Boarders’ Weekends & Host Families

Approximately every three week, the Residence closes down for the weekend on Friday at 3:45pm. This is known as a “Boarders’ Weekend”. EU & Overseas boarders for whom Rockwell College is their Agent are accommodated during these Weekends in Host Families. Host Families are checked and vetted by Rockwell College. The Families are based locally.

Boarders who have an Agent other than Rockwell College are the responsibility of that Agent during Boarders’ Weekends.
