Welcome to St Andrew’s Junior School Boarding
St Andrew’s School for Girls offers a nurturing and secure boarding experience for Grade 6 and Grade 7 girls, accommodating up to 16 boarders with four girls per room. Living under the dedicated, 24/7 care of two resident Boarding assistants and a Head of Boarding, girls enjoy a structured environment designed to foster independence, community values, and holistic personal wellbeing. Boarders have seamless access to the school’s extensive academic, sporting, and cultural resources, with supervised daily prep sessions, computer and printing facilities.
- Balanced Weekday Structure: The routine keeps girls organized with a 06:00 wake-up, compulsory nutritious meals prepared by school caterers, dedicated afternoon prep/reading sessions, and a clear 20:30 lights-out policy.
- Safe Device Management: To keep girls focused and ensure digital wellness, cellphones are kept locked away outside of rooms and are only permitted during a dedicated 30-minute window during afternoon free time.
- Laundry & Uniform Pride: Professional laundry service runs on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Boarders wear casual clothes after school hours and are expected to maintain a neat appearance in their seasonal uniforms.
- Settling-In Period: To support a smooth transition, we request no direct parent contact during the first week for new boarders. The boarding team provides regular, direct updates to parents during this time.
- On-Site Sickbay: The boarding house features a well-equipped sickbay managed by the resident staff and a Boarding Nurse. A local doctor visits weekly on Wednesdays, and emergency medical services are closely paired with nearby private hospitals.
