A Place to Learn and Belong

Kia ora and welcome to Whanganui Girls’ College.

We are a girls’ secondary school in Whanganui, with opportunities for students to grow through learning, culture, sport, the arts and leadership.

Choosing a school is an important decision. We invite you and your daughter to meet our people, see the school in action and talk with us about her interests, learning and hopes for the future.

Support as she grows

Our ASTRA mentoring programme and pastoral team support students as they navigate school life. We work with students and whānau to encourage progress, build confidence and respond when support is needed.

Learning that opens doors

Students experience a broad range of learning in the junior school before exploring subject choices and pathways in the senior years. Learning support and extension opportunities help students develop their strengths and take their next steps.

Opportunities to get involved

From cultural activities and the performing arts to sport, clubs and student leadership, there are many ways to contribute, try something new and connect with others.
