This year all our students set goals based on our learner capability framework. Marlborough Girls' College is a New Metrics school: We are the only school in New Zealand to be in this partnership with the University of Melbourne. Through this partnership we are working hard on improving our learning design so students build skills, attitudes and values that are increasingly important in a modern world.

We had a full hall for the event and it was wonderful to see so many whānau here supporting our rangatahi.
