RESIDENTIAL LIFE
First class boutique residential
facilities for both boys and
girls are provided at separate
Campuses a short distance
from the Day school. Places
at the Residentials are always
in demand as only 90 girls
and 60 boys are offered
places each year.
Boarding accommodation for
Year 10, 11 and 12 girls is
provided in Coolock House,
with senior students enjoying
single rooms. Year 10 girls
share double accommodation
in a spacious dormitory
overlooking the city. Girls in
Year 8 and 9 enjoy shared
rooms in the historic and
beautiful Genazzano building
which has recently undergone
a $2 million refurbishment in
2009. Both located on the
picturesque Athelstane Range
former site of The Range
College.
The Boys’ Residential is only
a few minutes drive from the
Day Campus. The boys are
accommodated in a variety
of room configurations from
single to twin share.
While residential life can
never replace the family
home, every effort is made
at The Cathedral College
Residentials to create a warm,
supportive and comfortable
environment where personal
growth and the forging of
lifelong friendships go hand in
hand with a disciplined study
program.
At both Residential
campuses, community
spirit is a big part of life. In
addition to the extra-curricular
activities offered by the Day
Campus, Residential students
may participate in the many
sporting and cultural activities
that Rockhampton has to
offer. Weekend activities
offered at the combined
Residential campuses include
beach trips, shopping, sport
and craft activities.
We understand that
adolescents need change
as they grow, which is
why qualified, experienced
teachers, counsellors and
residential supervisors are
involved in their care. As well
as the many new friends
our students make, there is
always an adult they can talk
to about school or personal
concerns.
Scolarest catering company
is contracted to provide
nutritious meals to both
Residentials. They provide a
wide range of healthy, fresh
and prepared food, and
special dietary requirements
can be catered for.
A number of the College
academic staff offer tutorial
sessions after hours, or
transport to private tuition can
be arranged.
The Cathedral College offers
a high quality boarding
experience and is one of the
most affordable boarding
schools in Queensland.
