Facilities

Dining

The Catering Staff at The Cathedral School provide Boarding Students with nutritious and satisfying home cooked meals, three times a day.

A qualified chef ensures that the menu contains a variety of meals, which meet the ethnic and health needs of all students.

The menu is available on request.

Laundry

Laundry is done on the School premises. Washing is taken to the Laundry daily, Monday to Friday and is washed and dried. The clothing is folded, sorted and put into the individual pigeonholes in the Laundry.

Washing machines are also available in the dormitories for limited use.

The Student Health Centre

Staff at The Student Health Centre are NEVER bored. Each day is different and we see approximately 40-60 children per day with an “alphabet” of health concerns, from “abdominal complaints” to fractured “zygomas”.

We care for children and adolescents with bumps, bruises, broken bones, and sometimes broken hearts. Whilst our primary charges here at the School are the boarding population of approximately 140 students, we also care for day students and manage any medical emergencies.

The staff of The Student Health Centre are all committed to the implementation of “health promotion and education” for all our children. The Centre boasts a staff of three highly skilled and experienced Registered Nurses who most effectively meet the health care needs of the growing school community. Whilst each one of us brings valuable, varied experiences, all three of us also have the important qualification of being parents of young children ourselves.

The staff also works very closely with the medical team, in particular Doctors, at the Mundingburra Medical Centre.

Student Health Centre hours are 8.00am – 4.30pm Monday – Friday with a nurse rostered on-call after hours, for the boarding students.
