The Wykeham Collegiate offers comfortable, homely boarding for girls from Grade 1 to Grade 12, and both weekly and full boarding are offered, as well as temporary boarding for day girls.
Our boarders come from all parts of KwaZulu-Natal and other provinces of South Africa. Many boarders come from other countries in Africa, such as Zambia, Zimbabwe, Swaziland, Lesotho, Kenya, Malawi and Botswana and some from as far afield as China, UAE, England, and Mauritius.
The Boarding Establishment staff includes the Boarding Co-ordinator, Housemothers and several Boarder Mistresses.
Sickbay is staffed by trained nursing sisters during the day and there is an assistant night nurse who sleeps in Sickbay every night to deal with any emergency and to look after girls who are in Sickbay overnight.
Girls enjoy structured time during the week and more flexible time on weekends with outings to movies, malls, the Midlands Meander, ice skating, Epic Karting, uShaka and more.
Our boarders say that the most important aspect of boarding is the forging of lasting friendships. When people live with each other, they become friends for life. Through boarding, the girls grow in independence and learn to value diversity and gain a deeper understanding of different cultures.
Junior Boarding
The Junior School has approximately 20 boarders at any one time. We offer junior boarding on a casual, weekly and full-time basis.
Our newly-renovated Junior School Boarding Establishment, Rose Ridge, is located across the road from our main school entrance. This charming, historic home has been transformed into a modern, comfortable and well-equipped Boarding Establishment, designed specifically around the needs of our junior boarders.
