Welcome from the Director of Boarding - Mr. Nick Tait

When a family decides to send their son boarding they join an exclusive community within St Patrick's College.

With guidance and clear boundaries from the boarding school staff we foster an inclusive and safe environment. With support and tuition we encourage boys to reach their academic potential and strive for excellence.

Redwood House is more than a physical space. Lifelong friendships are born, a solid work ethic is nurtured, team work is fostered and leadership is promoted.

We want boarders of Redwood House to leave prepared for the challenges of the real world and to look back at their experience at school with fondness.

The role of parents and families remain central to a student’s development and we actively encourage families to visit and participate in the sporting, cultural and spiritual activities of our boarding students integral to the special character of St Patrick's College Silverstream.

Boarding in Redwood House allows flexibilty for families. Boys can stay in throughout the school week, for the entire week, or short term casual boarding. A variety of Boarding Scholarships are also available.

Try boarding

Our next Try Boarding Weekends will be held in 2012. Please check back here for specific dates. It is an opportunity for boys to familiarise themselves with Redwood House and to meet other prospective boarders. This is free of charge.To book a bed for your son see contacts below.
