools accessible to you under the one roof and the Expo allows you to explore your options closer to home.

Choosing the right school which best suits your child is one of the most important decisions you as a parent will make. Even more so when it involves boarding.

It is vital you choose a school who shares your core values and beliefs. You want your children to be living, learning; creating, playing and growing up in a nurturing environment where they belong to a dynamic community.

This is a community where teachers and staff believe in the goodness and

integrity of your child, in their happiness and strength, their confidence and optimism, and work closely with them to develop their hopes and ambitions.

A parent wants to know their child has access to the highest standard of education and be given every opportunity and encouragement to realise their full potential in whatever area their gifts and talents may be in whether it be sport, creative, or academic.

The schools exhibiting at the NSW Boarding Schools’ Expo are all exceptional schools. Their past and present students are their best advertisement.

Boarding life at these schools is characterised by the formation of enduring friendships. Boarders share a sense of spirit and belonging. They are challenged to appreciate the strength and individuality of others, and they begin to establish their own personal goals and visions for the future.

Researching and talking with school representatives about each school’s values and beliefs is part of the crucial decision making process.

Ask about the wide range of scholarships and bursaries on offer. If you live relatively close to Sydney investigate the weekly boarding options.



Admission to the Expo is free.
