Hostel Enrolments Now Open

Due to Covid, we have changed the format of this year's "Open Day" for Sonninghill Hostel.

This Sonninghill Video will give you a great idea of what life at Sonninghill is all about. Sonninghill Head Girl, Rachel Apiti, will take you through what we offer, from facilities to routines, expectations, food, and the special character of our whare.

This is our Sonninghill Hostel Prospectus for 2023. Here you will find information that addresses most of the burning questions about hostel life at Sonninghill.

Want to know more about what's on offer at Hamilton Girl's High School? Watch this Hamilton Girls' High School Video and see our website at www.hghs.school.nz.

Tours of the Hostel can be organised by appointment with the Director of Boarding. Please see contact information below.

To be considered for the first allocation of places, applications for the following school year are required by 12 April. Applicants will be advised of their acceptance as soon as possible after the closing date. Applications received after the closing date will also be considered. Students who receive a place at Sonninghill gain automatic entry to Hamilton Girls’ High School.

All requests for information, applications and tours of the hostel are to be addressed to:
