A South West Boarding School, Closer to Home
Boarding at Bunbury Cathedral Grammar isn’t just about where students stay – it’s about how they live. We’ve created an environment where independence, structure, and a real sense of home come together.
Our campus is set on 33 hectares of stunning natural bushland, giving boarders space to breathe, think, and grow. At night, the only sounds you hear are the possums rustling in the trees and the distant hum of the ocean – far from the city noise.
Our small, family-style boarding houses foster strong connections. Older students mentor younger ones, creating a genuine support network. And most importantly, we’re close enough for families across the South West, Wheatbelt, and Great Southern regions to stay connected – so students get the best of both worlds.
