Welcome to Leichhardt House Student Residence

Your child’s second home during the school week

Leichhardt House is a trusted student residence in Chinchilla offering weekday boarding for rural and regional high school students. We provide a safe, supportive, and friendly environment where students in Years 7–12 can focus on learning, build independence, and enjoy social and recreational activities during the week — while heading home to family on weekends. 

Now offering flexible casual stays

From Term 1, 2025, we’re also offering flexible casual stays, making it easier for students with early morning sport, part-time jobs, or family commitments to stay overnight when needed. 

Why families choose Leichhardt House

At Leichhardt House Student Residence, we understand what matters most to rural families: safety, support, and a strong sense of belonging. Here’s why so many families choose us as their weekday home away from home:  

 

  • Weekday accommodation close to both Chinchilla high schools 
  • Balanced focus on study, wellbeing, and life skills
  • Purpose-built facilities for learning, sport and recreation
  • A long-standing reputation for supporting rural families 
  • Eligible families can apply for Assistance for Isolated Children


Life at the Residence

More than a bed — it’s a place to belong.

At Leichhardt House, our goal is to make each student feel safe, supported, and at home. The residence is managed by experienced, live-in house parents who provide round-the-clock care and supervision. 

Students are encouraged to develop independence and responsibility in a respectful, structured environment.

From quiet study spaces to a basketball hoop out the back, students enjoy a weekday lifestyle that balances learning and down-time. 

  • Safe and structured routines
  • Separate boys’ and girls’ dorms 
  • Designated study room 
  • Outdoor space with basketball, trampoline & BBQ area

Partner schools in Chinchilla

We work closely with both of Chinchilla’s excellent high schools, ensuring students have a smooth and supported educational experience while living at Leichhardt House during the week.

Chinchilla State High School

strong support programs, and extensive extra-curricular opportunities. Students can pursue both academic and vocational pathways.

Minibus transport for student convenience

We know how busy the school week can be, so our onsite minibus helps make things easier. 

We transport students to before and after-school activities, including sport, music and tutoring — and provide shuttle support to and from both Chinchilla State High School and Chinchilla Christian College when needed (like in wet weather). It’s just one more way we help our students — and their families — feel supported. Read more on daily routines and activities here
