Boarding at the Junior Campus

Boarding at our Junior Campus provides students with a safe, secure and supportive foundation to begin their educational journey at Dilworth School.

We foster a sense of community among our boarding students and house staff, and aim to meet the student’s physical, social and academic needs in a ‘home-away-from-home’ environment. Their engagement and enjoyment is paramount, and their learning from living as a boarder is just as valuable as classroom education. 

We want whānau to be part of our young men’s boarding experience and encourage regular communication, from phone calls and emails to attending school events. Students from Auckland can also keep links with local sporting or cultural clubs; we may grant leave once a week for outside practices (subject to fulfilling Dilworth obligations).
