Boarding at Tudor House
Tudor House is one of a few schools in the country that offers co-educational boarding for students in Years 3 to 6.
Medley House, the boarders’ home away from home, is situated in the heart of the campus and boarders are given a nurturing, family environment where they live, learn and grow.

Adventure Starts Here
When the bell rings at the end of each school day, boarders head out to catch yabbies in the creek, play sports or build bike tracks.
The School’s campus is the ultimate playground for young minds and bodies. It is a place where adventure is had, resilience and confidence is built, and life-long friendships are forged.
A Home Away From Home
The advantage of primary boarding is it provides children with the opportunity to earn their boarding wings before transitioning to high school.
All members of Medley House contribute to building a strong sense of community, and the children are nurtured to be independent, responsible and confident. Learning to live in a boarding community and caring for one another is an integral part of life at Tudor House. Boarders make contact with their loved ones throughout the week, including writing weekly letters to their families.
More Green, Less Screen
The boarding house has a no-screens policy, which encourages outdoor and creative play, and nurtures a positive, social environment. Boys and girls are encouraged to participate actively in the academic, social, spiritual, cultural and recreational aspects of the boarding community.
Weekend Adventures
On Monday mornings, Tudor House boarders love to share stories with classmates about their weekend adventures.
For boarders who are not on weekend leave, there is often a boarder excursion planned for Sunday. This could be anything from bushwalking in the Blue Mountains, fishing or surfing on the South Coast, horse-riding in Kangaroo Valley or trips to Sydney.
If boarders are staying on campus for the weekend, Sunday activities operate on the grounds at Tudor House. These activities may include orienteering, “Tough Mudder” style competitions, archery, canoeing, bushcraft and simply hanging out with mates.
Residential Staff
The boarding staff work hard to ensure the boarding environment at Tudor House is as home-like as possible. The staff are an integral part of the boarding community and are chosen because they are people of good character, who have a sense of integrity and responsibility, and who are capable of connecting with students and meeting their needs.
