Full Boarding

Full Boarding is available from Years 5-8 in the Middle School, Years 10-12 in the Senior School and is compulsory for Year 9 at Timbertop.

Full Boarders make up approximately half of the total school population. At Corio there are four boys' and three girls' Boarding Houses within Senior School, and two boys' and one girls' Boarding Houses within Middle School, each of which is like a 'mini-school within a school.'

The School encourages a comfortable atmosphere in which students and staff live and work together seven days a week in an extended family relationship. All Boarding Houses are staffed by a resident Head of House (and his or her family), a Deputy Head of House, three tutors (who are also teachers at the school), and a full-time matron.

Full Boarding includes:

• weekend leave by arrangement and parents welcome to visit
• sport or activity each afternoon and Saturday sport for Years 7-12

Year 12 students have their own study-bed rooms, Year 11 students generally share smaller rooms, and younger students are in dorm-style accommodation. All Houses have common rooms, computer work areas, tennis courts and other games and recreational facilities.
