New Plymouth Girls' High School Accommodation

Accommodation - On Site Boarding

There are two accommodation options for international students:

•	On-site boarding
•	Homestay

On-site Boarding

The preference where possible is for international students to spend their first year boarding at our attached dormitory or school hostel ("Scotlands"). The reason for this is to give newcomers to the country a caring and supportive environment among students of their own age. There is daily supervised study and there are excellent study facilities.

Students are housed in 5 bed modern motel-type units with each student having her own privare space. Because the hostel is in the school grounds, boarders have access to all the school amenities. The hostel is the "heart" of the school and thrives on team work and the friendships made among the students of all nationalities.
