Boarding
"Every champion was once a contender who refused to give up."
Whilst we do not advocate as being a boarding institution, we are aware of the need to assist whānau with this option and do work to provide limited accommodation through private homes. Evidently this relies on the goodwill of our existing whānau and staff to make this a reality and as such it is reviewed annually. We fortunate to have a number of private homes available for students based in Palmerston North and Feilding. The homes are all operated by whānau and though independent of MANUKURA, are critical in the role they play in supporting the students holistic development. As such MANUKURA is included in the decision making process to assist the boarding home students, whānau and the boarding home caregivers.

Private Boarding is arranged by individuals independently. If any opportunities arise that we are aware of we will contact whānau directly. If you can please keep us informed of your final boarding plans that is always appreciated so we can maintain contact with boarding whānau throughout the year. Boarding fees are arranged with individual whānau who care for students. MANUKURA’s current rates are offered as a guide: $180 per week for 7 days and $160 per week for 5 days through automatic payments – this will be determined by you and the boarding whānau.
