Australia’s Newest Boarding School

24 October, 2018 By Canowindra Phoenix Editor

Dubbo is set to welcome Australia’s newest boarding school with Macquarie Anglican Grammar School, expanding to offer boarding from 2019. Providing the highest quality in boarding facilities and the outstanding learning that Macquarie Anglican is renowned for, the expansion is an exciting addition to education in Australia.

With a well-earned reputation as a leading school in the Central West, Macquarie Anglican’s Headmaster Craig Mansour is pleased to be able to offer new opportunities to the families of his community, “It’s fantastic to be able to welcome more of our Central West families to the Macquarie Anglican community. With our commitment to providing a curriculum of opportunity underpinned by faith, community, character and excellence, our new boarding facilities will continue to carry our values and enable our students and their families to achieve all that is possible.”

“These facilities provide the community of the Central West with further opportunities to close the “urban-rural” educational divide through the outstanding education at Macquarie,” added Mr Mansour. A Pre-Kinder to Year 12 school, Macquarie Anglican Grammar School has been a fundamental part of the Central West for over 15 years. The boarding facilities will open in January 2019, with placements for up to 40 children across Years 7-12.
