Boarding at Somerville
WHERE SHE WILL FORM HER SISTERHOOD
Somerville House provides boarding in Brisbane City for girls from Year 6 to Year 12 and also offers an outstanding education in a safe and nurturing environment. Boarders have lived away from home to study at Somerville House for over 100 years.
Somerville House Boarding is renowned for its modern facilities and offers a lot more space than traditional boarding houses. There are numerous common spaces as well as a sunset balcony for seniors to enjoy panoramic city views.
Girls are encouraged to self-manage their lifestyle and academics before they transition to life after school. This approach positions them well for being grounded and independent.
A boarding experience instils resilience, confidence, self-discipline and engagement. It refines character and establishes lifelong skills and capabilities like routines, time management and organisation.
