Boarding at Redwood House
Redwood House is more than a boarding facility – it’s a close-knit community where lifelong friendships are formed, work ethic is nurtured, and leadership and teamwork are encouraged. Academic achievement is prioritised through structured evening study led by teachers. Living on campus places boarders at the heart of college life, with access to a wide range of extracurricular and leadership opportunities.

Redwood House has a proud legacy of academic success, top-level sports achievement, strong student leadership, and active extracurricular involvement, ensuring a well-rounded educational experience supported by excellent pastoral care. Boarders enjoy expansive park-like grounds with 12 sports fields, music spaces, a pool, basketball courts, stadium, student gym and a weights room, and common areas. Public transport is easily accessible with a train station across the road and nearby bus stops.

As a Marist Catholic secondary school, we are guided by the values of faith, unity, courage, support, and humility guiding students to develop into young men of character, compassion, and purpose.
