Meeting young women's needs

Students start the year with the Big Weekend In, where fun activities help establish bonds between all boarders.

Boarding at Christchurch Girls' High School offers a special learning and living environment. We realise what an important step choosing the right school for your daughter can be.

While boarding school is a necessity for some, for others it is a choice and Christchurch Girls' High School offers full or weekly boarding options.

Christchurch Girls' High School is a purpose-built school for girls and has always placed young women at the centre of education.

Our learning and living environment is tailored specifically to meet the needs of today's young women.

The 2012 ERO report noted "positive relationships create a strong sense of family and belonging for students living in the hostel".

Boarders are catered for by a team of supportive, experienced and caring staff. A director of boarding leads a team of boarding supervisors in ensuring the welfare and safety of the students are paramount. All nutritional needs are met by an experienced, friendly on-site food services team.

Students have opportunities to grow and develop. They learn to manage themselves, relate to others and participate and contribute. In the process, they develop resilience, independence, a good work ethic and lasting friendships.
