We warmly invite you and your daughter to attend our Open Day on Sunday 26th of May at 10am.

We are a state girls’ secondary school with both day and boarding options. Our vision is for every student to experience success, and we recognise that “success” can be different for different individuals. We pride ourselves on our rich diversity, our strong values and our high standards.

Venue:

68 Cain Street, Parkside, Timaru

Open Day Programme:

Join us at 10am for Principal Deb Hales’ address in the Nora Dickie Hall. Student led tours will then commence, last tour is at 12pm.

You will tour our grounds and facilities showcasing some of the features of our very special kura. There is opportunity to speak with both teachers and students and learn about academic, cultural and sporting opportunities on offer.

“The House” (our boarding facility) is also a part of the tour, giving you the opportunity to chat to our Director of Boarding, staff and boarders and get a sense of the real family atmosphere.

Uniforms

Uniform is an important part of school tradition. Wearing the correct uniform in a neat and tidy fashion is a way for students to show self-pride and discipline, as well as pride in the school and respect for its traditions.

WINTER UNIFORM

A regulation scarf is optional with winter uniform (TGHS blue and white striped, plain black, plain navy or plain white scarves only).

SUMMER UNIFORM

Blazers are optional for any student at any level and can be worn with summer or winter uniform.

The Physical Education uniform is available for purchase by accessing the Timaru Girls’ High School website.

Make up or nail polish is not permitted to be worn. No obvious tattoos are permitted.

Better academic outcomes from single-sex education

We believe this is best achieved within a single sex environment where learning styles specific to girls, are understood and best catered for. Our learning and teaching programmes support positive outcomes for our girls.
