Each year, we offer up to 100 places to first-year residents and up to 50 places for associate members. While the majority of our residents come from rural and regional Queensland, we also have residents from metropolitan Brisbane, interstate and overseas. 

Many of our residents continue the legacy started by their mothers, grandmothers, sisters, or friends by attending Duchesne. Our community is made up of a powerful sisterhood of women that spans generations.
