BOARDING HOUSE MANAGER DIANE McCLURE

SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL IS proud to offer a safe, nurturing, family-oriented boarding house for girls in Years 4 to 8 (ages 7 to 13). Our Boarding House is conveniently located within the school grounds, offering a home away from home for up to 29 students.

Our boarders come from around New Zealand, particularly rural areas of Canterbury, and internationally, and casual boarding arrangements are also able to be made.

We value the special character that each girl brings to our community, and we support each girl’s passions and interests with various activities offered both on-site and off-site.

The girls are supported by a caring and professional team, who take huge pride in helping each girl reach her full potential. Our Boarding House Managers will provide a warm welcome for your daughter and oversee her wellbeing and development throughout her time in the Boarding House. Our full-time chef will ensure that she receives a healthy, balanced diet, and make provisions for any dietary needs. A team of tutors support the girls with their homework and fulfil a big sister role to our boarders.

We believe boarding is a unique opportunity for each girl and we pride ourselves on creating a positive environment where the girls are able to develop their academic, social and life skills.

‘The greatest gifts that we can give our students are the freedom to be curious, a thirst for knowledge, and a belief in their abilities.’
