Regardless of ability or experience, your daughter will have the opportunity to discover what she loves at St Cuthbert’s.
We have budding scientists, potential sports stars, aspiring artists and performers – as well as lots of girls who are yet to discover their passions and strengths. What’s important to us, is that every girl feels confident to have a go and try everything – having fun in the process.
At St Cuthbert’s, Performing Arts is essential to develop our girls’ creativity, compassion, and a sense of shared accomplishment.
St Cuthbert’s girls are less inhibited and willing try new sports in an environment which is inclusive, encouraging and above all, fun.
St Cuthbert’s students have endless opportunities for interactive, hands-on life experiences including camps, international trips and the Duke of Edinburgh.
At St Cuthbert’s our girls are encouraged from a very young age to use their voice, and that their opinions really matter.

Home away from home with our Boarding houses.
We love watching our Boarders grow up alongside one another and develop amazing friendships, confidence, independence and a sense of lasting sisterhood.
Our experienced, compassionate team has welcomed hundreds of girls to our Boarding family over the years, and with every girl our heart is warmed as we see them adjust to living away from home.
We hope you will find this information useful in preparing your daughter for her Boarding experiences.
Watch this short video from Head Boarder, Sarah Lock and Boarder Emme Kearney.
When I first came to Boarding in Year 9, it was inevitably scary as I had never done anything like this before except for the occasional camp, or stories I had read in books. However, as soon as I arrived and entered through the Boarding doors, I was wrapped up in the Boarding community, full of laughs, support and friendship, and have never looked back since.

Kahunui — meaning ‘big hawk’ in Māori — is a unique and transformative experience.
Nothing equips girls for the future better than Kahunui – our exclusive outdoor education and life skills centre in the Bay of Plenty – offering a unique and transformative experience for all Year 10 girls.
St Cuthbert’s is the only girls’ school to offer a residential life skills outdoor learning programme on a separate campus, which is designed to advance all levels of fitness – social, physical, emotional and intellectual. Our girls emerge with new-found resilience and self-confidence, and a fresh appreciation of their home and family.
This documentary follows the second Kahunui intake of 2019.
