Rugby Victory

Congratulations to the OGHS 1st XV who played the final of the Otago Secondary Schools Rugby against St Hilda's on Wednesday night. It was a well fought game with OGHS spending a lot of the game defending but when the crucial times came for points the team worked together and gained results. OGHS took the title winning over St Hilda's 12-10.

Triangular Tournament

On Friday 12 August Otago Girls’ High School hosted Waitaki Girls’ High School and Southland Girls’ High School in our annual triangular exchange. Due to Covid the last time that we hosted the exchange was 2019. We had a wide range of sports competing throughout the day and what a stunning day Dunedin put on. The sports ranged from Basketball, Netball, Rugby, Football, Hockey, Badminton, E-sports and Debating. A great day was had by all of our Senior A teams, and this is also assisting our Senior A sports teams that are competing over Winter Sports week. The tournament was won by Otago Girls’ High School. Congratulations to all those students who competed throughout the day.

Junior Exchange

Our next exchange is the Junior exchange which is being held at Waitaki Girls’ High School this year. Teams participating in this exchange are Netball Y9A & B, Y10A & B, Badminton, E-sports and Junior A Basketball Team. Consent forms and letters are presently being given to those students that will be travelling to Oamaru on Thursday 8th September.
