In the hostel, learners will develop invaluable personal, social and leadership skills – for life.
We offer Weekly boarding ONLY at Wynberg Girls’ High School. Our hostel, Waterloo House, is situated within the school grounds to ensure that boarders have complete access to all our school facilities and activities. The hostel can house approximately seventy girls from Grade Eight to Grade Twelve.
