Boarding Facilities
At Scots College, our boarding facilities are designed to provide students with a safe, comfortable, and supportive home away from home.
Gibb House offers modern accommodation for students in Years 9 to 13, creating an environment where boarders can thrive academically, develop independence, and build meaningful friendships. Located on the Scots College campus, boarding students enjoy convenient access to classrooms, sporting facilities, cultural activities, and the many opportunities available across the College.
Comfortable Accommodation
Our boarding houses provide welcoming spaces where students can relax, study, and connect with one another.
Boarders live in age-appropriate accommodation designed to support both personal wellbeing and community life. Bedrooms provide a comfortable place to recharge, while shared spaces encourage friendships and a strong sense of belonging.
The boarding environment balances personal space with opportunities to participate in the vibrant Gibb House community.
Dedicated Study Spaces
Academic success is an important part of boarding life.
Students have access to dedicated study areas and a structured evening prep programme that supports learning, organisation, and good study habits. Living on campus also allows easy access to teachers, learning resources, and College facilities.
Spaces to Connect
Some of the most memorable boarding experiences happen outside the classroom.
Common rooms and shared social spaces provide opportunities for students to spend time together, build friendships, and relax after a busy day. These spaces play an important role in creating the welcoming and family-like atmosphere that many students describe when reflecting on their boarding experience.
A Diverse Boarding Community
Gibb House brings together students from throughout New Zealand and around the world.
Living alongside students from different backgrounds and cultures enriches the boarding experience, helping students develop global perspectives, respect for others, and lifelong friendships. Today, Gibb House is a diverse and inclusive community that reflects the broader spirit of Scots College.
Safety and Support
The wellbeing of our boarders is our priority.
Boarding students benefit from a supervised environment, secure access systems, and a dedicated boarding team committed to providing care and support throughout their time at Scots College. Our goal is to ensure every student feels safe, connected, and supported as they navigate boarding life.
