I got no idea where that is. I am going boarding next year 
, so far i havent heard any negative comments regarding boadring from boarders at Scots, Shore and PLC. Many of them mention the fact that it's a good opptunity to allow you to prepare for your HSC.
You going as a weekly boader? And what year are you in?
Many people think "OMG u going to boadring school, you going to become gay" etc... but i dont think that happened well except for trinity grammar...
I just had a look on their website, it seem to be a very religious school and academic achievements is no where to be found (Maybe i missed it).

Don't go to boarding. It's a waste of time and the fees are through the roof. You could better off using the money on going to a private school unless your on a scholarship. I went to a boarding school for a yr and the food is terrible, you have to go to bed early, they force you to study for a set of hrs, you can't watch tv for more than half an hr, you can't go into your dorm in the afternoon and forced to stay outside and you certainly want to go home everyday. Well that was my school, but it might turn out different for yours.xadrienne said:

The only good reasons for going to a boarding school is if your interested in cattle stuff, you live in an area where there is no good school to attend or your on a scholarship.

wow someone doing there HSC in 2010, thats a long time from now, anyways i always thought it would have been good to go to boarding school. Its just dreafully expensive but i reckon it would be worth it, think of the close friends u could make
well I might be going there as a full boarder and my mum wants me to go to boarding school in year 11-12 cause she thinks i need to focus more on my exams in those years o.o
YES ITS A FRICKIN RELIGIOUS SCHOOL, well cause we're catholic .. my mum says it's not only about the education .. but about morality :mad1: [i dont understand that bit either lol] but anyways .. well if there are other catholic boarding schools that you may know off [which are good] feel free to tell me xD
psst .. im doing full boarding cause im currently living in hong kong [cause of parents jobs]and we're probably moving back to sydney in two years but my mum thinks i should be in boarding school by then ..
all i know is that for their HSC results this year they were 137 in the state .. [which kinda seems like crap, but at least its better than other schools]

I haven't been to boarding before, but I have a friend who does. It's hell! You sleep early, and wake up even earlier! And you live a "set" timetable EVERYDAY!!! Perhaps it might not be like that at your school, cuz he's in New Zealand but I guess it'll still be somewhat similar.
You guys must have had terrible boarding schools... I'm a boarder and it's absolutely awesome! The friends you make are stronger than any other friendships, and sure you go through ups and downs but it's all part of life.
Food at my school is not too bad, but a lot of us buy our own food on shopping leaves for when it's really bad. The rules are fairly restrictive but we can still go to parties, go shopping, movies etc as long as they know every detail of what we're doing.
I much prefer boarding than day school, a lot more fun and you can grow so much and live semi independantly.

boarding. *waves flag unenthusiastically* yay.
I go to a boarding school. Have done so since year 7. It's a private Catholic girls school. hehe.
Um. Yeah. There are set study times, set meal times and set bedtimes. Study at my school, for the younger girls, is at least two hours a night, in a classroom. It gets longer as you get older. Um. Some TV programs are killed, commo (room with TV and sink and toaster and stuff) is locked during study, dinner and night.
The food is terrible most of the time, and fire alarms go off periodically for drills. At night. In the rain.
Weekend activities on a sunday are compulsory for younger girls. Free weekends are limited. Mass in compulsory. gah.
In essence, the place sucks.
But it is better, id say, than staying at home where i would have been, and it is good for independence. And learning how to fool both people and computers. *glares at firewalls*
Lots of freedoms are restricted though.
