Enwood House is our school boarding hostel that provides premium accommodation for about 100 girls from rural Southland and from overseas. The Director of Boarding Mrs Dennis leads a highly competent and experienced group of staff who genuinely care for and look after students as they would their own child. 24/7 supervision, security systems and the leave monitoring app ‘Orah’ ensure that supervisors know where they students are at all times. The Hostel is within easy walking distance from the school and enables boarders to get involved in all school activities including sports teams, performance opportunities and other extra-curricular activities. During the term break, international students stay with a police vetted and experienced homestay family.
