Residential Care

CAC Bindoon's residential care is friendly, comfortable and affordable. The four residential houses for our boarders are:

Girls

Catherine House for girls

Boys

Edmund House
Joseph House
Benedict House

Each house is supervised by a Head Residential Care person who oversees the overall day to day running of the house and any communication regarding residential matters such as students' welfare including students' leave and sick applications.

Students may bring their personal items however, very expensive items or objects of great personal value are better left at home. Personal belongings, including clothing, are not covered by College insurance and it is parents' responsibility to insure such items. All students' belonging must be clearly labelled or marked including new casual clothing.

It is also suggested that parents allocate a minimum of $100 per term ($10/week) for pocket money. As students are not permitted to have more than $15 cash in their possession, a pocket money account is established for each student and administered by the Head of Residential Care. Pocket money is used for tuckshop purchases (pens, paper, files, drinks, lollies, personal items) and weekend outings such as the cinema, socials etc.

Boarder's Weekend

Midway each term there is a long weekend (Boarders' Weekend) when all students must leave the campus. This provides an opportunity for staff professional development and well as giving our students a break. Students who are unable to go home for these few days usually stay with relatives or friends.

End-of-term travel is booked by our residential care staff and organised at least a month prior to travel. We provide transport from CAC Bindoon to the Perth airports, Midland railway station and the East Perth Terminal to assist parents with travel arrangements.
Several weekends each year are spent at Tuppin House, our large seaside camp-style house at Guilderton (Moore River). Parents are welcome to visit CAC Bindoon any time and residential students may arrange weekend leave through the Head of Residential Care provided they have not been gated for misdemeanours.
