BGS Boarding equips boys with the resources, structure and support they need to make the most of their educational experience.

The Academic Enrichment program ensures boys actively plan their tasks and supervise evening study in The Lilley Centre.

Academic Tutors provide additional advice and guidance and prepare boys for assessment and examinations. BGS teaching staff also support boarding students, running 40-minute specialist sessions.

Boys living away from home achieve their potential when they feel connected to their school and boarding community. Our Academic and Wellbeing Enrichment programs foster this sense of connection and belonging.

The Wellbeing Enrichment program takes a holistic approach to each boy’s diet, exercise and sleep. A varied and balanced menu, access to the School’s pool and gym, and an emphasis on good routines help boys make healthy decisions.

Tailored after-school activities provide another avenue for connection. Younger boys play games such as handball and touch footy, while older boys learn vocational skills and work on their resume writing in preparation for university.
