Our set wake-up and wind-down times help students maintain a consistent sleep schedule and start each day prepared.
Study sessions. Dedicated study times give students the space and support to stay on top of their schoolwork.
Personal time & activities. Students can take part in sport, music, dance, and other extra-curricular activities, or a part-time job if suited.
See schedule in our Boarding Handbook (appendix 2 on page 24.)
Extra-Curricular
Student interests are encouraged. Many of our students take part in sports training, music, dance, and other creative pursuits. We actively support boarders who want to explore their interests.
Flexible scheduling. Our routine allows students the time and transport to attend local training rehearsals, competitions, or community activities.
We believe education goes beyond the classroom — and that participation in activities helps students develop life skills, friendships, and independence.
Transport
Our residence mini-bus is available to take students to and from both Chinchilla State High School and Chinchilla Christian College when needed.
We also use the mini-bus to transport students to early morning or after-hours commitments like sport training, music, part-time jobs, or other activities.
While we encourage independence, we also make sure students have access to safe and practical transport options to support their busy routines.
Technology & Devices
Boarders are welcome to bring their mobile phones, tablets, laptops, and handheld gaming devices.
Healthy tech habits. To support focused study and good sleep routines, all devices are handed in during set study times and again at bedtime.
Balance is key. Our approach encourages connection and independence, while helping students develop healthy tech habits that support their learning and wellbeing.
Financial Assistance
You may be eligible for support through the Assistance for Isolated Children Scheme.
Stay Active and involved After School
Our mini bus ensures boarders can still get to the things they love. From early morning training and part-time jobs to afternoon rehearsals or sport—getting there is easy. We also provide transport to and from both Chinchilla State High School and Chinchilla Christian College when needed.
