Welcome from the PrincipalWe value academic excellence and believe it is best achieved within a single-sex environment where learning styles specific to girls are understood and best catered for. Girls' personal welfare is of utmost importance to us, as is maintaining high standards of discipline in a supportive caring environment. We offer a broad, interesting and challenging curriculum, and all girls are encouraged to participate in sporting, cultural and service activities that are available. Girls' High girls are expected to demonstrate kindness and respect to others at all times. We have a proud tradition of 129 years as a provider of education in New Zealand. We know every girl will foster and maintain our beliefs and values for the rest of their lives. I give my commitment to your daughter that she will be given the opportunity to achieve and excel at Timaru Girls' High School. Helen Vear (Mrs) Principal Scientia Potestas Est – Knowledge is Power.That has been our motto throughout our 129 year history and we live it today as much as we always did. Our heritage is based on friendship, pride, respect and understanding. With under 500 girls we enjoy and support a safe and caring family atmosphere. We pride ourselves on the fact that we know every girl personally. When our girls arrive at school they automatically join a much larger family i.e. the Timaru Girls’ High School Old Girls. Old Girls’ Associations are active throughout New Zealand as they value their long standing association with Timaru Girls’ High School. Phar Lap Statue Visit
