Boarding
As boarding forms an integral part of the Woodridge experience, in the College we have the following aims:
To provide a safe and comfortable environment in which individuals may flourish, be afforded adequate privacy to be free from intimidation and discrimination and where healthy diversity is encouraged. This leads to a healthy community, based on mutual respect and an inclusive sense of belonging.
To provide ample opportunities for physical, intellectual, moral, spiritual and social development and to promote the concept of balance.
To encourage initiative and the development of leadership skills, based always on an understanding of the responsibilities which accompany privilege and the need to serve. This is achieved by encouraging self-discipline, independence, the development of confidence and a real sense of self – worth.
To support and encourage open and honest communication between pupil and staff.
Finally, but most importantly, to encourage parents to be close partners in the holistic education of their children and to provide adequate opportunities which allow for this.
