Mount Erin Boarding House

Established in 1890 by the Presentation Sisters, Mount Erin (MEBS) is the Boarding House of Kildare Catholic College and Mater Dei Catholic College - both are Boarding and Day Schools in Wagga Wagga, NSW. MEBS provides students from the Riverina and beyond with the opportunity to undertake their Catholic secondary education in the beautiful regional city of Wagga Wagga, offering weekly or casual boarding only. This provides its Boarders with the best of two worlds - study in residence during the school week and home with family each weekend.

Boarding at Mount Erin provides the opportunity for a balanced academic, spiritual, sporting, and social experience and the chance to make friends for life. Boarders can study in both a formal and informal academic environment, supported by an excellent tutoring programme and the advantage of peer support. Mount Erin Boarders have the option of attending either Kildare Catholic College (on the same campus as MEBS) or Mater Dei Catholic College, which is a short bus ride away.
