Introducing the Director of Boarding, Mr Alistair Roland

I have been fortunate enough to have worked in a number of wonderful schools during my time in education. For many of those years I have worked in truly exceptional Boarding communities.

During my time at Geelong Grammar School, I was Assistant Housemaster of the Senior Boys Boarding House for five years and then Housemaster of the Junior Boarding House at the school for an additional five years. After that, I moved to be Head of Geelong Grammar School’s Year 9 Timbertop Campus, located at the foothills of the Australian Alps near Mansfield, Victoria.

I also had the privilege of working at Melbourne Grammar School in the terrific Boarding community alongside Mr Mike Shaw, a great Housemaster. As Head of Boarding at Hale in Perth, Western Australia, I was privileged to work with some fine school Heads, specifically Mr Ross Barron, then Head of Senior School and, of course, Mr Stuart Meade, a superb Headmaster. Following this, I moved to South Korea for a total of 12 years where I was the Secondary School Principal at an international school in Busan.

It is my absolute privilege to have been appointed Director of Boarding at Shore. I look forward to working alongside the very dedicated Housemasters and wider Boarding community.
