I would like to take this opportunity to formally welcome you to the Guildford Grammar School boarding community. We are embarking on a new and exciting era as our students reside in one of the most contemporary boarding facilities in the country.

This year we will have over 165 boarders from Year 7-12 residing in our Boarding Precinct. The Precinct is made up of three Houses – Sir Francis Burt Hall (Junior girls), Graham Malcolm Hall (Junior boys) and our main boarding hall (Year 9-12 boys and girls).

Our junior boarding houses are tailored to the needs of our younger boarders whilst the main hall is fully co-educational and tailored to our senior students.

All three houses are safe, relaxing and homely places for our community to learn and grow together.

Not only do we have advanced residential facilities, we are fortunate to have an amazing team of caring and supportive staff, parents and friends. It is without a doubt, the people of this community that make Guildford Grammar School boarding such a positive and collegial environment. We consistently focus on maintaining a positive boarding culture, with a set of values, behaviours and clear expectations for all members of the boarding community. This culture is well-established and embedded and you can learn more in this handbook on how positive relationships are fostered.
