Introduction to Boarding Seymour College Boarding House, located in a picturesque setting on the Middle and Senior School Campus, provides boarders with a secure and caring environment. The Boarding House is able to accommodate up to 105 boarders, with girls coming from throughout South Australia's country regions, from interstate and overseas. The atmosphere in the Boarding House is warm and friendly. Boarders, accepted as a general rule from Year 7 onwards, are welcomed from the start. Carefully selected staff ease the transition into Boarding House life. Year 12 students are given single rooms centred in one section of the Boarding House. Students in other year levels share bedrooms, generally on a twin-share basis. Boarders have access to the school's many facilities, including the swimming pool, playing fields, tennis courts, computing centre, library and sporting complex. Meals are wholesome and boarders enjoy barbecues in the gardens at weekends. Life for the boarders is a blend of work and leisure. Quiet periods are set aside for homework and study. At weekends girls may spend time with friends or relatives. The accent is on a relaxing but disciplined environment. Boarders attend socials, take part in outings and may visit their school friends at weekends. They have access to STD telephones and several common rooms. Health is a prime consideration. Medical sisters are on hand and the school doctor visits twice a week. The sick bay can accommodate up to six girls. Visiting hours for parents are flexible-gone is the day when parents had to make appointments to see their daughters! RETURN TO TOP OF PAGE
