Introducing Gibb House
Gibb House is the Boarding Facility at Scots College. It is Wellington’s only boys’ boarding house. Established in 1918, Gibb House has been home to many generations of Boarders, and has undergone a number of transformations over the years.
Most recently refurbished in 2007, Gibb House offers a high quality, modern boarding environment.
Gibb House provides boarding for 60 boys. There are single rooms for senior boys; all other rooms are twin share. The well-designed rooms are modern and comfortable with study facilities and online access in every room. Boarders are cared for by the resident Housemaster, Assistant Housemaster, Matron and tutors. All the staff live on campus. A close knit family atmosphere is fostered in this extended family environment.
The boarders have their own Common Room equipped with home theatre systems, pool tables and mini kitchen facilities. The College facilities are available to boarders.
Seven day and five day boarding options are available. Seven day boarders have two exeat weekends each term. Homestays are arranged through the College for those students unable to travel home.
Weekly boarders depart on Friday afternoon (or Saturday after sport) returning on Sunday evening or early Monday morning.
