SCHOOL OPEN DAYS<br />
Selwyn House<br />
WESTERN NEWS<br />
Selwyn House School is the only school in<br />
Christchurch offering a girls’ only education<br />
from years 1 through to 8. We believe that<br />
combination, of a girls’ only education that<br />
takes students from their earliest school years<br />
right through to high school, is what gives our<br />
students the strongest start to their secondary<br />
education.<br />
Our carefully crafted programme focuses<br />
on developing ‘the total girl’, who has the<br />
confidence, resilience, foundational knowledge,<br />
creativity and compassion to succeed and lead<br />
in the future. We help students identify their<br />
own strengths and talents and tap into each girl’s<br />
unique potential so that they leave this school<br />
with the self-confidence and skill-set they need<br />
to thrive at secondary school and beyond.<br />
At Selwyn House we believe leaders are made,<br />
not born, and that is why we put a particular<br />
focus on leadership in the Senior School. In<br />
comparison to other intermediate or middle<br />
school high school programmes, our Year 7 and<br />
8 students have the distinct advantage of being<br />
the senior students in their school. Every girl<br />
has the opportunity to serve in leadership roles<br />
and the high number of Selwyn House students<br />
that then go on to assume leadership roles<br />
in their secondary schools, and later in their<br />
careers, speaks for itself.<br />
We understand girls at Selwyn House and<br />
we know how important it is for our students<br />
to feel supported and encouraged as they work<br />
through those crucial development stages<br />
between Years 1 and 8. Our students are able to<br />
negotiate these formative years within a safe and<br />
nurturing environment, where they are able to<br />
be themselves, safely challenge themselves, and<br />
develop a strong sense of self-worth.<br />

House School education the best start to<br />
