Who's eligible?

To be eligible to stay in a house, students must have a strong desire to study.

You should also be:

• Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander under 18 years of age
• from a remote area
• in year 11 or 12 (or sometimes in years 8 to 10)
• have attended school regularly and consistently in the recent past
• able to live with other people and students from different parts of Western Australia
• be able to meet the house rules.

How are students chosen for the houses?

As there are only 36 beds available, there is a limit to the number of students we can accommodate.

Students are selected if they can show they:

• want to learn and will try hard at their studies
• are responsible and can live away from home
• will go to school every day unless they are sick
• have not been in trouble with the police or school
• are able to pay the cost of accommodation (through ABSTUDY or by another arrangement).
