Study Life
Our boarders receive tailored support from our dedicated academic staff during regular structured study time after school, helping them reach their full potential. Educational Support & Enrichment programs for students who require additional academic support or increased intellectual challenge beyond classroom extension are offered to all students.
We ensure our Senior students have the study resources they need whenever they need them – Senior rooms feature comfortable individual study spaces and students have easy access to school facilities outside regular hours.
Student Reflection
“Nightly study sessions help me stay focused on my schoolwork, and there is always a teacher there to help me.”
“It is great to have access to different study areas when I need these such as the library, music and art rooms.”
Active Life
Weekly sports, diverse co-curricular opportunities, local community events and a variety of fun on and off-campus adventures, keep our boarders active and engaged.
Our boarders enjoy activities from picnics and swimming to beach trips, walks, cinema outings, shopping excursions, laser tag, ten-pin bowling, indoor rock climbing, go-karting, paintball and bike riding – just to name a few!
Weekends are packed with adventures to Lake Jindabyne, Kosciuszko National Park, Canberra and the South Coast, with exciting snow-based weekend activities to local ski resorts in Term 3.
With a wide range of activities, our boarders can connect with their peers, their community and most importantly, within.
Student Reflection
“The boarding activities always bring everyone closer – they are so much fun.”
Dining Life
Our dining room is the hub of our community – it’s where our boarders come together as one big family. Our menus offer fresh, nutritious and tasty options which rotate regularly, are approved by a qualified nutritionist and cater to the very active lifestyles of our Boarding students. We are committed to meeting special dietary needs, creating a healthy and inclusive environment for everyone.
Student Reflection
“There is a variety of delicious foods from other cultures and countries.”
Wellbeing
Student wellbeing is our priority. From the moment a new boarder arrives, our experienced and caring team is there to ensure that their social, emotional, spiritual, academic and physical needs are met. Our school counsellor, heads of school and house tutors are also part of our strong wellbeing network.
Snowy Mountain Grammar School’s 4 Peaks Wellbeing Program guides our approach. It emphasises positive relationships, self-awareness and values-driven action.
We have effective processes for monitoring student wellbeing and safety and ensure open communication between our boarding team, students and parents so that every student can be well and do well.
Student Reflection
“Having staff to talk to about any challenges makes a world of difference to our wellbeing”
