Continuing to welcome girls from regional Australia since 1887.
Our plans
We are extending the Boarding precinct into 19 Darling Point Road. Whilst maintaining the buildings beautiful heritage features we are converting six strata units into a Boarding House for 30 students and two staff. Works include:
- Boarding House for a minimum of 30 boarders and two staff
- Shared bedrooms for Years 8 – 10
- Workstations for Year 10
- Single and double rooms for Year 11
- First-floor deck and extended and connected gardens for further outdoor integration
- Study/bedrooms for Year 12 on their own level; a stepping-stone to university-style living
The design works hard to provide the girls a true feeling of community, belonging and home.
The new Boarding House at Ascham is a rambling home ... The original 1930s brick apartment building is converted with the lightest touch, preserving all its internal decoration and beautiful staircase, so the girls have a sense of the past and connection with place.
