    • A Day in the Life

    The day-to-day life of a Rostrevor College boarding student is rich with activities, programs, excursions and leave time which are designed to enhance each student’s educational and personal growth. Schedules are structured with a focus on balancing recreation, academic pursuits, co-curricular commitments and social time.  

    Duggan House initiatives such as house competitions, personal electronic device policies, organised social activities with students from Loreto College and daily Study Hub time with tutors ensure that every student is supported in all areas of his development during his formative teenage years.  

    While each student’s schedule will differ day-to-day, a typical school day may include:

    Weekends & Leave

    On weekends and during free time, our boarding students can apply for leave to explore the local area, attend events and sporting matches, visit with family and friends and stay overnight with approved hosts amongst other activities. A boarder’s personal time is designed to reflect what he may experience at home, while having access to all the Adelaide region has to offer.  

    All practices, initiatives and facilities at our Boarding House are carefully designed to create a welcoming and safe environment where students can feel a strong sense of home and belonging.
