Application and Fees
All enquiries for boarding should be directed
to the Headmaster's Secretary, Mrs Eaton, who will arrange
for the necessary forms and information, relating to the hostel,
to be sent out. In the first instance contact should be made
to:
Dawn Eaton, Headmaster's PA
New Plymouth Boys' High School
Private Bag 2028

Phone: +64 6 758 5399

Fees - The current boarding
fee is NZ $8,500 a year including GST, and all laundry costs.
Each month a detailed invoice is issued to parents which covers
the payment of school fees, travel within New Zealand to and
from home, stationery, etc. Fees are subject to increase with
reasonable notice.
A Boarding Education Trust operates which
ensures a boy's continuing education at NPBHS in the unfortunate
event of the death of the nominated parent provider. Proceeds
of the fund are invested in hostel amenities. It is part of
the Boarding Contract (Clause 2) that a nominated parent completes
a Statutory Declaration and pays the annual fee of $60.00.
The Trust operates two scholarships : one
is called the Discretionary Scholarship - available to those
who have financial difficulties. Application forms are available
from the school. The second scholarship is awarded to the
family of a student who has shown participation in the life
of the hostel and also displays good academic practice. Names
of students are brought to the attention of the Trust by both
Senior Hostel Master and Headmaster. Both Scholarships are
for a value of one term's fee to a maximum of $1,862.50.
Parents of prospective boarders are always
welcome to visit and inspect the school and appointments should
be made with the Headmaster's Secretary (telephone 06-758-5399).
NB: It certainly pays to make advanced bookings
if you contemplate entering your son into boarding. All parents
are asked to read the section on available bursaries and allowances
carefully and to act according to the details given concerning
application.
