Living at Waikato Diocesan School
Student Boarding Houses
Boarding opportunities for girls of the wider Diocese continue to be part of the special character of Waikato Diocesan School, and boarding is embedded in the charter and Bishop Cherrington's vision for the school.
Boarding offers families an opportunity for their daughters to attend the school which is too far from home to be accessible on a daily basis. Boarder families send their daughters to Waikato Diocesan for many reasons:
- The boarding experience;
- The all round education;
- The special character; and
- The family atmosphere.
Girls live with other students from their academic year in one of five boarding houses. Three meals per day are included in the fees and all houses are centrally heated, carpeted and furnished.
Professional, nurturing boarding staff provide the girls with a safe and positive place to live and grow. Homework is supervised and subject specialists provide additional tuition if needed.
As the girls become more senior, they are encouraged to take more responsibility for themselves and to become more independent.
Year 13 girls have individual study bedrooms and share kitchen and living facilities. They cook their own meals in the weekends.
