Genazzano operates a boarding program named Hopetoun Hall Boarding House, accepting students from Year 7 upwards. Full-time, weekly and casual boarding options are available, with meals included and a dedicated boarding staff. Boarders participate in routines, study support and co‑curricular activities, developing independent life skills and forming lasting friendships.
All uniform items are sold at Bob Stewart in Kew, with second‑hand uniforms available through the Genazzano Mothers' Association. A uniform list for 2025 is published for reference.
There is a Café on campus near Parassy Plaza, referenced in development materials as a gathering point for students; boarders receive meals as part of Hopetoun Hall, with meals provided during the boarding period.
There are six Genazzano Houses: Corry (Red), d'Houët (Royal Blue), Douglas (Magenta), Gerda (Green), Stock (Gold) and Winter (White). The House system runs year‑round, with inter‑house events including track and field, cross‑country, indoor rowing, swimming/diving and triathlon, fostering competition and school spirit.
The school is governed by the Genazzano FCJ College Council, with a governance structure that includes a Chair and committees such as Finance and Governance and Risk. The FCJ tradition and Catholic education ethos underpin the college's governance and organizational framework.
