Welcome to Hewett House Hostel.

Hewett House Hostel sits proudly on Napier Hill and prides itself in providing a safe and happy boarding experience for your daughter to further her education and gain valuable life skills for her future.

There is a sense of belonging in our Hostel, where girls from a variety of different backgrounds come together to share their schooling experiences and learn to live together in harmony.

We expect our boarders to respect the staff and all Hostel facilities and develop their own sense of self worth and independence to lead productive lives in the community.

The Hostel supports academic learning, conducting a supervised Prep. Programme for girls, providing support from a dedicated liaison teacher and having computer suites for study and completion of homework. 

We offer the opportunity for girls to participate in a wide range of, sporting, cultural and service activities offered by Napier Girls High school and encourage girls to be the best that they can be.

The Hostel is a warm, caring and safe home, where around the clock, your daughters are nurtured by a team of experienced supervisors and support staff.

The Hostel operates a full commercial kitchen which provides tasty nutritional meals for the girls from breakfast through to supper.     

Routines and rules are clearly outlined, and there is an expectation on the girls to behave appropriately to ensure their safety and well being in the Hostel.

The years spent in the Hostel will teach your daughter to be confident in her own abilities, to be a leader and to have tolerance and empathy for the people around her. Your daughter will leave the Hostel with life long friendships and equipped with the skills to take on the challenges of adult life.
