Charli Ceglar
I came from Albury, NSW, to board at Caulfield Grammar in Year 10, following in the footsteps of my older brother. I didn’t know any other boarders when I first arrived in 2022, but with the welcoming environment of Morcom House, it soon became clear what the next three years would look like – constant laughs, lifelong friendships, and a new level of independence.
Boarding at Caulfield Grammar has allowed me to grow as a person and experience new opportunities. It has taught me how to cope with life’s challenges – such as balancing a busy schedule of school, sport and friends. Although managing this sometimes seemed overwhelming, I knew everyone was experiencing the same challenges and there was always someone I could talk to.
Morcom House has prepared me for the many endeavours ahead of me after school, building character and resilience.
It’s been hard living away from home, but the experience has made me a better person, and amazing number of opportunities it has provided for me make me feel lucky to have successfully completed such a vital chapter in my life.

I started boarding at Caulfield Grammar School as a timid 14-year-old from Mildura, Victoria, and it was a significant leap in independence and community-building. Leaving behind my familiar surroundings for a new environment was both exciting and challenging. I had to quickly adapt to a new routine and live with peers from various backgrounds. Sharing space with others has taught me invaluable lessons in diligence and communication.
The boarding experience has fostered a strong sense of camaraderie. We celebrated each other’s achievements, supported one another through tough times, and built lasting friendships. Meals in the communal dining area became a social highlight, filled with engaging conversations and laughter. Balancing academic responsibilities with social life was demanding but ultimately rewarding.
Living away from home also introduced me to self-sufficiency. Managing my own schedule, doing laundry and budgeting became essential life skills. These responsibilities, though daunting at times, were crucial in building my organisationand resilience.
Overall, Morcom Boarding House was more than just a place to stay; it was a formative experience that shaped my personal growth and left me with cherished memories and lifelong friendships.
