Philosophy
Hopetoun Hall aims to provide the opportunity for rural and regional girls to attend Genazzano FCJ College. Sending a child away to school can be a daunting prospect for both parent and child, and staff at Hopetoun Hall are aware of the importance of their role in ensuring that these young women feel secure, challenged and an integral member of this close-knit community.
Each student is encouraged to develop to her full potential and our committed and highly experienced boarding staff are ready to assist in this endeavour, providing practical and emotional support as young women juggle study and adolescence away from loving families.
