Boarding at College B oarders have been integral to our College community for more than 100 years, adding to the special character of our school. Our three boarding houses – Flower’s, Richards, and School – are core to our College legacy, having been home to outstanding sportsmen, leading figures in the arts, government ministers, renowned business, legal, and medical leaders, and New Zealand’s most honoured war hero. In each House, we provide a welcoming, warm, secure, and caring home away from home. It is a special place where boys grow and develop academically, socially, physically, morally, spiritually, and emotionally. Our boarders have full access to our range of impressive facilities and a wealth of support and knowledge provided by House staff, encouraging boys to flourish and step into leadership roles as they move through their years. Boarding structure E ach boarding House is led by a dedicated Housemaster, supported by the Deputy Housemaster, the Day Matron and Assistant to the Housemaster, and the Overnight Nurse. All Houses also utilise a highly qualified network of staff mentors to deliver pastoral care in unison with the House leadership team. Each boy is assigned a staff mentor and placed in a horizontal mentor group within the House, meaning the group is composed exclusively of students from the same year. A boy remains with the same staff mentor during his years in the House, securing a strong, supportive connection. Weekly meetings and student development support academic and personal aspirations. In a collaborative approach across five years at College, the House staff guide each boy and help to advance a student’s academic, co-curricular, and sports aspirations.
