We honour the past. We celebrate the present. We empower the future.
The aging oak trees and the carefully crafted landscape are the essence of the original Hamilton High School site that forms part of our heritage and inheritance from former pupils. The time, planning, devotion to learning and the strong stewardship of past principals, have all contributed to the students’ experience of Hamilton High School, Hamilton Girls’ High and Hamilton Boys’ High. Hamilton High School was a focal point for the growing city and guided many of New Zealand’s future leaders.
Over the last hundred years, thousands of families have contributed to building these schools; their spirit, and their soul.
After 100 years of progress, Hamilton High School has grown into two notable schools: Hamilton Girls’ High and Hamilton Boys’ High. The founding members were committed to providing an education that would produce sound young women who are able to pursue their destinies both in New Zealand and globally.
The School’s Strategic Plan affirms its traditions and strengths, while making a commitment to educate students to be citizens of an increasingly global community in which empathy, trust and ethical values are important. Education for the world of the 21st century emphasises the need for each student to be a lifelong learner capable of critical and creative thinking.
Hamilton Girls’ High School embraces the challenges of the 21st century to support our girls to become thoughtful, confident and resilient young women.
