BOARDING HOUSE MANAGER DIANE MCCLURE

Selwyn House School is proud to offer a safe, nurturing, familyorientated boarding house that caters for 25 students in Years 3 to 8 (ages 7–13). The Somers Cox Boarding House is located conveniently on campus.

Girls who board on campus live in a positive and caring environment which seamlessly aligns with the values of the International Baccalaureate, Primary Years Programme (PYP). Continued support is provided by a caring and professional team who remain focused on helping each girl reach her full potential both socially and academically.

Boarding provides extra opportunities to develop social and life skills. When living with others, many chances arise to practise empathetic understanding, co-operation, patience, respect and responsibility.

The sense of community is strong within the boarding house. Girls from New Zealand and various international locations share their lives, learning from one another, and forging lasting friendships. Each girl’s own special character and the wonderful attributes brought to the boarding community is embraced. The boarding house is honoured to be a second home for our students.

Boarding offers seamless integration of academic, cultural, extracurricular and each girl’s social life. To learn more about the dynamic boarding community at Selwyn House School please contact the Enrolment Coordinator and schedule a visit.

In a world of accelerating change, it is essential that girls develop an abundance mindset in order to focus on the right things and actions in life.
