Timaru Girls' High School have joined the Microsoft Student Select Scheme which allows Students & Staff to purchase selected Microsoft Software at very reduced and affordable prices. As an example, Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010 which would normally sell for around $1,000 is available through this scheme for just $98. The criteria for qualifying for these extraordinary bargains is that the student or staff members have a TGHS email account.
