One of the key considerations of parents sending their daughters boarding is the emotional and physical wellbeing of their children.

Boarding is a close community. As a community we all contribute to the wellbeing of each other and an ethos of mutual care and concern.

The House Matron and her staff maintain a good rapport with the girls and manage to balance the individual's need for a caring, homely environment with the systems and processes needed to manage a home of teenage girls. Seniors and individual students also play an important role in the care of their peers and younger girls.

Timaru Girls’ High School students lead very active lives with their studies and co-curricular activities, so the House staff are careful to provide balanced meals with a focus on giving girls all the energy and nutrition they require for their busy lifestyle.
