A message from the Principal
Our Principal, Marie Gordon, invites you to be part of our whānau.
E ngā mana, e ngā reo, e ngā kārangaranga maha, tēnā koutou katoa.
Hamilton Girls’ High School has shaped and influenced our young women since 1911. Core values and principles underpin a dynamic learning environment and our students are given every opportunity to aspire to excellence. We cater for the all round educational needs of our young women and offer an outstanding education pathway to ensure the best possible career destination.
As educational leaders at Hamilton Girls’ High School, we are committed to consolidating on and lifting the bar for raising the achievement across the four cornerstones of Academic, Leadership, Cultural and Sporting endeavours.
Our young women are encouraged to achieve in the classroom and to combine this success with involvement in sporting and cultural activities. A balanced education embraces whole person learning and allows them to be challenged, extended and motivated in all aspects of their life.
As a parent, choosing the right school for your daughter’s education is an important decision.The adolescent years are particularly significant in education because students are at a stage in their lives where they are faced with choices and challenges that shape or determine success in future years.
Our expectations of our students are high. We expect them to be well dressed, polite, courteous and prepared for learning. Becoming fully engaged in our school culture is essential and an exciting part of being at secondary school.
Our School motto in Latin is "Sapiens Fortunam Fingit Sibi" which means "Mā te mārama ka puta ki te ao - A wise woman shapes her own destiny".
It is our aim to ensure that every girl who passes through our gate will be empowered to shape a destiny that reflects her aspirations, and the aspirations of her whānau. I invite you to be part of our school.
Paimārire ki a tātou katoa.
Marie Gordon
