Narrogin Residential College provides a boarding component to Narrogin Senior High School.
We work hand in hand to provide an excellent “Boarding School” service for the region, traveling together, visiting our feeder schools and attending local field days.
At Narrogin Residential College, your child will board in a comfortable and safe community environment with ongoing academic support and pastoral care.
We understand the importance of a supportive and productive study environment. We have compulsory study time in the evening from Sunday to Thursday for all students. After-school tutoring is available at the school, as well as access to private tutors.
If your child has an interest in music, private music lessons can be organised for piano, guitar and vocals. The college has a piano for practice.
Our supervisors make it their mission to provide your child with a positive boarding experience. They develop meaningful connections with students while creating a safe and supportive environment.
We actively maintain an open and direct line of communication with you and your child’s teachers to ensure your child thrives in their academic and personal lives.
Narrogin Residential College provides 3 meals a day plus afternoon tea and supper. Our menu includes a variety of healthy home-style meals and provides for students with any dietary requirements. In addition to our 5-week menu rotation, our kitchen staff also organises several themed nights throughout the year. Our meal plans are in line with the Fresh School Nutrition Advisory Program, FreshSNAP1.
For an example of the types of meals we provide, refer to the Term 2 menu planner2.
We encourage students to be active and participate in group activities. Our boarders can attend the Narrogin Regional Leisure Centre, play cricket and football, practise taekwondo, or go to army cadets.
You can be assured your child will be looked after if they are unwell. We have 2 sick bays on site and access to doctors, and the Narrogin Regional Hospital is nearby.
Students at the college can take part in a wide range of recreation activities. We have pool tables, foosball, table tennis, archery facilities, giant Connect 4, Xbox, movie nights, arts and crafts, cooking sessions, talent night, lawn cricket, lawn waterslides and scavenger hunts.
We also organise excursions to Perth for shopping trips, visits to Bounce Trampoline Park or Perth Zoo, ice-skating, movies, bowling, and sports games. We also take students to field days and agriculture shows including the Wagin Woolorama.
Check out all the fun activities we had in term one on our Term 1 2025 activity planner3. Check back for the Term 2 activity planner.
Some students may feel homesick when they board away from home. This usually happens when they first arrive and are settling in. We encourage students to speak with supervisors about their feelings or phone home for a chat. Supervisors also try to help students make new friends and feel more at home.
If your child has something on their mind and they would like to speak to someone other than a supervisor, parent or carer, they can seek support from the:
- Kids Helpline4
- school psychologist
- school chaplain
- school nurse.
If you or your child has any concerns about the residential college, please speak with the college manager. If a student has any concerns they feel they cannot raise with the college manager, they can email residentialstudentcomplaints@education.wa.edu.au5.
