Catholic values: Assumption College is working to foster 'family spirit'.

The Assumption College boarding community was founded to provide Catholic families living in remote and regional areas with a high-quality schooling and boarding experience for their children.

Over the years, this has remained the college’s commitment, and today the boarding houses serve the families of our region and beyond, with students following their parents and grandparents into the boarding houses.

Students of the boarding community, in their comfortable ‘family-style’ centres, are thriving. There is a palpable sense of young people growing and flourishing in surroundings that challenge and excite them.

Assumption College boarding staff live on site with the students and work to provide a ‘family spirit’ so that both the students and their parents feel welcomed and valued.

This value extends to the connection between boarding and local day students.

Students are connected through multi-age home groups, known as learning mentor groups, and through the innovative MyMAP curriculum that focuses on ‘stage, not age’ learning, offering a vast range of subjects and pathways.

Subjects such as agriculture and high-performance sport are yet another way boarding and day students find connection, along with an extensive co-curricular program and activities.

“There is no other boarding community quite like Assumption College,” principal Kate Fogarty said.

“Our students and their families value the beautiful and spacious facilities, as well as the warm and kind relationships that their children form with each other and the staff.”
