MY FAMILY JUST GOT BIGGER
In 1880, Saint Ignatius’ College Riverview was founded as a Boarding School for Years 6-12 under the care of the Society of Jesus. Students who arrive for boarding at the College overwhelmingly tell the story of becoming part of a large family.

Meet our Director of Boarding
Mr Anthony Begg
As the Director of Boarding, it is a privilege for me to witness the boys grow and mature in the boarding house into “men for others”. The journey is one that I have seen many times but never tire of: a young, homesick new boarder arrives and is greeted by their senior buddy, who helps them organise their room and shows them how to tie their tie. They soon find themselves surrounded by mates and supportive boarding staff, developing lifelong friendships.
MY WORLD JUST GOT BIGGER
Located on a 100 acre campus along Lane Cove River, students are offered the chance
to expand their thinking and are provided with incredible opportunities to grow.
Comprised of a special mix of students from around the globe and across the country,
our boarding community is unlike any other. Boarding at Riverview means developing a
second family amongst supporting staff and a group of peers.

The Sunday Boarding activities are always one of the highlights of my week; having a laugh with my mates at the beach, fishing, hiking, or even treetop adventures. They’re also a great chance to make new some friends in other year groups and to explore Sydney!
