Hostel Life
Life at Coldstream Hostel offers a balanced and supportive environment where boys can thrive both academically and personally. With a structured daily routine, including supervised prep during the week, boarders are encouraged to develop strong study habits and self-discipline.
Beyond the classroom, hostel life is centred on community. Boys form lasting friendships, learn to live alongside others, and take responsibility for themselves and those around them. A wide range of co-curricular and recreational opportunities ensures there is time to relax, stay active, and enjoy the full boarding experience.
With modern facilities and a warm, welcoming atmosphere, Coldstream Hostel provides a place where boys feel at home while growing in confidence, independence, and character.

Meals
The Hostel Dining Room, better known as the 'Stag and Boar Cafe', is managed by Cater Plus. Throughout the day, Boardes receive breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea, and dinner.
Our head chef has a passion for food and knows exactly what it takes to satisfy young men’s hungry appetites. The food is absolutely amazing, nutritionally balanced and the menus are designed to meet the needs and likes of teenage boys.
The menu is based on the advice of a dietitian with input from both hostel management, chef and boarders. The menu is on a five week rotation, and all dietary requirements are catered for.
