Any student interested in applying for a place at Te Kura Kohine ō Ōtākaro

Avonside Girls’ High School for 2023 should visit the school’s website www.avonside.school.nz for all enrolment information.

Enrolments for Year 9 (and all other levels) for 2023 open on 18 May. Enrolments close on 29 July 2022.

On the 17 May 2022, a virtual Open Night is being held on the AGHS Facebook page from 6pm. Details of this are available on our website and Facebook.

This event is in place of our normal Open Evening and is an opportunity to hear online from our new Tumuaki Mrs Catherine Law and several students. You will also be provided with links and information on how to access our amazing new virtual tour.

The prospectus and online enrolment form are available on the website from 18 May.

There is also a hard copy of the school prospectus available at our school office, should you want to collect one. Some of our larger contributing schools have had these delivered to them, so please enquire at your current school office as well.

There will be no on-site Open Evening in 2022, however I am happy to meet with families individually to discuss any questions or concerns. Any enrolment queries can be forwarded to office@avonside.school.nz or tclegg@avonside.school.nz

Following the enrolment process and acceptance of places offered, students and families will be invited to attend enrolment interviews over the latter part of the year.

We look forward to welcoming a new cohort of students to attend our exciting and innovative school.
