Boarding
“My daughter is a different child. Boarding at New Hall has given her the best of both worlds. She is independent during the week and at the weekend we have a great time together.” Parent of a Year 8 student
The four boarding houses offer their members a strong sense of identity and opportunities to forge new friendships. The boarders enjoy a relaxed, homely environment and the support and care of a dedicated and enthusiastic staff team. All boarders may have single study bedrooms from age 8 onwards, though younger boarders often prefer to share in rooms with 2 or 3 others. All boarding houses have their own kitchen, well-equipped common rooms, internet access and a library of books and DVDs.
| ""I decided that boarding could be fun. I think it makes me much more independent. I would not want to be the sort of person who rings their mother every time they have to make decisions. On Saturdays, I am busy with athletics, shopping and study. On Sundays, which I consider to be a day of rest, I join in the church service at 10.30 am and, after a special Sunday lunch, I find I have time to read and relax". Year 7 student. |
