Testimonials
“Reflecting back on my time at Macquarie Boarding I am proud to have been a part of the inaugural boarding community. The staff were extremely supportive and welcoming which made the initial settling in process so much easier. Overall, living at Boarding allowed me more time to focus on my studies and opened up many opportunities for extracurricular activities. Having fellow students and teachers close by provided me with the support and encouragement I needed to get through my senior years.”

The support from teachers and peers helped me push through obstacles. I’m truly grateful for the experiences that have prepared me for the future."
2025 School Captain
"As a student since Year 7 and a member of Macquarie Boarding since Year 10, I have felt incredibly supported in my academic journey and co-curricular pursuits. With a strong sense of community, dedicated teachers, and a commitment to academic and personal growth, I was given every opportunity to succeed. The school's emphasis on its 4 pillars: character, community, excellence and faith has helped me grow as an individual and has certainly left me well-prepared for whatever the future holds."
2025 School Captain
"Macquarie played a vital role in my adolescence, shaping me through its incredible community support. The staff’s guidance helped me achieve my academic goals while pushing me beyond my expectations. Their dedication provided opportunities like the DaVinci Decathlon, debating, and public speaking, which built my leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills. These experiences prepared me for life beyond school and ultimately helped me reach my goal of studying Physiotherapy at UON."
