Comfortable Living at LAC House

Our spacious, comfortably appointed halls of residence are designed to feel like a true home away from home. To ensure students feel comfortable and among peers, each residence hall is divided into a Junior Side (Years 7–10) and a Senior Side (Years 11–13), to ensure age-appropriate routines and environments.

‍

Beyond their rooms, boarders enjoy fantastic shared spaces, including a welcoming fellowship room for worship, relaxing and socialising, fully equipped laundry facilities, ablution facilities, and a convenient student kitchenette - for preparing extra snacks.

‍

A Place to Call Your Own 

Every student is allocated their own heated, fully carpeted bedroom with a personal key, fostering independence and a sense of privacy. Standard double rooms are generously equipped with two of everything - comfortable bed, personal wardrobe, drawers, cubby shelving, and a dedicated study desk and chair. Room-sharing options are also available on request and in negotiation with the Head Dean.  

Students are encouraged to personalise their space with a piece of home - photos, posters, facourite bedding, personality pieces. As well as the functional living essentials to maintain a healthy and clean environment.

Wi-Fi and Technology: Is there filtered Wi-Fi available for study? Mentioning safe, monitored internet access for homework is a huge selling point.

‍

Personalization: Add a quick line encouraging students to bring a piece of home with them (e.g., "Students are welcome to personalize their spaces with photos, posters, and their favorite bedding to make it truly theirs").

‍

The Dining Experience: Since meals are a massive part of a boarder's day, include a brief teaser about the food (e.g., "Wholesome, delicious meals are provided daily in our central dining hall...").
