The resource that didn't exist for boarding house supervisors. Until now.
Most people start working in boarding before they ever access formal training. You are on shift, navigating real situations, long before anyone sits you down in a room and walks you through the theory.
This handbook is for that gap. The practical knowledge, the scenarios nobody prepares you for and the conversations nobody writes down. Give it to new staff before they start or pick it up yourself if you are thinking about a career in boarding. Either way you will go in with your eyes open.
What's inside:
📋 Active Supervision — what it actually means at 10pm on a Tuesday
📝 Documentation — facts not opinions, duty reports, pastoral records
🧠 Behaviour Management — de-escalation, real scenarios, practical guidance ⚠️ Mandatory Reporting — your obligations by state, when to act
🌍 Cultural Competency — Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students, international students
🔄 Shift Handover — the most important ten minutes of your shift
📖 Scenario Bank — six real boarding scenarios with honest guidance
🏠 My Boarding House — customisable setup tab for your school
Sits alongside ABSA training - not instead of it. The practical resource you reach for on the floor.
10 years. 1,000+ students. Built from the inside.
