At Waitaki Girls’, every student is known, valued and encouraged to discover her strengths, talents and aspirations. We believe in creating a safe, inclusive and supportive environment where young women feel a genuine sense of belonging, are encouraged to take opportunities, and grow in confidence as learners, leaders and individuals.

Our students are supported to strive for personal excellence, both in the classroom and through the many sporting, cultural, service and leadership opportunities that enrich school life.
