Selwyn House School offers a world-class<br />
education with a talented teaching staff and<br />
small class sizes which are set within a futurefocused,<br />
nurturing environment. An extensive<br />
range of educational, sporting and cultural opportunities<br />
are offered for girls in Years 1 - 8.<br />
A supportive all-girl learning environment<br />
encourages girls to take risks without fear<br />
of failure and develops their love of learning.<br />
They become confident, compassionate,<br />
articulate and determined young women who<br />
have the values, skills, and attributes needed<br />
to not only achieve their goals but to make a<br />
difference in their communities. Our teachers<br />
ensure girls are inspired and committed<br />
to learning as they develop their unique way<br />
of learning and achieving. The focus across<br />
Years 1 - 8 is on the growth of the developing<br />
girl encompassing intellectual, social, physical,<br />
emotional, and cultural needs.<br />
Selwyn House is committed to providing a<br />
continuum of international education. The<br />
combination of the International Baccalaureate<br />
Primary Years Programme (PYP) and our<br />
future-focused STEAM and Mechatronics<br />
curriculum ensures girls are equipped to face<br />
a continually changing world with confidence<br />
and enthusiasm. We focus on instilling strong<br />
foundations which can be successfully built<br />
upon. Core learning in reading, writing and<br />
mathematics is a priority. Specialist programmes<br />
in Art, Creative Writing, Leadership,<br />
Mechatronics, Music, Performing Arts, Physical<br />
Education, Science, Spanish and Swimming<br />
play key roles to further enhancing learning.<br />
Selwyn House provides each girl with a personalised<br />
learning experience. Each classroom<br />
and specialist teacher has the time to a foster<br />
meaningful relationships with each student.<br />
Due to our comprehensive learning environment,<br />
our girls are highly skilled, stand out<br />
among their peers and are prepared for a successful<br />
transition to secondary school.<br />
Selwyn House’s nurturing environment is<br />
apparent in all aspects of the school. In our<br />
modern and safe, family-oriented Boarding<br />
House, girls are supported by dedicated staff<br />
and tutors. Girls from across New Zealand and<br />
internationally fondly call the Boarding House<br />
their ‘home away from home’ and easily form a<br />
sisterhood with others.<br />
We believe in the strength of tradition, the<br />
promise of the future and the power of education.<br />
